THE WRITTEN ROUND ROUND 1
RULES This is a written round There will be 6 questions Marking Scheme is +20/0
QUESTION 1 In November 2009, soccer star Henry was accused of cheating during the World Cup Finals. The same month, Woods's meteoric golf career lost serious momentum when he injured his knee and later got bad press from losing his temper at a tournament and that was before his messy public divorce and a media frenzy of confessions from his mistresses. To complete the curse, in November 2009, an undefeated Federer was knocked from the top spot in the tennis World Tour by an underdog. What is the curse?
QUESTION 2 This match is considered as the worst testimonial match ever in the history of football. It was arranged by Team A which was the parent club of Player B. Player B has become an Icon in football and is one of the legends of the sport. As the obvious choice Barcelona wasn’t able to participate in the match, and Team A asked Team C instead. Team C which had earlier bitter moments with Team A thought that they were mistreated before the game, and thrashed Team A a ridiculous 8-0 loss. Player B later transformed Barcelona totally in club football. Identify Team A, player B & Team C?
QUESTION 3 In 1920, Sporting Clube de Braga's manager returned from a game at Highbury and changed something for his team after being inspired by what he saw. This gave rise to the club's nickname "Os Arsenalistas". What exactly did he change?
QUESTION 4 This England football coach was regarded by some as one of the best, and he managed the Dream Team of the 90s featuring then young and upcoming talents like Beckham, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand etc. However, he was sacked under bizarre circumstances - involving a fortune teller who travelled with the team. He is now a well known pundit who appears regularly on BT Sport.
QUESTION 5 Born with bowed legs, and one leg shorter than the other this iconic footballer also faced severe learning disorders with an I.Q rumored to be in the 70s. Overshadowed by perhaps the greatest footballer of all time in Pele in the same national team, X was an icon of the game in his own right. Missing the 1954 World Cup, X featured in the teams of 62 and 66 world cups, peaking in '62 in Pele's absence. Always a tragic figure, X struggled severely with alcohol addiction as well as numerous family tragedies. Identify X
QUESTION 6 Having already courted its fair share of controversy a couple of years before, thanks to Airbnb, X was publicly in the firing line again in 2016 with its Y rebrand. Y commands an engaged, passionate global fanbase, and they were not a bit happy when they heard – as it turned out, entirely incorrectly – that the much-loved Z was being axed from the new logo. The 'news' was spread far and wide across the media, and fans went ballistic. When the bold new rebrand launched, of course, Z was very much front and centre – which had been the plan all along. Identify X, Y and Z.
