http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/mar/29/football-quiz-around-the-world-in-80-questions

Let's do it, lads.

[Magic]

25/80. :sick:

[Weaver]

46/80 for me.

[Giggles]

40/80. I don't know how it thinks I beat 100% of others though.

[John Arne]

38. I reckon I could have got about 45 if I took my time.

[Magic]

I reckon I could have got over 30 if I took my time.

[Boydy]

33.

[Disco]

I'll have a go when I get home, am I going to be disappointed by the lack of actual mammoths?

[wullie]

50/80, better than 100% of players apparently.

[Sam]

55.

Fountain of knowledge me.

[Ian]

Bastard phone decided to refresh the browser at question 56 when I went to check a message. I wasn't doing great though.

[SvN]

48/80. I guessed at least 10 of my correct answers.

[Giggles]

I'm surprised I got near 50% as I have zero interest in the hipster leagues.

[Vim]

43/80, missed a couple easy ones because I wasn't focusing. Got all the Italy/Serie A related ones correct, at least.

[-james-]

You got 55/80
How did you do?
You beat 100% of others.

WORLD FOOTBALL QUIZ

Four out of the first five questions are about the UK. :face:

Make it five out of six. :face:

[Reg]

37.

Pepe, it's an English newspaper to be fair.

[Pepe]

34/80

Not too bad considering I didn't know about 70 of them.

[igor_balis]

43. Think I guessed about half of those as well.

[The Merse]

43/80. Happy with that. Apparently I beat 100% of challengers so dino is clearly a fucking liar.

[Jimmy Floyd]

56. Pretty happy with that given that basically all my guesses were wrong.

[Disco]

52.

Fuck you Guam question.

[Pen]

50/80. Happy enough with it as a few were plain guesses, but somewhat annoyed that I jumped the gun on a few I would've known had I just taken a second to think about it.

[Danny]

You got 53/80
How did you do?
You beat 100% of others.

[Spikey M]

31.

[Mellberg]

51. Decent.

[simon]

43/80.

[mugbull]

Yung 55

[Spikey M]

I don't even know why I was honest if you're all gonna add inches to your scores.

[-james-]

43/80. Happy with that. Apparently I beat 100% of challengers so dino is clearly a fucking liar.

How?

[Spikey M]

Do you know what 100% is?

[-james-]

I think so. Presumably it's just a rounding error in this case.

[Shindig]

45/80. Reasonable.

[The Merse]

How?

That was sarcasm... The idea being that if I beat 100% of all other players then you couldn't possibly have beaten my score before I'd taken it, of course it's because it's bollocks.


Do you know what 100% is?

Was that at me or Dino?

[Spikey M]

Lewis.

[ItalAussie]

54/80

Max Vieri :cool:

[Kikó]

37. Some clangers in there.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Two days on, I'm still annoyed by them duping me into going Mario Yepes for the Colombian caps one.

[Spikey M]

I'm still livid that they had a question about norn iron and George Best was fucking wrong. 90% sure the other names were made up.

3:54 to spare.

[SvN]

3:22 to spare, but it took me about 12 goes to spell Teixeira

[igor_balis]

I only got 15 :D

oops

[Giggles]

I got to the third one and hadn't a clue.

[-james-]

3:22 to spare, but it took me about 12 goes to spell Teixeira

I tried first name and last names on their own and gave up. Also couldn't figure out who MSI were.

[igor_balis]

It just reminded me of that annoying youtube man KSI, which distracted me for the rest of the quiz which is why I did so badly.

[Vim]

Got them all, but had to google what MSI was. The answer didn't come up, but I guess it shouldn't count, it was a big clue.

[Adamski]

I'd have thought that was really obvious when it was a massive transfer and going to Man city!

[Adamski]

I have been a team mate of Peter Schmeichel, Stefan Effenberg, Jean-Pierre Papin, Gabriel Batistuta, Duncan Ferguson, Marcel Desailly and Tijanji Babangida.

Who am I?

[Disco]

Is it a de Boer?

[Disco]

No, Laudrup is a better fit, whichever one was at Chelsea. Brian? Fuck knows where he played with Papin though.

[Adamski]

Nailed it.

Schmeichel - Denmark
Effenberg - Bayern
Papin - Milan
Batistuta - Fiorentina
Ferguson - Rangers
Desailly - Chelsea
Babangida - Ajax

[Pen]

It probably is Brian Laudrup. Papin played in Milan the same time as Laudrup.

[Adamski]

Who is the only player to have scored at least 10 league goals in England, France, Holland and Germany?

[Shindig]

Your mam. Sorry, you said player...

Your dad.

[Adamski]

Your mam. Sorry, you said player...

Your dad.

Good one, did you mean to post it in the jobs thread?

[Shindig]

I never mean to do anything. Serious suggestion was almost Jean-Pierre Papin but he's never been over here.

[Vim]

I was gonna say Van Nistelrooy but he never played in France.

[Adamski]

Would expect Jimmy Floyd to get this.

[SvN]

Would expect Jimmy Floyd to get this.

Afonso Alves

[Adamski]

:D

I should also clarify the player in question scored 10 goals in one season in each of these countries.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Must be Sala Kalou.

[Adamski]

Nailed it.

[Shindig]

Ah, I was thinking too far back.
