        Yeah, it's the REAL cup where it gets decided which team is really the best in the world. Kind of like in your World Series

              holland is a part of the netherlands which somehow managed to be used as kind of a synonym for netherlands in spoken language.
              confusing when I think about it....

                Perhaps the widespread use of the name Holland is due to trade between England and what we now know as The Netherlands being via Holland, which is a coastal region? We refer to to it as Holland in Danish too - from what Micha is saying, I take it that this is also the case in German. Interestingly, the other big coastal region of The Netherlands, Friesland, used to extend way up into Germany and the southern parts of Denmark (or extend down, as we would say ), and was perhaps considered something different centuries ago?
