I think Crystal Palace had a player years ago that did well, but can't remember his name.

 

Gudjohnsen at Chelsea has to be up there, surely.

 

Can't think of anyone else so we'll go with two players.

 

Just one - Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson who was nominated for March 2012.

Timmy Howard of course, I think Van Der Sar years ago if memory serves, took a penalty, possibly Schmichael too at United, he must have done at some stage in his career, I remember what's his name ?, -Friedel, also at some point in time doing this feat, not sure about who else, maybe Seaman at Arsenal, that just rings a bell for some reason, haven't done too well here but at least got one answer correct. mellow.png

Yes, Peter Schmeichel (Everton 3–2 Aston Villa, 20 October 2001), Brad Friedel (Charlton Athletic 3–2 Blackburn Rovers, 21 February 2004), Paul Robinson (Tottenham Hotspur 3–1 Watford, 17 March 2007) and Tim Howard (Everton 1–2 Bolton Wanderers, 4 January 2012).

Eh, what's with the new thread? Or why close the old one down even. unsure.png

 

Not sure I understand the question even. Are you telling me in the history of the World Cup tourney since 1930,. only one player has scored an own goal and for his own side on the same day of fixture, that's a bit far fetched isn't it.

 

Unless of course it means an actual World Cup Final but I don't remember such an instance.

 

I really can't remember such a thing and there must be dozens of examples, I was thinking maybe Algeria or Kuwait or something, but I really can't think right now.

Yes, it's only ever happened once.

Test

 

I really don't know.

 

Maybe Villa Park Birmingham and Hillsborough, Sheffield but just stabs in the dark here.

 

No, they were closer to London - Brighton's Goldstone Ground and Portsmouth's Fratton Park. Nine different venues inside London were also used.

See, more than one question a day.

 

I don't know about this, I went with France initially for some reason.

 

Italy has competed in 15 men's Olympic Finals Tournaments. The United States is second with 14 and France & Brazil have competed in 12 each.

I think that the three clubs could have been The Royal Engineers, Wanderers and Nottingham Forest. But I am only guessing.

 

One out of three.

 

The Wednesday (1889-90), Stoke (1890-91) and Nottingham Forest (1891-92).

 

The Football Alliance formed the Football League 2nd Division in 1892-93.

Yesterday, actually, twice in one day by my math.

 

Like Mike said he asks one question a day on each morning that he visits the forum. It's not even a problem if he does ask more than one a day because at least its providing some enjoyment to the forums visitors - I don't see what all the fuss is about.

The very best of luck today at Wembley, lads!

 

Hopefully, we'll meet each other in May!

 

 

Friday's answer: United States (3 Gold, 1 Silver), Norway (1 Gold, 1 Bronze), Brazil (2 Silver), China (1 Silver) and Germany (3 Bronze).

No, we won't be meeting in May.. mellow.png

 

It wasn't Barmby for sure, was one of them Altidore maybe, and Garcia too I should think, the Australian. These questions are too tricky sometimes.

 

Yes, Jozy Altidore (United States) and Richard Garcia (Australia).

Got to be Venezuela hasn't it, I mean they simply are awful at soccer, and always seem to be the worst of the South American qualifiers.

 

No offense anyone reading in Caracas or anything.. unsure.png

 

Bolivia haven't won a match yet. The eight other participating teams have all won at least one match and Brazil are exempt as the 2014 Host Nation.

Which was the only club from the Fourth Flight of English Football to reach a League Cup Final?

Probably Rotherham in either 1961,1962 when it first started, but not 100 percent on that

 

QPR won in '67 when they were a third division side but I can't remember any lower league examples apart from the first answer.

 

Rochdale, who lost 4-0 on aggregate to Norwich City in Season 1961-62.

Rotherham was the year before, I knew they were in it, really thought it was them.

 

Not sure about the south american one, maybe Tevez, Mascherano, and I don't know who else actually. Oh Augero at Manchester City maybe, but not sure about him.

 

Yes, Pablo Zabaleta, Javier Mascherano and Sergio Aguero.

I'll be quick, have no idea, maybe Grampus Eight maybe, it covers Japan surely,

 

There's also a club called something red diamonds but all at sea here, could you do us a favor and make the questions a little less testing maybe.

 

Pohang Steelers of South Korea in 1997, 1998 and 2009.
