AFCON players?
We've got Henri Saivet out on loan at St Etienne who could be the 'link' between Newcastle being a sort-of club and the AFCON, but we also had Diamé, Atsu, Mbemba and someone else at the tournament.
It's nothing to do with the Afcon.
The 'sort of' isn't to do with loans either.
The other 'sort of' club is Sweden's Hammarby.
They've all 'produced' players who went to the Euros?
edit - nah fuck that.
Have players that scored at the Euros?
Boydy wins. Euro 2016, if there was any doubt.
The sort ofs were own goal scorers Ciaran Clark (Newcastle) and Kristinofi rugbiufb rug ui Saevarsson (Hammarby).
What does this represent?
1. Germany
2. Argentina
3. Brazil
4. France
5= Ireland, Costa Rica
7= Spain, Holland
9. Italy
10= Mexico, Romania
12. England
Top goalscorers at the 2014 world cup?
Presumably including penalty shootouts
No...
Don't remember Ireland smashing the goals in.
League table of World Cup penalty shootouts
That'll be it. I'm surprised there's only 12 teams that have participated in them.
Bingo (those who have played 2+, anyway).
Seen it so I won't play.
That Lazio player who was meant to be 15?
Taribo West?
Pretty sure that's Mario Melchiot
Paul Ince?
Freddy Adu.
Robert Mugabe.
Melchiot it is.
Name the 7 Japanese players to have played in the BPLSBB....
Is BPLSBB Premier League?
Is so:
Okazaki
Kagawa
Yoshida
Myagagi or what he's called (that Arsenal guy)
Nakata
Inamoto, the OG
Well that was very Google-able, found the others. Though it was Miyachigi
But won't say the last two then (didn't have a clue who they were anyway).
Last one is quite difficult, only played 4 games whilst on loan at a Prem club in the early-mid 00's.
I fucking said the Miagaichai guy. Fuck off with your autism spelling criteria.
Myagagi v Miyaichi..... give yer head a wobble.
Last one was some idiot at Spurs but I can't remember his name. I'll have a few guesses.
Hiteshi Miyamoto
Kazutoshi Iwada
Yaruhito Mitsuno
Kazuki Sato
The one at Spurs was probably called Harakiri.
It was Kazuyuki Toda. I'd completely forgotten about him.
I have a lot of time for the Japanese football team, and Iceland and various other teams because they all have homogeneous names. Sides like Germany these days are a disgrace with their Jerome Boatengs and their Gonzalo Castros.
Racial purity till I die.
Mike Havenaar's threatening to ruin it with Japan.
Surely he's too shit to make the team. And didn't they have one of then shit Brazilians in their team at some point.
Tulio Tanaka was a quality player.
All about his namesake Atomu Tanaka for me.
What links these players?
Craig Burley
Gonzalo Higuain
Robbie Keane
Lucas Radebe
Jon Dahl Tomasson
Georginio Wijnaldum
Thus is actually a genuine question, but also a good trivia question:
Which manager was for, for maybe Arsenal or Tottenham, that got a ticket stub from the tube out during his first press conference?
I thought it was the Arsenal manager before Wenger
'This is the ticket to my dreams', iirc.
Wasn't he trying to make out he was just like the fans too?
Hmmm.... is it some kind of Player of the Year award? Jon Dahl Tomasson always stumps me. His entire career.
They all grew up supporting L.A. Galaxy?
