AC Milan?

Inter ?

Parma? Or am I not allowed to guess again? :crazyeye:

Lazio?

Yes, you are. And congratulations, you got both teams right. Well done. :goodjob:

Cool. :) Here's the new question:

Name both of the '2002 Fifa Footballer of the Year' winners

On men: Ronaldo.
On women, I don't know but I'm pretty sure it was an american. The only one I know is Mia Hamm, perhaps she was.

Damn, got it in one! I thought that would have everyone stumped for at least a short amount of time... :rolleyes: ;)

Yeah, but it was a lucky shot. May the football women forgive, but Mia Hamm is the only player I can remember. :(

Oh, wait! There's also Ronaldo's wife, she's also a football player, isn't she?

We all know the reason why there are 5 stars in Brazil's symbol in the shirt, or 3 in Germany's one or 1 in France's shirt. But why can you find 2 stars in Juventus' shirt and only 1 star in Milan's and Inter's shirt? What's the meaning of that in italian clubs?

For every 10 championships a club gets to wear a star

I thought this one would take a little more time. Well done willem. :goodjob: Milan and Inter still didn't get 20 scudettos as Juventus did.

:lol: it seems to me like we all underestimate each other. Now to be safe: this one might not take long. :p

Where did Ronaldo come from before going to PSV?

Cruzeiro de Belo Horizonte.

your turn. due to bad phrasing of the question i would've been forced to agree to 'brazil' as well...:p

Continuing in Italy: in 1949 an italian team that was coming home after a match in Portugal suffered a plane crash and several players died. This severely affected Italy's team in the next WC as half of the national squad was made of players from that team . Which team was it?

:o no idea, but I'm guessing Juventus?

Nope!

AC Milan?

I'm pretty sure it was one of the Milan teams

then i'm guessing Internazionale :p

You're both wrong, but I'll give you a different challenge. Another reason because this sad event is very famous is because the plane crashed against the tower of a cathedral when loosing altitude (I wonder if bin Laden likes football :rolleyes: ). I'll give the question to the first person that answers either the initial question or the name of the town where the cathedral is located.

Torino. They played in black strips for the next season.

Edit: don't know where the crash was.

Oh well, it didn't last too long either. The question is yours zenga, but anyone can still try to find the other answer, just for fun.

Pisa, that's why it's tower is so strange :p

ok, serious, it was in Turin (Torino?)

hmmz, ok, zenga beat me to the question.

This looks like a chat room... @willem: no, it's not any of those, it's not a very known place, only the crash is notorious.

then i'll probably never guess it ;) Is it far from Torino?

Ok, another fairly easy one (maybe :p )...

Who was the last defender to win the European Footballer of the Year title, and what was the year?

That's agood question...:lol:
Like I said, not very notorious. I'll try to find out. :lol:

Sammer in '96

Which UK country was the only one not to participate in the World Cup '82?

It was Wales.

:goodjob:

In a final of a WC the referee only agreed to enter the pitch with the following conditions: that he had to be protected by a police battallion after the end of the match and to have a transportation to return home within half hour after his last whistle. What WC was this and what's the name of the referee.

not sure, but i'm guessing the WC final '78, but i don't know the ref. All I know for sure is that the Dutch team had been intimidated a lot before the match, and that the crowd was crazy, so I can imagine it's that final (something tells me I'm overlooking something though)

You are indeed. Wanna know what? That's not the right WC...

:lol: yeah....thought so

I think it was the 1930 final between Uruguay and Argentina, don't have a clue about the ref's name though!

the ref was from Belgium in 1930

Lol, in that game the fans were strip searched for guns before being let in the stadium, they found quite a few as well. Also when Argentina lost, the Uraguyan embassy in Buenos Aries was stoned continuously the next day for over 8 hours, even the police joined in :eek:.

As for the ref's name though, I can get it from my 'The Complete Book of the World Cup" (it lists every match including line-ips, attendance, referees, match summaries, quotes, god damn everything :D), but that would be cheating. :D

It is indeed the final of 1930, and yes, it was a belgian referee, who btw, was also the referee of another WC final if I'm not mistaken.

Sh!t!! I want that too! I used to post in another site dedicated to the WC, where they had that too (well, only the line-ups, attendances and goal-scorers), and I thought of saving those pages to a CD or something, but that site is no longer available. :cry:
FIFA's site has that too, I think, but it's each link only leads you to one match. What you have seems to be exactly what I'm after.


