Apparently they're saying a bit more. I personally assume a statement so blatant, must be intentional. Or, since it is past-tense, perhaps they help others recover? No, then they laugh about it.
@error, this doesn't look like your style... and you're not as far as I know German. But, maybe you can close the circuit for them.

The upper and lower floors have completely different styles of window. And the lot appears to be a grass-coated wasteland.

In fairness, they did beat a Canadian team.
But the premise of calling the NBA champion the World Champion is that all the best basketball players in the world come to play in the NBA.
Soccer doesn't work like this, but do you really think an international all star team of non-NBA players could beat an NBA team?

No, it doesn't.
Which European National Soccer League is widely recognized as containing all the best teams in the world. Would the worst Premier League team consistently beat the best Spanish team? Vice versa? Is there a counter whose national league is clearly better than everyone else's?
Because I'd put money on the worst NBA team winning consistently against any non-NBA team.
The European Super League thing from two months ago was going to be this concept, where they'd buy up all the best players in the world and then every game would be 11 All Stars versus 11 All Stars. Except you guys shot it down, presumably because of the Metric System.

The problem those clubs had was that they didn't get support from the relevant governing bodies before making their announcement. The big clubs have a substantial say on what happens at that level, but can't dictate the rules, and the financial implications for the other clubs were pretty bad. Which is not to say that it couldn't be made to work. Just… that the way that they went about it was wrong. In particular, regional franchising is a total no-go (or at least it is with those particular clubs; they'd need to be completely reformed with different names), the finances would need to be connected to the national-level leagues, and there'd need to be mechanisms for promotion and demotion.
In short, it would need to be a very different proposal to the one that was put forward.

Which is to say it couldn't have worked. The whole point of the proposal was to get rid of all the individual national leagues and just have this Pan-European Super League in their place.
Go figure that the individual national leagues were against it.

If tthe SL clubs wanted to abolish the national leagues, why'd they back down when UEFA declared they wouldn't be able to play in them anymore?

They didn't want to abolish the national leagues. They wanted to secede from the national leagues and then whatever happened, happened. (Some national leagues would have collapsed and some would have turned into top-level minor leagues, but that wouldn't be the SL's problem.)
I thought the SL teams backed down because the national governments threatened them and because the fans threatened to boycott, which scared the corporate sponsors they were probably lining up. UEFA saying that SL clubs wouldn't be allowed in the Champion's League and SL players wouldn't be allowed to play for national teams probably didn't help.

No single nation, but the best teams in the entire world are found only in England, Spain and Munich. Because they buy out all good players from all around the world to play for them. Also, Champions League is an exclusively European tournament, but there's not a single team anywhere else in the world that could compete with Champions League finalists. And the last time neither England, Spain nor Munich had a team playing in Champions League final was in 2004 (FYI it's a yearly tournament).

That's exactly the point. Because neither the English league, the Spanish league, nor any other European league contains all the best players in the world, you can't credibly call the best team in one of those leagues "the world champion."
With the NBA, where all the best players in the world play in a single league, the league champion has beaten all the best players in the world.
If all the best players in the world play for UEFA clubs, you could credibly make the argument that the CL Champion is the best club in the world.

Hence why "it kinda does" and not "it literally does". Winning Italian league means nothing. Winning French league means nothing. Winning English league automatically puts you in top 5 teams in the world.
If all the best players in the world play for UEFA clubs, you could credibly make the argument that the CL Champion is the best club in the world.
Which was exactly why I brought it up.

That's how I've been pronouncing it for 40-ish years. I've never heard anyone call it vee. However, the introduction of vim did make pronunciation easier.
