Once you see Erland Johnsen, all pens down
Thirsty for a question.
Hang on, let me go to the vault.
Right, here we are.
Question 7
Romania and Japan are the only national teams to have done what?
Withdrawn from a World Cup.
Nope, Turkey have done that among others.
Tortured the Chinese?
All dyed their hair the same colour for a tournament.
I don't actually know if the Japanese have done this.
They have not.
First clue: it's an unwanted achievement.
Gone out of two consecutive tournaments without scoring (or negative goal difference)?
Knocked out of the World Cup via goal difference.
Got through the group stage without winning? (Someone did that recently, I can't remember who)
Lost a World Cup knockout game after having a 2 goal lead?
I'm trying to think what potentially links them and I can't get past them both being allied with Germany during WW2. I am assuming that's nothing to do with it?
Lost a World Cup knockout against 10 men?
Nah. England vs Ronaldinho. Argentina vs Bergkamp.
Lost to Caribbean island teams at the World Cup?
Lost all group games in a World Cup by just 1 goal?
Edit: Balls.
Alright Merse.
Just PM Wullie tomorrow, Jimmy.
Picture round today.
Question... 8?

I'm a twit
Could be miles off, but my guess is:
You are absolutely bang on, SvN. Either that's a great shout or it's not as hard as I thought. Have an enormous Ken Monkou.

I have the Quickly Kevin podcast to thank for that. A few weeks ago they were talking about links between players from different areas that played with each other, so I instantly thought that might be the connection.
What is the connection? I see that racist Scouse, Robbie Keane, Marc Albrighton...
And to wullie - outdone this time sunshine, on a Coventry one as well!
Yep, I thought if Wullie is scorched-earthing the whole thing then the only way to repel him is to make a question about Steve Ogrizovic or Marcus Hall.
No chance was I getting that, didn't help that I had C as Andy King
Didn’t help that I had A as Alan Kennedy. Fucking 70s moustaches.
Edit - actually, same connections would have stood, I think.
Question, erm, 9
Brazil / Chelsea
Switzerland / Tottenham
Serbia / Fulham
There are four more club/country combinations in this list. Can you name them?
Spain / Liverpool
Germany / Fulham
You are correct. I haven't got a picture on my phone but imagine if you will the poise and the posture of Mario Stanic.
What’s the link?
Sorry, should have said. Each country / club pairing represents the only manager from that country to have worked in the Premier League and the club they managed (I didn't include Avram Grant or Pellegrini who have had multiple clubs).
Christian Gross should've unlocked the door there, but I spent 25 minutes thinking about left backs because of Reto fucking Ziegler.
