Schumi you'll find that Celtic don't even hold the record for most league titles in Scotland, let alone the world

Fair enough, it was a guess, hence the question mark. My knowledge of Scottish football is fairly limited!

I'm pretty sure Skonto Riga is the answer to 3, and I think Florin Raducioiu for 5.
DmanDmythDledge
12/12/2007, 1:45 PM
1. Notts Forest
2. Linfield
3. some team from Estonia (somewhere around there at least) I think.
Around 15 or so.
4. Nantes
5. completely stumped with that one
6. I think it's the Mexican fella- Blanco?
7.Germany
8. Azerbajin
9. Thuram
10. Italy
Poor Student
12/12/2007, 1:49 PM
3) Which club has won the most consecutive league titles in the world? Celtic?
Celtic and Rangers jointly hold the Scottish record with nine successive titles.
I think Sheridan is right, Skonto won the first 14 Latvian league championships.
Celtic and Rangers jointly hold the Scottish record with nine successive titles.
I know, but wouldn't Celtic be given the record since they were the first to do it?

8 is Austria. I still remember Knudsen in goal for the Faeroes with his bobble hat

Good effort lads
1) Forest
2) Rangers
3) Skonto Riga
4) Sochaux (Well done Jebus!)
5) Raducioiu
6) No-one got this yet... It's not Mattheus
7) Germany
8) Austria
9) Laurent Blanc
10) Still waiting on this - Venezuela had it last year and Georgia had it earlier this year! :eek:

Is 6 an Estonian?
DaveyCakes
12/12/2007, 2:14 PM
Damn, I read an article about 10 just a while ago. It's an Arican country...Tanzania?
Sheridan
12/12/2007, 2:16 PM
Is 6 an Estonian?
I had that notion too, for some reason. Can't name many Estonian internationals off the top of my head other than Andres Oper, but he'd hardly be old enough.
I suppose technically the record holder would be a woman...
#10 is pointless, it changes almost every international matchday.
10 is Italy! Georgia lost to Scotland who in turn lost to Italy and Italy remain unbeaten since then!!! Huzzah! :D
DaveyCakes
12/12/2007, 2:22 PM
or is it Zimbabwe?

Italy lost a friendly to Hungary this year, do Hungary still have it?
Italy lost a friendly to Hungary this year, do Hungary still have it?
That was before the Scotland game though
Hungary were beaten by Greece, so its Greece!

6 is Ravelli the Swedish goalkeeper?
6 is Ravelli the Swedish goalkeeper?
There's a blast from the past, had forgotten he ever existed! Good keeper
osarusan

just checked wiki - he has 143 caps. Must be up there with the most-capped.
DmanDmythDledge
12/12/2007, 2:45 PM
He is fourth.
I could have sworn it was him so I looked it up- I doubt anyone will get it.

Well done!
The other lad is Estonian alright.
Also England were "assumed" as original holders as they formed the game I guess, either way they lost it to Scotland who were the other team to play the first international game so it makes no difference!

12/12/2007, 2:48 PM
hint?
Still playing, from one of the Baltic countries, main club FC Flora (over 300 appearances for them).
osarusan
12/12/2007, 2:51 PM
just checked and I'd never heard of him. (until now, obviously)
By the power of Football Manager I say it is Martin Reim :p

Is 6 Thomas Ravelli?
Also, I presume that the world cup winners would probably be the answer to number 10, so assuming Italy were the holders at one stage in that group, it must have bounced around that group a bit, via Scotland, Georgia so whoever beat Georgia on the last matchday. Ukraine?

12/12/2007, 3:35 PM
Read the question
Yeah, sorry, I just excitedly jumped in.
Still though, never get in the way of a quest for more knowledge, no matter how irrelevant at the time it will come into its own in some way some day!
I'm pretty sure the Egyptian Hassan is the most capped in the world??
Torn-Ado
12/12/2007, 4:29 PM
I don't get number 10.

I'd have thought Marko Kristal? Or is he retired?

yes he is, but Reim has more caps anyway.

Why would one assume that England were the original world champions?
Because they were the first country to win an international football match.
DaveyCakes
13/12/2007, 10:20 PM
Because they were the first country to win an international football match.
Would it not be more logical to assume that Uruguay were the original world champions? Because they were the original world champions, perhaps....
pineapple stu

No, because that's not how this works. They were only the first winners of a competition designed to find the wrold champions; doesn't mean (apart from in the strictest sense) that no-one ever called a etam the world champions before, and England or Scotland would have been the obvious choice.
Although there is a similar line which does start from the 1930 World Cup Final. It merged with the other one in the 50s, and has obviously been the same ever since.
