And here in the Stade De France in front of 80,000 screaming fans Metz play Nottingham Forest in the 2010 final of the Anglo France Cup.
The anglo france cup is a cup played between English championship and ligue two sides.
It is great way of developing English players to play continental teams.
The final is watched by the President of France, his wife and the new King of Britain.
Carla Bruni presents the cup to the winners Metz.
Organisation
The trophy is a 32 team tournament. With preliminary round before the first round to get 16 teams from each nation.
Then a straight knockout tournament
I also think the scots should do a trophy like this with the Danes. A Scotland - Denmark cup for teams who did not qualify for Europe. To give Scottish sides Eurpopean experience more often.
Here is my idea. A trophy between the Championship teams of England and Ligue one of France.
It could be called the William the conqueror cup.
