UEFA Champions League

Just to clarify - I wasn't proposing including overseas teams in the FA Cup - merely stating that it would be interesting, particularly for MLS teams - as the format offers greater opportunities for an upset.

There is already a fairly low key world club championship - AFAIK a one-of game between the South American and European champions.

They have a bit more of that now with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_Club_World_Cup. With more money being poured into it, it should carry more prestige, but with payouts along the lines of 5 million wont attract much.
