Which country has conceded the least goals per game in the world cup finals?

[NeilMcD]

Quick quiz

[Dawn_Run]

France would be up there in 98. Unless someone did better yonks ago???

[NeilMcD]

Sorry I should rephrase that , it is all World Cups added together. Not just one World Cup.

[Eirambler]

Ireland have conceded only 10 in 13 games by my reckoning. Less than 1 a game. That might do it?

[NeilMcD]

Congratulations, buy that man a pint, the clue was in the forum that I posted it in.

[Eirambler]

I'll have a pint of vodka then please.

[paul_oshea]

ya but thats only cos ireland have been in 3 world cups!!!! that wuld average out for someone like italy far better

[NeilMcD]

Ours in the lowest average I believe, even better than Italy.

[paul_oshea]

ya but how many games have italy played. do you mean a better goals to game ratio?

i still think if we had 26 games we wouldnt have conceded 20, i.e. we would have conceded more probably.

[stojkovic]

I always thought it was Wales.

Ireland 10 in 13 = 0.769 goals per game
Wales 4 in 5 = 0.80 goals per game

But you are right.

Jaysus

But we probably have the lowest goals SCORED per games aswell.

[Dawn_Run]

Ireland's is the lowest average.

Here (http://www.neilandlaure.com/worldcup/ranking.html)

Edit: They are counting penalty shootouts in this.

[NeilMcD]

That table includes penalty kicks in our goals against which is mad

[paul_oshea]

sure morocco are only one behind us. i dont think it really counts for much. we could have got a roasting if we had met brazil in a quarter final in either world cups.

we have only won 3 bleeding games!!!

[NeilMcD]

Its a quiz its not meant to count for anything, just some little bit of trivia to ask in the pub when the conversations topics run low.

[tiktok]

It actually makes us look better, because it counts penalty kicks for aswell :D
Given the number of games we've played, we're probably one of the lower scoring teams (2 in '90, 2 in '94, 6 in '02, 3 -v- Saudi, possibly the worst team ever to play in the WC :p )

[paul_oshea]

ok then:
what player has played in the london derby, the merseyside derby, the north east derby, the milan derby and the munich derby

also what team has four words in its name

[NeilMcD]

[QUOTE=paul_oshea]sure morocco are only one behind us. QUOTE]

Well our total is actually 10 rather than 17 and Moroccos is 18 as I dont think they have been ivolved in a penalty competition. So we are 8 better off than them

[NeilMcD]

ok then:
what player has played in the london derby, the merseyside derby, the north east derby, the milan derby and the munich derby

Ziege

[NeilMcD]

Bury I think

[paul_oshea]

yes i posted that before i read about the penalties part!

one more quick one:
what two premiership players have more than 100 appearances for their respective countries

[paul_oshea]

yes ziege is right

spurs, liverpool, milan, middlesborough and 1860

[NeilMcD]

Claudio Reyna

[Eirambler]

also what team has four words in its name

Brighton And Hove Albion?

[paul_oshea]

yes but whos the next one??? he plays for a london club.

also this is a nice one:

what player has won a premiership medal with two different clubs?

bit of a trick one that.

[paul_oshea]

"Brighton And Hove Albion?"
yes well done.

sorry for hijacking this thread!

what player has won 3 fa cup medals with three different clubs ( from the same city )

[fosterdollar]

Bury I think
4 letters or 4 words?

EDIT: sorry didnt see there was a next page and this has been cleared

[cullenswood]

also what team has four words in its name

Queen of the South???

[fosterdollar]

The Republic of Ireland... :o

[stojkovic]

"Brighton And Hove Albion?"
yes well done.

sorry for hijacking this thread!

what player has won 3 fa cup medals with three different clubs ( from the same city )
Dennis Wise - Wimbledon, Chelsea and Millwall.

[paul_oshea]

aye good man mr wise.

[noby]

Millwall???

[paul_oshea]

milwall were runners up against united last year. the question was medal, not winners medal

[pineapple stu]

ya but how many games have italy played. do you mean a better goals to game ratio?

i still think if we had 26 games we wouldnt have conceded 20, i.e. we would have conceded more probably.
But that's exactly what "average" means... :rolleyes:


Well our total is actually 10 rather than 17 and Morocco's is 18 as I dont think they have been ivolved in a penalty competition. So we are 8 better off than them
Didn't Morocco lose to West Germany 4-1 on penalties in 1986?

[Poor Student]

Henning Berg? :confused:

[wexfordned]

David May

[noby]

Well that's different then.

John Barnes. Watford, Liverpool and Newcastle. As "from the same city" was in brackets, I'm taking it as a clue and not a requirement for the answer.

[stojkovic]

Name the only player who has won SIX European Cup (winners) medals.

And a player who may get his FIFTH on May 25th.

[paul_oshea]

maldini or cafu? for the second one.

Di Stefano?

the question ( as i was asked it ) is meant to be which player won an fa cup medal for three different london clubs, however i knew that there was more than one so i only gave a hint. because i thought it was a bit obvious if i said a london club

[paul_oshea]

a google has got me the answer to that:
Real Madrid legend Francisco Gento.

what player won six Premiership titles, two FA Cup winners' medals. he won one more medal but it will def give it away if i say that one.

Seedorf

[cullenswood]

Giggsy-Wiggsy

[paul_oshea]

and....

[stojkovic]

a google has got me the answer to that:

Peter Schmichel - Euro 92.

[stojkovic]

Gento is correct.

Maldini is going for his fifth.

Seedorf only has three.

[paul_oshea]

well i googled gento, cos i wasnt sure, but i assumed it was maldini, fairly obvious really. wasnt sure about cafu thought he might, but how long was he playing in south america before he moved to europe?

iim hoping someone can tell me the answer to this one, whoo played in the liverpool derby, the london derby and the manchester derby, i think he played around the early 90's but i dont know who it is, thought it was parker ( not paul ) but i donot think it is.

Could it be Paul Stewart - Spurs, Liverpool and Man City.

Cafu was at Roma before Milan. He only has one Euro winners medal.

[thecorner]

ok then:
what player has played in the london derby, the merseyside derby, the north east derby, the milan derby and the munich derby

queen of the south

[thecorner]

3 world cup winning captains have played for the same club

name club and players???

[paul_oshea]

Could it be Paul Stewart - Spurs, Liverpool and Man City.

ya that makes sense, i know this is silly , but i think i got the paul part mixed up with paul parker, but assumed it was the surname.

when i get time i think i will grab all the questions on this forum and put them to a spreadsheet.

[paul_oshea]

was it munich? franz, mattheus and someone else. that needs thinking about.

were they at the club at the same time or different times?
