It is not cheating but using the divine powers bestowed upon me, tosser! We say Sparta. Not Sparta Rotterdam. There's only one Sparta so 'Rotterdam' is superfluous. Sparta are the oldest football team in The Netherlands, established in 1888. They are referred to as 'the gentlemen's club' and the arch rivals (in Rotterdam) of Feyenoord.