[Edit: Oh ****!!! It turns out that the cathedral I was talking about earlier is in Turin after all. It's the cathedral of Superga. Sorry about that.]

Another WC question, hopefully a little harder. Get your book out mordheim! :lol: (I want a copy too!)

Only one team, to date, has missed out on WC qualification despite conceding no goals in their qualifying group. Which team?

It was Belgium in the 70s. Either 74 or 78, they played against Holland in both qualifications. I say 74.
If I'm right, my my next question is my previous one, as I still didn't read the referee's name in any post. Sorry about that zenga.

Oh, and if I'm wrong someone can say 78, as I'm pretty sure about this and then kindly ask my previous question again.

Oops! :o I forgot about the referee part of the question.

Just as well you got that one quick. It was indeed Belgium in the '74 qualifying rounds. :goodjob:

I think you need to scrap the question MCdread, I don't think anyone's going to get it. :D

Originally posted by mordhiem

I think I got closed by saying the guy was belgian

... or you can all look for it in the internet just for this time. Before mordhiem goes to his book... ;)

:lol: not internet but my book: Langenus

Everyone has a book these days... All I have are world cup preview magazines. :cry:

Next question is yours. :)

:lol: well, it's not really a book, but some sort of collection of big cards with info on them. That collection ain't complete, but still offers a lot of info.

What was going on with the referee in the '74 World Cup Final between Holland and Germany?

(did you know he admitted the penalty given to Germany was not a penalty? :confused: )

Yeah - and the ball didnt really cross the line in '66.
And Maradona handled the ball
And ...

We've all got a hard luck story.

Read my sig. Sometime you win. Sometimes you lose. (Unless you're Dutch when this is only half true) ;)

Hey willem, perhaps you should clear out your question a little bit. I mean, I speak for my self, but I'm having problems in determining what exactly are you asking.

:o sorry, I'll just ask another question. I just wanted to hear the guy was seriously injured and actually wasn't fit enough to lead such a game.

What was Bergkamp's squad number at the WC '98?

a. 10
b. 9
c. 8
d. 14

Ok - guessing time - can I have 4 goes?
No - ok - 10

d)14 ?

c) 8

:lol: MrPresident is right

Yes! He shoots he scores! Cashback! and so on.

My Question;

Which two teams contested the first World Cup final? Who won? And what was the score?

Uruguay and Argentina. Uruguay won 4-2.

correct a mundo

hehe, that was an easy one. MCdread?

In the first european championship, one team refused to play against another one for political reasons. Which team was it? Name the opponent too.

Franco's Spain refused to play against the Soviet Union.
The USSR later won the title.

That's it. You're next Hitro.:)

Speaking of the European Championships:

Despite the English stereotype about penalty shootouts Germany is the only team (so far) to have lost a Euro final on penalties. Who missed the decisive penalty and when?

Hmm - I think it was aganst Czechoslovakia. I remember the winning pen was a slow chip straight down the middle while the keeper dived away. First time I'd ever seen that done - and to do it to win the final - just breathtaking.

Who missed the decisive penalty - no idea

Maybe Jurgen Klinsmann ?

Czechslovakia in 1972!! Oh, that wasn't the question...

Franz Bekenbaur maybe? Gerd Moller? Those are the only two German players I know from that era.

Originally posted by col

Maybe Jurgen Klinsmann ?

lol. The final was in 1976 against Czechoslovakia, I don't think the twelve year old Klinsmann was already fit for the national team. :p :D

The player who missed it was Uli Höness. The one who scored the goal you described was Panenka. In recent years several players have tried to do the same. Djalminha for example does it often.

Hehe - 12 year old - well I said I had no idea. Great winning pen though wasnt it?

it's known as the Panenka-penalty, so no doubt it was a great one ;) I don't shoot em like that myself though, don't have the skills.

Hmm... You once asked a question about that in the older thread, didn't you?

In which world cup did Mathias Sindelar play, and for wich team? What was his tragic fate?

mm - tragic fate?

Was he the player from Columbia who missed a pen then was shot outside a shop in his home town a few months later by an outraged fan?

