Nottingham forest

Er... Suppersalmon, there ain't more clubs to guess. ;)

Wait, yes there are. I checked Valencia, cause I thought they were missing the Cup Winners Cup, but zenga and polymath were right. My source forgot about Valencia. Thanks for the correction.

:lol: I was already wondering....:p

What! :mad: This is *Really* unfair!!!!! I'm never talking to you again!!!!!

:mad: :mad: :mad:


Actually its fine and what I would have suggested.

:lol:, take your pills matt ;):p

:lol: Forgot I had posted that... :) Next question then, Darkness?

Question please ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sorry people...
I was away for a couple of days. My question then? OK here it is

Before Rosenborg began it's streak of championships, who was the last other team to win the Norwegian premier division title and in what year did they win it?


Again, sorry to keep you waiting, guys....

Lillestrøm

sounds very resolut so it's probably true

i remember seein it on Champ man but i cant remember it :mad:

Viking 1991 :D

Not sure about the year. 91 or 92.

Well he should know... I was just guessing.

Yeah, but that ø gave you a look of a savant.:p

Vraslosken :goodjob:

I copied and pasted my answer from the Norwegian football thread :lol:

OK... Geoff Hurst scored three goals for England in the 4-2 victory in the World Cup Final against West Germany in 1966. But who scored the fourth (for England)?

Well, the fourth was Geoff Hurst. :p
The other scorer for England besides Hurst was Peters.

Correct of course.:goodjob: A little too easy maybe. I know that Martin Peters was the second:D

What does GRENOLI stand for?

Cheese?

Sorry I don't have a clue...

Green oil

PIZZA! It must be :lol:

gunnar gren, gunnar nordahl and nils liedholm. the swedish trio in milan. :D

which italian clubs have stars on their logo, how many stars do they have and what do the stars stand for?

Hehe, I had already asked that qustion a few pages ago here. ;)

the answer is Milan, Juventus and Inter. Each star stands for 10 scudettos (or league titles), and Juventus is the only club having more than two, because they have won more than 20 titles, while Milan and Inter only have between 10 and 20 so far.

Oh btw, your answer is correct.

@Dell19 and Suppersalmon: what a spammer duo you are! :D :p

Speaking of shirt stars: nations that have won a wc have a star for each victory in their shirt. But which country has starsfor something else in her shirt? And what do those stars stand for?

United States? Stars representing the states.

Even if correct I seem to remember another country with the star for a different reason. Just can't remember which one! :)

No, I mean stars=a victory in some tournament other than the WC, although the country in question also has WC stars in the shirt... ;)

:D

is it senegal

I don't know. Has Senegal won a WC? :D

:lol: Italy?

No. 3 WCs, 3 stars:

http://www.anfiteatro.it/figc/figc.gif

If it's a country that's won the WC also there can't be too many to guess.

Brasil? Extra stars signifying Copa America triumphs?


On a side note, wasn't there talk of Brazil adopting 1 star = 5WCs? Or was it Real Madrid 1 star = 10 ECs?! :crazyeye:

No, it's not Brazil either. And they never gave much importance to Copa America, so they would never put a star for that. The WC is all that matters for them.

France. Two silver(?) stars for their European Championship victories (WC being a gold star). I think I might be getting warmer...

Germany? For two European Championship wins?

No, it's not France either. They have one since 1998.

http://mfff.free.fr/pic/fff.gif

I think I might be getting warmer...

Of course you are. There's just 4 more to go...:D :p

Uruguay

would make sense, but I don't know if they have stars. It's not England...Argentina?

Originally posted by Suppersalmon
Uruguay

Yeah, it's Uruguay. Now, for the second part of the question...

Originally posted by Håkon

Two? ;)

Maybe they are so proud of being the only country in the world with three "U" in it name. :)

is it the number of times they have one the copa america

again, would make sense. Lots of sense :p

Originally posted by Suppersalmon

No. Uruguay has won the Copa America 13 or 14 times. Too much stars for just one shirt. ;)

confederation cup victories

Olympic victories?

victories against Argentina?:lol:

Originally posted by willemvanoranje

Yes! :goodjob:
4 stars, 2 for victories in the the WC and 2 for victories in the Olympics.

SuperS' turn, he got the most important part :)

Olympic vic's were (I think) in 1924 and 1928

thnx willemvanoranje

Which two managers have one both the FA cup and the Scotish Fa Cup? and with which teams?

As managers or as players?

This first is obvious...

