Anyways, I like the Calcutta Cup. A good game each year, always pretty interesting stuff when playing the auld enemy   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcutta_Cup
It was made by melting down the silver rupies that the Calcutta rugby club had left, just before they disbanded .
**** Ahh, you made it a poll now ****

Not to mention the international recognition of the item. Not everyone can look at a fancy football on a stand and know the significance of the event it represents. The gold medal means something to anyone from a 3 year old Latvian to an 82 year old Canadian. |

My next choice would be the World Cup, like you said the world things mean more. Who cares if you're the best in a country when you can be best in the world.
