Quote: ThePrinter "Americans are a bit weird and different when it comes to sport......or most things actually.
A team wins a competition over there, whether it be American Football, Baseball, Basketball.....and the Yanks pronounce them as WORLD Champions and everyone agrees.
Leeds not only win the GF, but the World Club Challenge and it apparently makes our sport a joke to call us WORLD champions.'"
Quite right too - only the very myopic actually believe that when Leeds won the WCC they were actually the best team in the world. The WCC is a joke - the British sides have all the advantages and still struggle to get over the line. When an NRL take it seriously seldom does the SL side cover themselves in glory. When Wigan beat Brisbane in Australia yes they were the best team in the world at that time.
The same goes for Kevin Sinfield when some guys in Brighouse awarded him the golden boot - did anyone really believe he was the best player in the world?