No, far from that. It was much before. The one you talk was Escobar and it was for an own goal, although some think that it goes a little deeper than that, and that he had connections with the drug cartels.

Escobar - of course it was - and it was indeed an own goal.
Funny how memory plays tricks sometimes :blush:

ok -thats me ruled out of this question then. :rolleyes:

Oh no, please! You can still try some lucky shots.;) :p

Lucky shots eh? :)

1974, East Germany, died after slipping in the team bath after the game against W. Germany. :p

And I was just about to guess that too ;)

Originally posted by mordhiem

1974, East Germany, died after slipping in the team bath after the game against W. Germany. :p

Ah, a nice effort. Closer than col's previous. That's not the right answer, but there's something about Germany in the question's answer.

Car crash related?

He was part of the Austrian wunderteam, and I'm guessing you mean the World Cup of 1934 where he played for Austria (cuz there was no Austria in '38, and the Austrian wunderteam goes from '31 to '34 or something....my grandpa was a fan ;)).... Anyway, he was murdered.

and: matthias is with double t ;)

I'll give you the answer willem. In 1938 he refused to play for the german team, the only austrian that did so, which of course wasn't something that you could get aways easily from. Then he was acused of being jewish and died soon after. Officially he commited suicide, but it's a common belief that he was murdered by the nazis. You're up willwm, and thanks for the correction. :goodjob:

oops, forgot about this. Eeuhm.....ok here goes a question I asked about a year ago already:

Name one not-German team that won the German Cup Final and in what year was that?

Oooohhhh, tough. Hmmm, no idea. :D

Ajax? :D

Mm - maybe during the Anschluss. How about Rapid Vienna in 1938.

ok - so its my usual wild guess when I have no idea.

Good guess. Impressive, to be precise. :goodjob:

But unfortunately also too fast. :( ;)

indeed, correct :) They beat FSV Frankfurt 3-1. Another good answer would've been 1. FC Wien in 1943 when they beat Hamburg 3-2

You mean I was right ??????????????

hehe

yupz, your question (I just double checked to make sure it wasn't Austria Wien :p)

hehe - just pulled that one out of thin air.

Let me see - back to the English footoe league

Why is Hull City unique among all the teams in the English premiership and football league?

its the only team in hull :D

Ooh, I can sort of think of two things
Most likely, aren't they the only city never to have had a team in the top flight football league?
or
something to do with pylons? I remember this from somewhere, wish I knew what it was again. They don't have floodlights, or rather they do, but they are on pylons. Something like that?

@suppers - not quite the answer I'm looking for
@polymath nope and nope

Are they amateurs? Or Welsh? Or even both? ;)

Is it something to do with the fact that the Rugby team in Hull are called Hull Football Club?

Are they the only team called 'City' that isn't actualy in a city? I mean, Hull isn't a city is it?

Nope Nope and Hull is indeed a city so nope.

hehe - drove me mad when I first came across this one.

seems to me no one knows, so maybe you should post a new question?

ok - maybe a hint - the answer is yo be found in the letters of the team

Ok - since no-one has bitten on this one.
Tough when you cant look them up on the net.

Hull City is the only team in the premiership and the football league that you cant shade any of the letters in for.

(Runs for the hills.)

:p

...with Polymath in hot pursuit, waving a carpet beater...

Ok - so I'm better at answering questions than setting them.
New question anyone?

How many goals did Pelé in his whole careerer ?

In how many clubs did Michel PLATINI play ?
Which one ?

Pele scored 1200-ish goals at all levels in his proffesional career. I think :p.

Originally posted by mordhiem

That was about to be my answer too.
About the other Srely Saint-Etienne and Juventus. I don't remember the club he played before... Nancy?

Yes, that's right :
the 3 clubs of PLATINI were :
AS Nancy-Lorraine (1976-1979)
AS Saint-Etienne (1979-1982)
Juventus de Turin (Italie, 1982-1987)

The King Pelé
He realized a fantastic total of :
1281 goals in 1363 matches (av. = 0.93 !!)

So, do I have the honours for the next question, or does mordhiem's initial effort was enough?

if anyone of you give a correct answer, you can both ask for a new question, no ?

