Correct answer: Bayer Leverkusen- they were runners-up in the champions league in the 2001-2002 season and have finished runners-up in the Bundesliga 5 times but have never won it
There have been fewer than 20 players to have made 100 or more Champions League appearances (including qualifying games). Can you name the only player from Brazil, Italy, Germany and France respectively to make this distinguished list
Maldini played for Milan more than 20 years, Henry has been playing for Champions league teams for more than 10 years, I remember Roberto Carlos playing in champions league in 1995 already and couldn't think of anyone else but Kahn for Germany but it was a little challenging good question
I started my career as a futsal player. I went on to make over 100 appearances for my country. I played in 3 World Cups and won one. I also participated in the now-defunct World Cup of Masters and won the trophy during my only appearance. I was amongst the players named by Pelé as the 125 Greatest Living Footballers. I went on to enjoy a successful career as a commentator and coach. Who am I?
Correct answer: Rivelino aka Patada Atómica (Atomic Kick) - another legend out of Brazil. He even has an amateur football team based in Fulham named after him. They play in the Wimbledon and District League. They even play in the yellow and blue of Brazil; Rivelino's club motto is to "live the dream"
Is this the guy with the banana shot or something? I remember watching a short about a Brazilian who broke his leg when he was younger so one leg was a little longer than the other and that is why he could pull off an insane amount of curve on the ball
OO I am trying to rack my brain on this one, Brasil had an amazing team during that WC but I don't think they played all of those teams.... Hum, ah something just clicked in my head. There was an amazing Peruvian? Or Chilean player who scored an amazing free kick against Scotland and I think he may have scored against USSR as well, but for my life I couldn't tell you his name
I didn't think it was Brasil I was just saying they had a great team. I think it is someone from Peru or Chile, cheers on the question though good one. Zico scored against New Zealand in that WC with a bicycle I know that. Josimar scored against Northern Ireland, I know it isn't a Brasilian, Peruvian or Chilean
Oh it is a Brasilian? Well than I am stumped my friend haha, let me think on it though, is it Eder, he scored some crackers in that tournament. I think in my above answers I have been mixing up the 78 and 82 WC haha, this Chilean or Peruvian guy I think was in that tourney. Sorry about the mix up, but ya I will guess Eder, he has a goal in the 50 greatest goals which I think is from that tournament where someone dummies it too him, he sets himself up for a volley on his first touch and then hits it into the corner. Best guess I have
You got it Donnchadh Eder is the man! He could do anything he wanted in that tournament scoring cracking goals and I would never forget the one against the USSR it was sick!
Zico was my first hunch too. But Eder was quite often on the mark. And when I hear Brazilian star in 1982 (and there were so many stars in that wonderteam) I always think of Socrates. What a great guy.
By the way, I checked and found no player who have scored against these three teams. You may have got one of them wrong
The pub is called McBride's I believe- heard this story on a documentary that they did on McBride last year- one of the best football exports from the USA
Joe Gaetjens is the player who scored against England in 1950. He was born in Haiti and sounds like a class act. Tragically he was killed in Port-Au-Prince at age 40. The goalkeeer was Frank Borghi sounds like he made some top notch saves to get a shutout
I have just finished reading Dalglish autobiography. Bill Shankly was manager of Liverpool from 1959 to 1974. That means 15 years. So, I'd say Bill Shankly
Gotta' love the debate that this forum sparks. Good point raised by Kimaway- my question did in fact state "Premier League" and as such, the correct answer is David Moyes, who has been at the helm at Everton since March 2002.... Given the number of managerial changes since that time, he definitely deserves credit for being able to last that long
I am a manager in the EPL, I am one of the youngest players ever to obtain the UEFA 'A' license, I used to be Harry Redknapp's assistant and I have a son who plays professionally, who am I?
Prior to their move to the Allianz Arena in 2006, Bayern Munich called the Olympiastadion (Olympic Stadium) home. Such was their dominance at their old home that only ONE English team managed to beat them there. Name the team
When I started watching European football, Ipswich were big in Europe. I wonder if they did the historic damage. (At this point I am reduced to guessing. Lol)
Call it a fortunate guess, call it divine intervention.... One of you actually guessed the right answer without knowing. Kimway17 actually had the right answer among his 4 guesses.
Correct answer- Norwich City, who won there (like TheBarcaShow pointed out) during the UEFA Cup in 1992-93.
Just doing my part in trying to put Norwich back on the map.... Wish them well in their campaign this year
Name the only manager to have been a runner-up in all three major UEFA club competitions, namely Champions League, UEFA Cup (Europa) and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (which was later absorbed into the UEFA Cup)
Correct answer goes to TheBarcaShow- Arsene Wenger. He was runner-up in the European Cup winners Cup in 1992 with Monaco; finished runner-up in the UEFA Cup in 2000 with Arsenal; and was runner-up in the Champions League in 2006, again with Arsenal, against Barcelona
