It's never been done.

Three teams have competed in the Intercontinental Cup despite never winning the Copa Libertadores or the Champions League / European cup. Name these 3 teams ? Which one of the 3 won it ?

Al-Alhi/ South Melbourne/ Necaxa

Witch ex Manchester United players's father scored against them in the final of a cup competition? (Hint re-read the question carefully for a clue)!

Juan Sebastian Veron's dad Juan Ram�n Ver�n aka the Witch

Sorry rambler14, I need to call you on the third question. Three teams in the Intercontinental.....
The expanded tournament is the World Club Cup which began in 2000. With a gap til 2005. That where the other confederations joined.
http://www.fifa.com/tournaments/arch...107/index.html

The Intercontinental is the previous UEFA versus CONMEBOL two leg and then one match tournament.
Atletico Madrid, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Malmo (ff?) took the place of the European Cup Champions.

And I would imagine the second question is still open too.

And here I was thinking that everyone would have heard of the Lisbon Lions at this stage :D

Good effort rambler14, you have the first and last ones correct.

Seond question, the Lisbon Lions have definately done it, but there is a more recent answer. Here is a clue - in fact there is controversy over the most recent team to do this, and one player links both teams and is the source of the controversy...

The third question, I'm referring to the "Toyota" cup, the competition played only between European and Latin American clubs. HarpoJoyce has it correct, but in fact there is a 4th? Anyone name that one?

11 players from same country question - FC Porto, and Deco?
23/04/2008, 9:51 PM
Flawless

Porto had Derlei the Brazilian in their starting 11 in 2004.

Aberdeen?

Nottingham Forest?

Marseille?

I'm leaning toward Steaua Buchareşt. With the player link being Georgie Hagi. 1986 final vs Barcelona.

Is the clue to do with your poor punctuation? That'd make it Neville Neville. Or some other brothers' dad.

I think it's either Juventus or Panathinaikos. The name of AC Milan also popped up.

I know when Red Star won (in 1990, I think) the only foreigner in the team was the ethnic Serb defector Belodedici, but as he played in the 1994 World Cup for Romania he scarcely counts.

Halfway there with that last answer, yes Steaua is one of the disputed teams, but the player is not Hagi, and the other team is not Barca

Yes my poor use of the apostraphe and extra "s" is a red herring. The answer has already been given, the clue is my deliberate poor spelling of "witch", or bruja as it translates to Spanish.

Yep, Panathinaikos, I think both Juve and Milan were substitute teams, but they have both won the competition (Champions Lg) since. Atleti were the team that won it.

It was hardly AC Milan in 1989 in the Nou Camp.

At the risk of starting a diplomatic incident.... Red Star won it in 91 with 10 Yugoslavs and an ethnic Serb from Romania.

I'd be very surprised if they was only 9. Anyway.... Kenny/Paul Dalglish, Alex/Darren Ferguson, Gordon/+1 Strachan, Steve/Alex Bruce. Brian/Nigel Clough, Cesare/Paolo Maldini, Johan/Jordi Cruyff, Dermot/Alan Keely

Yep, this is correct, on 29th May 1991 Yugoslavia still existed as a country and all the players were Yugoslavian (Slovenia declared independace less than one month later, and Croatia 5 months later). The player you mention is the source of contention. Miodrag Belodedici was born in Sokol, Romania to Serbian (Yugoslavian) parents. He played for Steaua in the final in 1986 and again in 1991 winning both times. Before the regieme collapsed in Romania he defected to Yugoslavia and was banned from playing for the Romanian national team. However, he couldn't play for Yugoslavia as he had already played international football, he later played for Romania again in the late 1990s.

The answer depends on if you classify him as Romanian (in which case it is Steaua) or Yugoslavian / Serbian (in which case it's Red Star).
