Goal against Chelsea :drool:
Iranian. Think he was class on Champ and I had him at Villa. Played for Charlton. Can’t remember his name.
Karim Bagheri. What a player he was.
Andriy Yarmolenko?

I would never have thought Yarmolenko to have scored that many international goals as he's not that prolific for West Ham, but he is level with Mitro with 44 goals for his country.
The full list is as follows:
115 – Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal)
70 – Stern John (Trinidad & Tobago)
68 – Robbie Keane (Republic of Ireland)
68 – Romelu Lukaku (Belgium)
65 – Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)
65 – Luis Suarez (Uruguay)
62 – Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)
60 – Edin Dzeko (Bosnia & Herzegovina)
57 – Clint Dempsey (USA)
57 – Landon Donovan (USA)
56 – Samuel Eto’o (Cameroon)
53 – Edinson Cavani (Uruguay)
53 – Wayne Rooney (England)
52 – Javier Hernandez (Mexico)
52 – Jon Dahl Tomasson (Denmark)
51 – Asamoah Gyan (Ghana)
51 – Thierry Henry (France)
51 – Hakan Sukur (Turkey)
50 – Karim Bagheri (Iran)
50 – Tim Cahill (Australia)
50 – Shinji Okazaki (Japan)
50 – Robin van Persie (Netherlands)
49 – Lukas Podolski (Germany)
48 – Dimitar Berbatov (Bulgaria)
48 – Harry Kane (England)
48 – Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine)
47 – Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany)
46 – Jared Borghetti (Mexico)
46 – Olivier Giroud (France)
46 – Alexis Sanchez (Chile)
45 – Mohamed Salah (Egypt)
45 – Davor Suker (Croatia)
45 – Paulo Wanchope (Costa Rica)
44 – Andriy Yarmolenko (Ukraine)
Never heard of Karim Bagheri, but that international scoring record is ridiculous for a defensive midfielder.
50 goals. Even more impressive when you consider 24 of them weren't against Nepal, Sri Lanka, Guam, Kyrgyzstan or the Maldives.

17/20 as well

17/20 as well. Some were lucky guesses but a lot of it was those countless hours on CM/FM in the early to mid noughties.
20/20, only briefly wavered on one. Autism central.
14 of 20. Guessed on at least 70% of those.
Same as Jimmy.
Van Bommel and Cocu almost had me.
17 guessed on a lot though.
19/20. Question 2 got me, I saw a name and jumped to a (wrong) conclusion.
19 for me too. Number 9 wrong, got the correct answer's youth team wrong. Quite a few could be done by process of elimination.
18/20. Surprised I scored that high, to be honest.
Missed out on two Dutchmen and almost missed out on another because I thought they made their name at Leverkusen.
20. Had to guess the Croatian one “that was once tipped for great things” but this sort of thing is right up my street.
20, last one was a punt but was confident in the rest.
Same.Quote:

Still gutted that Tony Mowbray didn't believe in the concept of defensive midfielders, the guy could have been...uh, I dunno. Better than James Morrison and Chris Brunt anyway.
Which Premier League club did the current Argentina manager play 16 games for in 2006?
West Ham.
Scaloni is one of seven Argentines to play for West Ham in the Premier League. Name the other six.
Tevez, Mascherano,
Edit: whoops. West Ham only 😄
Lanzini
And Zabaleta
There must be some completely useless striker they’ve spent big on in the missing two, but I’m drawing a blank.
Mauro Zarate.Quote:

Bump.
Only four players have won back-to-back Champions League titles with different clubs. Name them.
Seedorf
Pique
Eto'o
Eto’o for sure.
Deco
Alaba
Ibrahimovic?
He never won it.Quote:

Paulo Sousa :cool:
Bingo.
There are two further players who appeared in back-to-back Champions League finals for different clubs, winning one and losing the other. Name them.
Did Cristiano Ronaldo make the final in his first year at Juve?
Thiago Silva is one.
Correct.
Kaka? Real / Milan
No dice.
Coman? Morata?
Morata is correct.
Nick Pope received his first Premier League red card last weekend. Can you name the 12 goalkeepers who have received multiple Premier League red cards?
For a tougher test, can you also name the 42 goalkeepers who, like Nick Pope, have received just the one red card in the Prem?
Jussi Jaaskelainen has the record I believe.
