SF after Louis Van Gaal failed to qualify for the 2002 WC.

He is 5-feet-9; two inches shorter than the
average Star Wars stormtrooper.

15. The first person to earn it was Frenchman Eugène Christophe on
July 18, 1919. The colour was chosen either to reflect the off-
white newsprint of the organising newspaper, L'Auto, or because
it was an unpopular choice and therefore the only one available
with which a manufacturer could work on late notice.
Christophe disliked it, anyway, and complained that spectators
imitated a certain bird whenever he passed. It was a habit
encouraged by his nickname of Cri-Cri (from "Christophe") which
is French babytalk for a bird. Christophe remembered riders and
spectators teasing: "Ah, the X! Isn't he beautiful, the [bird]?
What are you doing, Madame Cri-Cri", adding, "And that lasted
the whole course."
Safe to say it is an extremely worthy possession now. What is
being talked about?

18. • Fanatics is a website that runs a large online retail store for
the major North American leagues, including the MLB, NFL,
NBA and NHL. Fans on the site – the jersey customization
section, to be precise - were left complaining when they
couldn’t use “X” as a name on the jersey, for it was banned by
an employee who added it to the list of banned names on the
site.
NFL, which faced the fans’ wrath on social media, said they
had nothing to do with the decision. Once news of the ban
spread, Fanatics officials decided that "X" didn't belong on the
list and subsequently removed the name three days later.

21. “The Real Deal” X vs. “Iron” Y II, billed as "The
Sound and the Fury", was the second fight in the
series, for the WBA Heavyweight Championship. X
was the champion, and Y was the No.1 contender
for the title. The buildup was tremendous, since X’s
R11-stoppage victory in the first fight was one of
the greatest upsets in boxing history.
X dominated for the first three rounds, warding off
attack and stunning Y more than once.
Give X and Y. How did the fight end?

24. Week Of Greatness is a campaign run by Foot
Locker every year, marking the release of various
new ranges, and discounted sales. However, the
advertisements are considered the most enjoyable
part of the week. In the 2013 commercial, the
theme was ‘All Is Right.’ It’s a play at restoration of
order, and just settling everything once and for all.
One of the segments feature X and Y, two former
competitors who have had a rough past. Y attempts
to reconcile with X, by bringing a certain gift “kept
in formaldehyde.” X accepts the gift, and they
finally hug it out. X and Y?

31. Two sides, _ _ _ XI and IAS XI play a 20-over game of cricket in
the first half of every year. The matches are noted to have had a
record of dissatisfied spectators.
The 2016 game saw IAS XI chasing 128 in 20 overs. The run chase
was superb till the 18th over, but things came to a standstill after
that. With four runs required to win in the last two overs, runs as
well as the efforts of the bureaucrats dried down.
MoTM of the previous four fixtures:
2016: X (65 runs)
2015: X (2 wickets)
2014: X (59 runs)
2013: X (match report unavailable)

34. Lloyd Bernard Free is a former one-time NBA All
Star who played in the league from 1975-1988.
However, he has probably known for his name
change the most.
On December 8, 1981, a day before his 28th
birthday, he legally changed his first name to X.
According to Free, "the fellas back in
Brownsville gave me the nickname "X" when I was
in junior high. I could do 360 dunks, so they just
started calling me 'all-X', because all-city and all-
county and things like that weren't good enough.
Finally they just started calling me X. I'm still the
same guy I was when I was Lloyd, though. I'll say
what I'm going to do, and then I'll go out and do it.”
Give me his changed - and current – name, which
does send out a positive message to everyone on
this planet.

38. Once Upon a Time in Shaolin... is a double album by a group X
that was limited to a single copy sold in 2015. A legal agreement
with the purchaser states it cannot be commercially exploited
until the year 2103, although it can be released for free or played
during listening parties. The Guinness Book of Records certified
the album as the most valuable album in existence.
The album was auctioned to the highest bidder in 2015, who
turned out to be the “most hated man in America”, Y.

39. There’s another interesting element to this story, as a part of the
contract between X and Y shows:
“The buying party also agrees that at any time during the
stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt
to execute one heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In
Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to
the seller. Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by
currently active members of the X and/or actor Z, with no legal
repercussions.”
With Z’s surprising inclusion, Twitter was quick to envisage this
as the heist movie we’ve all been waiting to see.
Require X, Z, and Y.

42. As one of the team members of Bubblewrap Films recalls,
“The entire brief for the music was that, here was a guy who
is searching for the ultimate chance and has still not been
lucky enough to get it. Rather than making it gimmicky and
spoof-like, we wanted to make it soulful.”
Vikas Dubey wrote the lyrics, while Salvi and Utpat searched
for the perfect singer - someone who could pull off an alaap
and a sufi tune with equal ease. From Chandigarh, Alamgir
Khan was chosen as the voice and the trio started jamming to
find a tune.
All this work was done for a campaign, which gained serious
momentum – the talk about it was much comparable to the
very thing it was made for. Memes, jokes, and other forms of
banter took over social media.

50. Questions featured in Brahman Naman

51. X, formerly known as The ‘90s Are All That is a programming block that
airs nightly on ________, a sister channel to its much more popular
(big) sibling. The block shows reruns of classic 1980s, 1990s and early-
mid 2000s children's programming, mostly shows that aired
on Y during their original runs. The block airs eight hours, running
every night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Response to X’s debut was very positive; hashtags pertaining to the
block became trending topics on Twitter and the Nielsen Ratings for
________ on the debut night increased to between eight and 60 times
the ratings ________ received in previous weeks.
The name X has an incredibly strong face-value connection to Y, as it
was one of the most identifiable logos of its time, which is a firm
representative of Y’s golden era from 1984-1996, continued further by
show Z after its debut in 2000.

54. X is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity,
often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person
narrative. The word "X" was first used in 1970 to describe an
article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularized the style. It is an
energetic writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws
its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. The
Boston Globe editor Bill Cardoso claimed that X was South Boston Irish
slang for the last man standing after an all-night drinking marathon.
Thompson and his attorney friend Oscar Acosta decided to take a road
trip, and take advantage of an assignment by Sports Illustrated to write a
250-word photograph caption on the Mint 400 motorcycle race. What
was supposed to be a short caption turned into an entire book by
Thompson, which was then adapted into a movie of the same name, in
1998. The book is said to be the best example of X.
Give X, and the book/movie. X and the movie has a more apparent
connection, so that can make it easier for you.

57. • Barstool Sports is a popular satirical sports and men's lifestyle
blog. It organized a knockout tourney in March to decide the

utter fire, were shot through by _______.

64. Amidst rumors of a last-minute replacement of X in the form of Saif Ali
Khan, Sumit Purohit, writer of Karan Anshuman's satire Bangistan
created a modified trailer of the movie featuring Y instead. Here’s his
explanation:
“We've come to terms with being dictated by Y and Pahlaj Nihalani
(chairman, CBFC), who constantly support the government's decision,
whether or not the decisions are taken by people qualified to do so. If
this is what the government wants, then my trailer is an insight into
how our films would look if they had their way.”
Some people seem to have taken this seriously, as Y’s filmography on
Wikipedia features the movie, playing the role of “X.”
X and Y, please.