It works this way: you ask a question and the first person that answers it correctly asks the next one and so on. In this case, since col gave away his right to ask the next question, you were able to do so. What I ask is this: do you give the question to me (as I answered your second question) or to mordhiem (who gave a good response to the first)?
I think you can give it to mordhiem. "1200-ish" goals is close enough for me, since you immediatly gave the right number. You should have waited and enjoyed our struggle to get the exct number right. At least that's what I would do... :D :p

Why, so kind MCD :D Here's my question then:

Who are the current domestic cup holders in England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Holland and Spain?

In France, it was Lorient


MCdread, as you answered correctly, you have a right of asking one question, too ??

No the plan is to basically just ask one question at a time to avoid confusion.

Arsenal, Lorient, Shalke 04, Juventus, Sporting Lisboa, Ajax, Deportivo

:o :lol: so it's MCDreads turn...

No, if your answer is correct, is your turn. I gave any "questioning rights" I had to mordhiem in the previous round.

My question is 'Whose go is it?' Was William of Orange's go right?

Yep it should be Willem but if anyone has a question that they are bursting to ask then they can jump in :)

Ok, Willem, you got it. I need to think of more challenging questions... :D

pffff...:lol: it's so hard to think of a question these days.

Wenn was Sao Paulo's last Wolrd Cup win and against who?

do you mean : "international cup" ?

wasn't it in 1993, wins 3-2 against Milan AC ?

that's the cup i meant allright, but nope...

I'm sorry to go against you, but I found it here :
(in french)
http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/HIST_CI.html
http://archive.soccerage.com/s/fr/09/18908.html

the goals were from : Pahlinha, Toninho Cerezo and Luis Antonio Correa da Costa Muller

(in brasilian) but I saw it's also available in english
http://www.spfc.com.br/1.asp?PLC_map_001_c=03.01.05

Could you show me that I'm wrong...?

Sure.
BTW, I also think you are correct in the answer. What's up willem?

hmmm, then my mind's playing tricks, I thought in '94 against Barcelona...

The 2-1 victory of SPFC against Barcelona was in 1992

yes, cuz in '94 there was no Barca in the final of the Championsleague ;) easy, so then it's indeed your question, Elsaak. Sorry for the misunderstanding ;)

Am I allowed ask a question about an other sport ?
Tennis ?
Is there anybody that can tell me the origine of the way of scoring : 15, 30, 40, advantage and game ?

Only about futebol : who were the best scorers in 2001-2002 in France, Italy and England ? (as a clue, I am French !!!)

Originally posted by willemvanoranje

Yes, there was. Milan won in 1994 precisely against Barça. 4-0 was the result. :p :lol:

@Elsaak: no, this is the Cumulative Football Quiz. For the Cumulative Sports Quiz check the older threads in the Sports Forum, but that one died many months ago.
About the question, the answer is:
France: Cissé tied with Pauleta ;)
Italy: David Trezeguet
England: Thierry Henry

well, I meant a winning Barca (I know about that thingy, but this computer doesn't make that).....free kick, Ronald Koeman :)

Ok, Elsaak has posted in the sports forum, but seems to have forgoten of this thread. I believe my answer is correct, so I'lll ask a question to go ahead with this:

The first European Cup took place in 1955/56, but before that there were already some regional club competitions, that are the "ancestors" of the UEFA cups. One of those was the Mitropa Cup in Central Europe. Another one was the Latin Cup. The Latin Cup was played by the champions of Italy, France, Spain and Italy and started some years after the WWII. Which two temas played the first Latin Cup final and who won?

Barcelona won the first one in '48 or '49 or something, just before the fifties, but I don't know against who. I'm guessing a Portuguese team though ;) Benfica?

You have the winner right, but not the runner-up. Nice job anyway.

I'm going along with willemvanoranje's Portugal idea, sounds like a nasty trick question, and I see MCDread is in Lisbon, so I'm saying:
Sporting Lisbon (runners up)
So am I Sherlock Holmes, or Dr Watson?

That is indeed the right answer, but I'm not sure that qualifies you as Sherlock Holmes. ;)
BTW, I may be in Lisbon, but but FC Porto is the team that rocks!!! GO PORTO!!

Next question then. :)

Ha ha ha it's right! Definite Dr Watson logic, tho.
Willem made a ;) smiley, which made me think you must have a very obvious thing for portuguese football. And then I saw where you were in your sig. Aren't they called 'Sporting Club Football' or something in Portugal?

Willem's go, he got the winner.

how many times didi Pierre van Hooijdonk score in last season's UEFA-Cup final? How? and against who?

Can't remember so guess time :)

Once, free kick, B Dortmund.

hehe, incomplete :p

Pierre van Hooijdonk scored 2 goals
1 freekick
1 penality
against Jens Lehmann

yupz, although B Dortmund would've been right as well :p

Oh well my memory is incomplete...

:lol: doesn't matter, SS turn ;)

Alright my Q :D

Which player in the English premiership (from 92/92 season) has played the most games ?

Hmmm... Alan Shearer?

No idea, there are a lot of possibilities I think.

exactly so its guess time :)

hmmm, a lot of (old) Arsenal-players are on my list, like Seaman, Adams, Dixon, but also Giggs is on my mind. I try Winterburn though.

No to both of them

Could we have a clue because there are alot of players out there...

Southgate?

Another shot in the dark...

Gary Speed

Dell got it Garry speed it is :cool:

you'r Q ?

:wallbash: it can't be, it can't be, it can't be :wallbash:

:lol:

Willem gave me the idea and then told me to post it :D

Now a question...

Name all the teams in the English top 5 divisions that have an X in their name. There should be 5 :)

Wrexham, Halifax (Town?), Exeter

that's all I know

There are two more :) I had actually forgotten about Wrexham

Oxford United and Crewe Alexandria are the other two. ;)

Well done :) your turn...

Before joining Manchester Utd, for which three Italian teams did Juan Sebastian Veron play?

aaargh, of course, and I know em both, that's the stupid thing about it....it's like naming all 50 states of america, you always forget one...:p

He played for Parma and Lazio. And I think his first club in Italy was Sampdoria.

Originally posted by willemvanoranje

I probably wouldn't have got Halifax. Them's the breaks..:)


MCdread - right first time! Your go. :goodjob:

What's the popular name for the best goalscorer of a competition in Spain?

El Pichichi !

The best one (6 times) was ...?

Hugo Sanchez?

No, I think he won "only" five times...
84, 86, 87, 88 and 90

How about Di Stefano?

54, 56, 57, 58, 59 = 5 times............

Was it before or after the 60s?

45,46,47,50,51,53

That's more than I asked for. ;)
With that information I think it can only be Zarra.

Telmo Zarra (Athletic). Basta pronunciar su nombre para relacionarlo con la palabra gol....


It's your turn.

What was the name of the stadium in the 1934 WC final? Whatis its present name? And what sport do they mostly play there nowadays?

It was the "Nazionale del PNF", in Roma

Nowadays, isn't it named : Lo Stadio Olimpico (of the Lazio ?) ?


http://www.stadiumguide.com/

It was indeed the PNF (Fascist Party) Stadium, but that's not the Olympic Stadium, where Roma and Lazio play. That one was built only for the Olympic Games in 1960, I think.

Come on fellows! Don't be shy. At least try to guess number three. It's not that difficult.

is the sport Rugby

Yes, the sport is rugby. It is the Italy's national rugby stadium nowadays, and it is where they play their 6 nations matches. Do you know how is it called?;)

Stadio Flaminio

Yes, that's it. You can have the next shot Elsaak.

This is a question that i DON'T know the answer !!!!

Who was or is the youngest scorer in Champion's league (or C1) ?

(If nobody know the answer in 24 hours, questions would be open.....)

I don't know the answer either! :lol: An educated guess, maybe Raul?

Wasn't the Olimpico built in 1990?

Originally posted by Rhye

The Dell' Alpi (sp?) in Turin was built in 1990.

Goddamm, how do we know now who gets the right question?...

I saw Raul scored 6 times in 1996-96, aged of nearly 19.

Any one else could have score before ?

Gentlemen, I think that nobody found the answer....
I'm sorry to have perturbate the good "link" between the questions and answers.

So now, the Questions are open !

If Q's are open :D


When was the first Fa Cup Final Replay? who were the teams? and were was the replay played?

The only replay I'd heard of was the 1970 final between Chelsea and Leeds at Maine Road, Chelsea winning 2-1. Unfortunately, it was nearly a hundred years after the first replayed final (I had a look to check). It was the first replayed Wembley final though and the first in almost 60 years.

