Wrong answer - they have managed to qualify once. (Hint: Netherlands was defeated in the final that year)

Well, Haiti did qualify in 1934! But maybe you are talking about 1974.

1974 is right, willemvanoranje. Next question is your.

Ok. Who was the coach that won the European Championships in 1988 with Holland, and what was the result of the final.

They beat Russia (all right, the USSR) 2-0 in the final and were coached by Rinus Michels. Gullit and Van Basten got the goals.

Oops! You're right CornMaster! I didn't see it was June, not July. And what do you mean by safeties? The first goal was a header by Gullit, the second a very beatiful miraculous legendary goal, was scored by Van Basten. Russia missed a penalty as well.

I was talking about American / Canadian Football. When you tackle the quarterback in his endzone the you get 1 point. And it's called a safety. I was trying to be funny. But if you don't know the rules.....that makes it sound dumb.

Oh well.........

It's just you not understanding nor knowing football (soccer) and me not understanding CFL and NFL.

No...no...no....I understand soccer. I WAS TRYING TO BE FUNNY!!! I was using a football term to justify the soccer score like most Americans would.

You know.....you really sucked the fun out of my comment!!!!

------------------

Damn, you were too quick willem - I wanted to edit my question to ask for all the teams in Europe that play in their countries' national stadia, but couldn't find info for lots in the East of Europe. Never mind. I don't know the answer to your's though - I'll probably remember it in bed - that's usually what happens and it's really annoying

.

[duke o' york]

I looked the answer up, so I know it, but I'll wait until I leave work (about 3h 15 minutes time) before posting to give someone who realy knows the answer a chance. If no-one else come along then I'll also prepare a question to post but I won't be here over the weekend so if my question's answered really quickly just ask another without waiting for me.

[willemvanoranje]

You can post it now if you wish.

[duke o' york]

Sorry about this, but I got bored and no-one else had even guessed so:
Indonesia played in Paris at the 1938 World Cup as the Dutch East Indies (don't know the name in Dutch) and erm, didn't win the title.

Right:
St Etienne are the most successful French football team:
(a) what is the name of their ground,
(b) what colours is their away strip, and
(c) how many times have they won the French Championship?

Good luck everyone - I'll see you on Monday.

------------------

[willemvanoranje]

That's right Duke. And Indonesia was called 'Nederlands Indie', translated that is 'Dutch India'.
