2011 - Barcelona v Man Utd
 
Strange alright considering they won it 12 times and Wembley is the most used venue.
They won it twice in Glasgow, Paris and Brussels and once in Madrid, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Milan and Cardiff.

There is two and a massive Tennis Complex

People are under assumption that the Pyramids are in the middle of nowhere when in fact they are just on the Outskirts of the city about 1 hour drive from central Cairo

The dance classic 'fly on the wings of love' by xtm/dj sammy was taken from the winning Eurovision song from 2000. Which was won by Denmark.

Classic Eurovision song. Mickey Joe Harte copied that song 2 years for Ireland with "we've got the world tonight". The two songs are more or less the same. Check them out on YouTube. I'd say Mickey watched a certain episode of Fr Ted too many times.

My debt is Eir over a dispute . I moved house and I cancelled I wasn't on a contract and they said I was so they say I had to pay up until my contract was out . I cancelled anyways and told them I would be gone from the property so send the return stickers for the router . They waited 6 weeks and sent them then . So the owner dropped them in after 8 weeks so there was a fine for late return of router and a months bill . I tried explaining it to customer care and was gettin nowhere . I wouldn't mind my mobile is on their service and they can't even cop that on . They are not getting a penny

International football matches.
The two teams usually have their countries names abbreviated to three letters and appear in the top left hand corner.

Eg. Germany v England would be GER - ENG.

When Sweden play Denmark it would read:

SWE - DEN (putting those letters together spells SWEDEN.

The remaining missing letters from the full names of those 2 countries are

DEN - MARK (putting those letter together spells DENMARK.