Tough question. Where's the FA Cup experts when you need them? ;)

yea ur right Zenga ur Q

What got everyone confused in the 1986 World Cup finals 2nd round match between Paraguay and England? (The match before Maradonna became a Scottish national hero :p )

Nobody want to guess? Maybe the question is a little vague, I'll wait another day or two and see if anyone gets it.

Hint: the answer to this question is an alternative correct answer to one of col's previous questions (a few pages ago). :crazyeye:

England's starting XI....

[ 1] SHILTON Peter (GK)
[ 2] STEVENS Gary
[ 3] SANSOM Kenny
[ 4] HODDLE Glenn
[ 5] MARTIN Alvin
[ 6] BUTCHER Terry
[10] LINEKER Gary
[16] REID Peter
[17] STEVEN Trevor
[18] HODGE Steve
[20] BEARDSLEY Peter

Two players called Gary Stevens iwere n England squad - worng one picked??

(Maybe they got trevor steven surname as trevor on his shirt)

Close enough, col. Your question. :goodjob:

The wording of the question wasn't great but I couldn't find a better way to put it.

In this match England fielded 2 Gary Stevens' (Tottenham's Gary coming on as a sub to join Everton's Gary!) and a Trevor Steven, presumably giving John Motson palpitations with the commentary of Stevens to Stevens to Steven. Almost as confusing as the number of Brazilian's nicknamed 'Junior'! :D

I think the 2 Stevens' also played together against Morocco in the group stages, but Steven didn't. IIRC this was before the names were on the shirts.

England v Paraguay 1986 (http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/en/pf/h/pwc/mr/536.html)

that took us 11 days people :p

When it comes to english football, my knowledge quickly comes down to almost 0 (zero). :( Even more so because many of the english football related questions are about some letter and word games.

well, with this question I had no idea. I didn't know there were 2 Gary Stevens in the game.

Ok back to the world cup then

Who was man of the match in the 1994 world cup final?

(and no checking those reference books or websites)

Just as well I never asked a question on Scottish football! :lol:

I thought you may have had a chance since it was a World Cup trivia question, and also the fact that England played Portugal in the group stages of the tournament.

pfffff....Roberto Baggio? :lol:

seriously, can't remember, but I'm guessing a Brazilian, and since Taffarel saved a penalty...

Yeah, but I was only 7 in the WC and unfortunatelly I don't have any match of England'86 in my collection of world cup matches on video, although Argentina-England will be one of the top priorities when I decide to give it another boost. If any other civfanatic here collects famous WC matches I'd be willing to exchange some matches. I have all the finals since 1958 and some other important matches. ;)


About the question, if it was an italian I say Baresi.

Right match - wrong players so far.

rommario

@ss nope - (who's the avatar)

Cafu (the Avatars Avril lavigne)

Nope- oddly enough the MotM was from the losing side ....

i bet it's Paolo Maldini

He won the UEFA cup with Gothenburg - oh, A european cup, not THE European Cup - doh!

wrong wrong, you're all wrong :)

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it wasn't in 87... Oh well, here's my question.


One of the greatest athletes ever to step in a football pitch was the powerful german defender Hans-Peter Briegel, who played the 1982 WC final. However, football wasn't his first sport. Which one was it and what was his speciality/position/event?

'87 was definetly Goteborg. FC Porto won the EC I, Ajax the EC II and Goteborg the EC III. The other year was earlier then '83 I think: '83 was Anderlecht, and '84 Anderlecht lost the final against an English team.

As for the question...no idea.

:( 82 then, i guess.

He was a long jumper, as far as I know he was pretty good at it but then decided to switch to football.

The sport is indeed athletics, but he was more than just a long jumper. ;)

Was he a decathlete?

Yes, he was. :goodjob:

OK, next question...

When UEFA ran the 3 competitions a season (from 1961-99), only on one occasion did a country manage a 'clean sweep'. Name the country, the year, and the clubs who won the various cups.

1990 Juventus Uefa Cup
1990 AC Milan Champions league
1990 Sampdoria Cup winners cup

Italian clubs

No, if it's Aston Villa or Sunderland. Yes, if it's not.

Some kind of division hint would be nice, don't give the division completely away but I think we need to check whether its a non league team etc...

Crystal Palace?

Damn, I thought I had posted to say that you could ask the next question as I don't have one but CFC was slow at the time so it wasn't posted. :mad:
