FB QUIZ
Prelims 15 Questions 17 Points Starred: 1, 8, 10, 12, 15
*1 This question is a classic pub quiz question in England: because it’s not what it seems. As the question goes, “Sunderland did it in 1979, but Arsenal won the FA cup. Villa did it in 1981, but Tottenham ended up winning the FA cup. Who did it in 1980?” Funda, or answer the question.
2. (Give Funda)
3 The members of the X national team were threatened with death by a certain Y if they lost a match against Hungary, in a telegram sent before the match. In one of the most famous quotes in football history, after the X defeated Hungary 4-2, Hungarian goalkeeper Antal Szabó said, “I may have let in four goals, but at least I saved their lives.” Give X, the country, and Y, the person (surname). Bonus point: Also give this match, along with the year.
4 Who’s the first and only goalkeeper so far to win the Golden Ball (award for best player) at the World Cup?
5 This player had visited the Nou Camp as a part of X, and recounted the harrowing night, where Neymar scored a hattrick. His X side were beaten 6-1, by a Barcelona team who were led from the front by Neymar. He told The Mail: "I saw some videos, but if you are losing 6-1, as a defender, you can't say you had a good game. "But the good thing for me personally was I took a lot of experience from that night and that helped me, obviously.“ Who is this, and what’s X?
6 This prolific player left the EPL at the age of 33 in a fitting way, after having a crucial contribution in his team winning the league. He went back to his boyhood club, and took up a role there as player- manager. However, he was fired as manager just a few weeks after he joined, due to the club winning no matches at all. Who? Bonus fact: He recently missed his own testimonial match through injury.

*8 This team, in preparation for a few friendlies, played the Dallas FC U-15 Boys team. However, even though they’re considered the world’s best, they ended up losing embarrassingly, with a final score line of 5-2. Which famous team?
9 This team were recently dissolved due to being bankrupt, and will now restart from the fourth division in their country. Which team? Pic on next slide.
*10 Sergio Batista (1986) and X (2006) are apparently the only 2 players to have won the World Cup while sporting a full beard. A “full beard” so a trimmed one wouldn’t count. Who’s X, who fits the personality of a bearded man.
11 Though it seems a bit vague at first, football suffers from a “papal curse”. While this curse looks insignificant at first glance, some great upsets in world football are attributed to this. Hence, after something happened on 13th March 2013, it was a joke in media that Messi’s fate was sealed. What’s this curse?
*12 (33179) X is a middle major belt asteroid discovered on 29 March 1998 by British astronomer Ian P. Griffin at the Brevard Community College observatory in Cocoa, Florida. X? Pic on next slide.

14 The late X once did a study on 45 matches that England played at the World Cup between 1966 to 2010, and came to numerous interesting conclusions: a) they should wear red kits to intimidate their opponents, b) they should play a 4-3-3, and c) a European referee would increase their chances of winning, as “European referees are more sympathetic to the English game and less sympathetic to ballerinas like Suarez”. Who?
*15 This team has one of the best competitive match records against FC Barcelona, enjoying a H2H of 4-0 against the Spanish giants. Though fans of this team will proudly tell you of this record, they might fail to mention the 2008 friendly where they were trounced 5-1 by Barca, with Messi coming off the bench to net 3. This was not Barca’s first win against them though; in 2007, Thierry Henry (making his debut, btw) scored in the 90th minute off a rebound from his own penalty, to win 1-0. After the match, Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard said “It was more than a friendly”. Which team, who famously quote “played four, won four”.

*1 This question is a classic pub quiz question in England: because its not what it seems. As the question goes, “Sunderland did it in 1979, but Arsenal won the FA cup. Villa did it in 1981, but Tottenham ended up winning the FA cup. Who did it in 1980?” Funda, or answer the question.
The answer isn’t another team as you may expect, but is in fact ‘Trevor Brooking’. For Brooking scored the winning goal in the 1980 FA Cup Final for West Ham, much like Alan Sunderland did for Arsenal in 1979 and Ricky Villa did for Tottenham in 1981.

Selva is also the nation's all time top goalscorer, with 8 goals (in 64 appearances). Manuel Marani is the only other man to score on more than one occasion for X, with 2 goals (34 appearances). What unfortunate team?
San Marino
5 X nearly signed Zinedane Zidane, but it didn't go through because they felt that Tim Sherwood was the better option. They then missed out on Robert Lewandowski because an ash cloud delayed his flight, and he signed for Dortmund instead. Which unlucky English Club, part of Premier League lore?
Blackburn Rovers
6 X and Y were the first players born under reunified Germany to play for the national team (they were both subbed on at the same time in a friendly against Sweden in 2010). Y assisted X to score the goal that won Germany's first World Cup since reunification. The dynamic duo?

1 If I had to choose between dribbling past 5 players and scoring from 40 yards out at Anfield, and shagging Miss World, I think it would’ve been a tough choice. Thankfully, I’ve done both.
2 If I had the wife that Figo does, I would always stay at home.
3 When you buy me, you are buying a Ferrari.
4 Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes, and at the end, the Germans win.
5 X on Andrea Pirlo: “You see Pirlo, honestly he's a son of a bitch. One day I left my phone on the table and he sent a text to AC Milan's vice- president offering him my sister."
6 I used to love playing at Anfield, 90 minutes worth of insults about my appearance, mainly from blokes who looked like the extras off Planet of the Apes. I remember one game, a chubby little lad shouted “Oi Gary, my Dad says you’re a wanker!”. I turned round and said “Yeah? I’ve got 8 Premier League medals, what’ve you got except diabetes? You fat little twat”. He was in floods of tears, that’s what the rivalry is all about. Good natured ribbing.
