Oh, sorry.

Must be a Dutch word.

I meant a game between two countries.

Additional: The year it was played.

All your first four international games were against Belgium, and you won the first one 4-1 in 1905. Your 5th ever game was against England though, and you lost 8-1! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> That won't happen again soon though. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

 

[willemvanoranje]

That's right! Next question is yours!

 

[duke o' york]

I apologise to Willem for not waiting to check if that last answer was right, but here's another question for anyone. If the last answer wasn't then please ignore this question.

Which team made their way into the Guinness Book of Records for scoring twice in 9 seconds without the other team touching the ball? (This only happened because half-time was blown after the first goal)

Might seem quite hard because it's unlikely that most of the fanatics will have heard of the team, but if it's in the Guinness Book of Records then it shouldn't be too hard to find. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> The match was on the 23rd September 2000. Good luck.<br />I'm only asking this because my mate supports this team.

[edit]: Wow - he answered while I was still typing. That's happened a couple of times to me now. Spooky. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

[willemvanoranje]

Well, I couldn't find it that easily.....

 

[duke o' york]

Well the match finished 2-0 and was played against Peterborough United in the English Second Division on the date I said above. Enough clues?

 

[willemvanoranje]

Wycombe Wanderers

I remember them from the game called Ultimate Soccer Manager. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> In the demo you can only play as Brighton & Hove Alb. !lol!

 

[duke o' york]

What's wrong with that? Brighton are a great team, having been promoted last year and doing very well in Division 2 this season. <img src="graemlins/goodwork.gif" border="0" alt="[Good Job]" /> <br />Your question then..... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

 

[willemvanoranje]

hmmmmmm. It's hard to think of a not-easy one....

Question:We all know Dutch suck at penalties: even the best shoot the ball more than often via the post or the goalie. Now the question: When did the 'penalty-saga', that is still continuing, begin?

With this I mean the 'missing important penalties in onbe straight line'

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

In the match against Italy in Euro 2000?

 

[duke o' york]

Well it can't be then, because Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scored a penalty against Andorra in Holland's 5-0 win in March.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Well, I mean in important matches. And it would be difficult to not score a penalty against that goalie. Though Holland would have most chances of missing against him.......

 

[duke o' york]

That was a qualifying game for next year's world cup so it was an important game - it wasn't a friendly or anything. If it had been a friendly then I doubt you'd have been playing Hasselbaink - you'd have used your under-17 or -19 team. But other than that I don't know.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Well I meant the Half-Final of 1992 European Championship......Denmark won 5-4 on penalties.

 

[JellyDonut]

(Sigh)

Only in America can a game similar to rugby and where the foot is not the primary means of moving the ball be called "football." Only REAL football is called "soccer" with a hard 'c' before an 'e'! If you ask me, it should be pronounced like "soxer." And how do you manage to mangle the word "association" to sound like "socker"? Only in America (Canada too).

 

[willemvanoranje]

Yeah, well......... America isn't so great afterall...........if they can't even call soccer sport football.......

 

[duke o' york]

Well, Jelly Donut, the reason it is so called is because the real name for football (as we know it) is Association Football, so called because the English Football Association was the first group to organise competitive matches in the formats we recognise today. Soccer is a nickname - an abbreviation of the name Assoc. Football. Football then was a generic term for all kinds of games with a ball - we still have the Rugby Football League and Australian Rules Football is a bizarre mix of the two.

Anyway - Willem, do you want to ask another question?

 

[willemvanoranje]

Naah. Can't think of one...

 

[MCdread]

OK, so allow me.
B]Who's the player that scored more goals in a single world cup match? How many did he score and name the opponent?[/B]

 

[MCdread]

Ooops. Read again: Who's the player that scored more goals in a single world cup match? How many did he scored and name the opponent?
