The FIFA Club World Cup, commonly referred to as the Club World Cup, is an international men's association football competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship was first contested as the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship. It was not held between 2001 to 2004 due to a combination of factors, most importantly the collapse of FIFA's marketing partner International Sport and Leisure. Since 2005, the competition has been held every year, hosted so far by Brazil, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco.
The first FIFA Club World Championship took place in Brazil in January 2000. It ran in parallel with the Intercontinental Cup, a non-FIFA affiliated competition first disputed in 1960 by the winners of the European Champions' Cup and the Copa de Campeones de América. Initially created as Intercontinental Champions Clubs' Cup, since the 1980 season the competition was renamed the European/South American Cup and also knowns as the Toyota Cup following a change in format which saw Toyota become the main sponsor of the competition until it was discontinued in 2004. In 2005, the FIFA Club World Championship absorbed the Toyota Cup and the competition's pilot edition and in 2006 took its current name.

The current format of the tournament involves seven teams competing for the FIFA Club World Cup at venues within the host nation over a period of about two weeks; the winners of that year's AFC Champions League (Asia), CAF Champions League (Africa), CONCACAF Champions League (North America), Copa Libertadores (South America), OFC Champions League (Oceania) and UEFA Champions League (Europe), along with the host nation's national champions, participate in a straight knock-out tournament. The host nation's national champions dispute a play-off against the Oceania champions, from which the winner joins the champions of Asia, Africa and North America at the quarter-finals. The quarter-final winners go on to face the European and South American champions, who enter at the semi-final stage, for a place in the final.

One of the most ledgendary hockey games ever in the history of World Cup hockey ever (15 May 2011). At least according to us, the Finns, who kicked Sweden's ass, 6-1. Siriusly, it was LEDGENDARY.
The first victory for Finland in 16 years, the previous one being from Sweden in Sweden in May 1995, you can bet your ass that this was celebrated like no other. Anywhere you went, you could hear shouts of Den glider in and Ihanaa, Leijonat, ihanaa; the centre of Helsinki was full of people in various stages of drunkeness, singing, dancing, yelling and hugging complete strangers. Today, 16 May 2011, the entire nation is experiecing a colloquial hangover, even those who didn't drink anything last night, because those who did kept up everyone else. Today is the day when no one really cares if you're not 100% on top of your game, because no one else is either. Today, we celebrate. SIX FUCKING ONE, SUCKERS.

A place/competition where antisocial teens go to compete in topics none of them understand, cram the last night, and feel good when they receive one of the thousands of medals there are, just to make them feel better. Oh, and also, it will cost you an arm and a leg to travel if you live anywhere that isn't a third world country or Europe.
The mascot is an alpaca, which they give you stuffed versions of so that you feel less depressed by your crushing defeat at at the hands of the Israeli team.

Diving to the ground and pretending the most serious of injury after being nudged. Often seen during futbol matches. This can also be done in other situations in order to benefit from the slightest bit of injury.
John was world cupping the shit out of that paper cut at work today. He got to leave work early to go to the emergency room but we all know he just wanted to get an early start on Friday Happy Hour at the pub.
