Okay hmmm which team is top of the premiership? Okay no thats a little too easy :D

Okay who did Grantham play on Saturday and what was the score. This question is a little unfair so I might change it if I think of a proper question.

Dell19

Yep the division below the conference. Okay new question, who won the English second division playoffs last season?

I'll leave the other question open, just in case someone knows the answer.

MCdread,
even if America (both north, south and CENTRAL) would be better, you're right ; it's your turn !

No, it's not a stadium nor a part of a stadium. Brazil's main stadium is Maracanã, but judging from the similarity of both words, you can start by that.;)

I guess that's good. It is what they (uruguayans) called to what happened in the match: the unexpected victory, the shock that took over 200000 spectators, all crying for hours without even abandoning the stadium. Everything had a sense of irreality (?). It was a maracanazzo, like the uruguayans said.

While we're waiting for the next question, here's one I came across last weekend.

Internet research IS allowed otherwise you've no chance.


Which team conceded the first penalty in professional football?

polymath
Mar 31, 2003, 08:51 AM
Aston Villa?

Wolverhampton Wanderers :) Might be wrong because of the professional bit but apparently it was scored against Accrington Stanley.

What a great claim to fame :)

In the last 5 seasons which team has been in these divisions in this order:

Should be very very very easy ;)

Just a wild guess but would it be Grantham?

You have a shoe company as well.

Dell19
Apr 01, 2003, 09:46 AM
Yep its the same company as they sponsor the central divisions. Accrington Stanley are a non league team who used to be a professional team a long time ago. I believe the club had to close and then was reformed later on.

Btw Grantham is the correct answer!

Following on from that question...

Name each of the clubs from the countries that have been European Cup winners.

Which club has played the most CL finals after Real Madrid?

AC Milan (8, I think).

willemvanoranje

yupz, think so too. Bayern has (4 out of) 7, Ajax (4 out of) 6 and Benfica (2 out of) 6. Real is #1 of course with (9 out of) 11.

MCdread
Apr 05, 2003, 06:24 AM
Actually, Benfica has 7 finals and Real Madrid 12.

Ok, for my next question, we'll try something different. This may look hard at first, but all you need to do is watch the details of the picture and you'll get it.

Which team was playing home in this picture? ;)

willemvanoranje

hehe...ah well, it's hard remembering everything from top of the head. I should've written all years down or something, or at least checked ;) As for the pic.... Paris St. Germain? (<--- no clue).

It should be a southern country, or actually catholic country. See the Cathedral? :p FC Koeln is a guess too (in a not-Catholic country). Anyway, I'm not good at guessing churches.

In WA threads there used to be such a rule. Don't see the point in threads like this.

For my next question follow the link I will provide in this post. It leads to my younger brother's page. Don't take care of what he has there, he's just learning how to build a webpage since last week. In the bottom of the page there will be a video showing (after two pictures and some text lines). If you only have windows media player it should load automaticly. I have real one player and something weird appears, but if you click with the right button and choose play with whatever you have it should work fine.

The question is: Who is the player performing this (http://mega.ist.utl.pt/~tacm/) superb trick?

Please, tell me if you can't watch the video and I'll send to you by email. I don't post it here because it's over 100kb.

No, the interview is something else he has there. It has nothing to do with the video. It's a guy that calls to a company's operator and starts complaining about one of their products. It's really funny, but you had to understand portuguese for that.

So, you're having no problems with the video part, right?

willemvanoranje

Não é o Gilberto Silva (It's not Gilberto Silva). It's a player that doesn't play in Brazil anymore, but it's quite well known for these kind of plays. Btw, we don't say meia in Portugal, but rather médio. ;)

El Hadji Ousseynou DIOUF is actually playing in Liverpool ; he come from Lens (2001-2002) ; even if he is the best scorer during the qualif (9/14 gaols !), he didn't score during the WC02

Papa Bouba DIOP was the first scorer ; he scores 3 times. He actually plays in Lens.

Yep, that was the man indeed. I once wrote an article for a now dead football site dedicated to the WC, called Resenbrink and Kempes, which was sort of a what if Resenbrink had scored. And I debated what would be the status of both players right at present. Remember that if Resenbrink had scored, he would be the topgoalscorer with 6 goals insted of Kempes. They would completely switch positions. ;)

Sorry, Suppersalmon. I guess I never explained it clearly enough. I'm looking for the last Englishman that have won for each of the competitions. For example, last season:

League - Arsene Wenger (Arsenal),
FA Cup - Arsene Wenger (Arsenal),
League Cup - Graeme Souness (Blackburn),

none of whom are English born!

The question is maybe better read

For each of the above competitions, name the last Englishman to manage the victors (with club, year).