Alex Ferguson (Man U and Aberdeen)

Don't know of a second one, it must have been quite a while ago.

That was going to be my first answer but I have no idea who the second one is...

... is there a second one?!

I had a brainwave and thought of Souness who won the FA Cup with Liverpool, but he never won the Scottish Cup with Rangers. I think the answer must be pre-1970 and maybe well before that. :crazyeye:

Yeah and thats when my knowledge of football becomes completely unstuck.

yea Alex Ferguson is 1

Hint the other one is pre1960's

One of the teams he managed wouldn't be Charlton, would it? :)

no

no one knowes so it seems

shall i ask another q then

I vote for yes! :D

(But give us another clue for the name of the manager? This one's annoying me!)

one of the teams was sunderland for the clue

Remember to give the answer to the last question before asking a new one as that doesn't help... when it doesn't help me anyway.

It doesn't help me either. I assume he managed Sunderland to the cup pre-war as I'm pretty sure it wasn't the '73 manager (Bob Stokoe?). I'm stumped! :crazyeye: :goodjob:

ok since no one got it it was Jimmy Cochrane Kilmarnock and Sunderland

NEW Q

Which world cup winner has a son who plays International rugby for England ?

Cohen?

yea

Hey - I never knew Ben Cohen was the son of George Cohen. Nice one.

yea i meet George Cohen once and he was telling me the diffrences in training and stuff between rugby and football

His mum must have been a bit beefy though thinking of the difference in build between Ben (big strong) and George (small and nippy)

I can't second that, because I don't know how Mrs. Cohen looks like...

Today is the day for another UEFA Cup final. As my team (GO PORTO!!!) will play, I'm a bit excited by now already, so I can't think of a question related to any other subject. This Cup has had two different designations in its history. Since which edition is it called UEFA Cup?

Happy birthday MCdread !
:bday:

MCDread,
Do you mean the Fairs Cup?
Or since 1971-2 season it has been called the UEFA Cup?

Yeah, that's the answer I was looking for. You're next. :)

Ah - I was wondering if you'd show up around here. ;)

:bday: Happy Birthday, McDread. :beer:

And the big match toninight too!

Thank you col. :)

Well done Porto!!!!! That game got interesting in the second half!

Bad luck Celtic....you'll be back soon enough.

So, my question is:
Who has scored the most goals at one club only (name of player, name of club, and approximately, to be easier, the number of goals).

Pelé for Santos? About 900 or 1000 goals?

OK, I'll give you that....more like 1100 goals, but let's keep moving....your go.

What 3 german players got positions 1, 2 and 3 for the Ballon d'Or in 1972.

Beckenbauer, Muller, and.......?

And... :D
Hehe! I was thinking about asking who was the 3rd player other than Beckenbauer and Müller...

Uli Hoeness?

Nope.

Rudi Voller?

Er... Völler was born in 1960. 12 years old would be a very early age me thinks...

1. Franz Beckenbauer (Bayern München)
2. Gerd Müller (Bayern München)
3. Günter Netzer (Borussia Mönchengladbach)

Yeah, Günter Netzer was the man. He's one of my favourite players of the past.

Darkness has the next one, as he guessed most of it.

I knew all of it :D

EDIT: Yeah, sorry MCDread, if that is the resoning then you should have given him the question when he guessed most of it. :rolleyes: I think you'll have to agree that I've got the next turn. :goodjob:

9 European cities have fielded two representatives in the European Cup semi-Finals. What were the cities? Name at least 7.

(I heard this on a quiz once, saying that there were five, but I found another two on my own research and then another two :eek: )

If you go back a few pages in this thread you'll see that's how we normally do things over here...

Well, that's stupid. I'm the only one who got the question correct. There is one question and one answer. I got it first, therefore, it's my turn. I don't know what you did a few pages ago, and I don't know what you mean by "normally", but you didn't give him the question when he got, but you gave him it when I got it :confused: How exactly does that work?

I ain't budging from this, it's my question.

Qu. 9 European cities have fielded two representatives in the European Cup semi-Finals. What were they? Name at least 7.

(I heard this on a quiz once, saying that there were five, but I found another two on my own research
and then found another 2 :eek: )

calgacus, I think there are 8 cities. I was going to ask that question at some point but haven't got a question right for a while! :D

Well, a few months ago I found only seven. Of course, it's a strong possiblity that there are one or two more. But, you'll get the question correct if you name 7. :D


EDIT: I've checked. There were 9 cities. :cringe:

@MCdread: If Calgacus so desperately wants to ask the next question, let him have it.... :rolleyes:
I don't know any good ones at the moment anyway... ;)

Madrid, London, Milan, Moscow, Manchester, Munich, Lisbon.

I'm not sure if man City ever reached the semis.
What about Glasgow. Celtic obvioulsy won it. I think Rangers have reached the semis.

Are we talking what used to be the Champions Cup or all the European Cups? Man City won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1968.

European Champions Cup/ League only.

Less than half of Håkon's answers are correct.

Machester City have never got to the semi-finals of the European Cup. I'll also help you out by telling you that no English city has fielded two teams in the ECC semi-finals.

English ;)

Madrid, Munich, Glasgow, Milan, Rome, Lisbon, Moscow, Amsterdam, Turin.

col, 3 of your cities are correct, 6 aren't.

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Turin, Belgrad, Budapest, Bucarest, Zagreb, Rome.

EDIT: 6 (not 5) correct MCDread.

I'll give another clue, Rome is not one of the cities.

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Turin, Belgrad, Paris, Munich, Budapest, Hamburg

5 correct Dell19.

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Turin, Bucarest, Barcelona, Napoli, Lyons, Stutgart

City listing time...

4 again. BTW, I should tell you that Turin is not a correct answer.

Madrid, Millan, Glasgow, Budapest, Hamberg, Rome, Lisbon, Berlin, Stockholm

4 correct.

It's OK for the first half, but declines thereafter ;)

BTW, this thread is gigantic. Does the 300-post rule not apply on the Sports Talk forum?

Some thoughts

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Belgrad, Budapest (These are correct I think...)

So wrong answers would be:
Turin, Barcelona, Napoli, Lyons, Stutgart, Hamberg, Rome, Lisbon, Berlin, Stockholm, Bucarest, Zagreb, Rome,

This was Col's 4 answer... where he only mentioned 3 of the five at the top so he must have found a sixth. Its not Rome or Turin, probably not Lisbon so Moscow could be correct.
Madrid, Munich, Glasgow, Milan, Rome, Lisbon, Moscow, Amsterdam, Turin.

My answer:

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Belgrad, Budapest, Moscow, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Prague

6 of your cities are good. One of the "wrong" answers is correct
(that's probably my fault, I say MCdread had 5, when I should have said 6)

Originally posted by Dell19

My answer:

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Belgrad, Budapest, Moscow, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Prague

I can tell you for sure that Warsaw is wrong.
Only one team from that city has ever played in CL: Legia Warsaw, and they only got to quarter finals in 95/96 (not sure about the year).

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Belgrad, Budapest, Belgrad, Zagreb, Moscow, Copenhagen,Prague

You said Belgrade twice, so, it's still 6.

Madrid, Milan, Moscow, Glasgow, Belgrad, Budapest and Stockholm....

only 5 Darkness :(

Madrid, Milan, Belgrade, Bucharest, Moscow, Glasgow, Rome, Vienna, Athens

6 cities Håkon.

9 cities have done it, but the first to give seven in a list of 9 (max.)wins.

PS, I've corrected some careless responses I gave, and it is now possible to work out the answer. ;)

Madrid, Milan, Bucarest, Glasgow, Moscow, Belgrade, Zagreb...

Darkness, that's 5.

You can submit up to 9 cities; if 7 are correct, you win.

BTW, 8 of the 9 have already been named. Only one hasn't, and it is probably unguessable anyway. ;)

Madrid, Milan, Bucharest, Moscow, Belgrade, Rome, Budapest, Amsterdam, Brussels

5 only Håkon :(

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Bucharest, Vienna, Berlin, Porto

5 only Vraslosken.

You should have listed 9 cities, you'd be more likely to get it that way :).

Madrid, Milan, Glasgow, Bucharest, Vienna, Moscow, Budapest, Belgrade

Madrid, Belgrade, Vienna, Berlin, Milan, Glasgow, Athens, Istanbul, Paris

I believe you willemvanoranje, thousands wouldn't :mischief:

:lol: well, it doesn't matter anyway. If you go back this thread through all 45 pages you will find a question where you have to name all Scottish clubs that made it to the semi-finals of the EC I. The answer was I think Celtic, Rangers, Dundee UTD, Dundee and Hibernians. That's why I remembered...

Ahh, OK :goodjob:
I did say I believed you though ;)

I know, it was just to convince the others ;)

That was a GREAT question though. :goodjob:
