Only 2 English clubs played in Europe in the 1990/91 season. Who were they?

Which country scored all their goals in the 1998 World Cup, in second half stoppage time?

Well done, Superhoops.

Aston Villa and the red-and-blacks represented England in Europe. Aston Villa lost to Inter Milan in the second round of the UEFA Cup. Having won 2-0 in Birmingham, they lost 3-0 on a paddyfield pitch, in Milan. Liverpool, the reigning English champions, were banned from Europe until the following season.

Austria scored last-minute equalizers against Cameroon, and Chile in their World Cup group in 1998, and another against Italy, but lost that one 2-1, and went out.

All on penalties? 1990 v. Argentina in the semis; 1994 v. Brazil in the final; 1998 v. Holland or Norway (?) on penalties

How many times have Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, or Belarus met England in a competitive UEFA/FIFA game?

None that I can remember? England didn't play competitive games against non-Home Nations until 1956, by which time, all those were assimilated into the USSR.

"Then in Palermo
We played the English
With all the cops there
'Twas worse than Finglas" (World Cup Me Arse)

Think Palermo's right. Didn't see the additional side to the question though - what about the 3rd/4th place play-off?

Thought our game against England was in Cagliari, where England played all their games, may be wrong! Forgot about 3/4 play-off, in Bari aganist Italy.

don't know of the secong question

[Superhoops]

Who was the first Non-European player to win the European Footballer of the Year award, and when?

Alfredo Di Stefano won two European Footballer of the Year awards. but I am not sure whether at the time he was deemed to be Argentinian, Colombian or Spanish at the time although I suspect he was spanish. Another Argentinian Omar Sivora who played for Juventus also won the award after Di Stefano, so I would say Sivora is the answer.

Eusebio? .

Is he not portugese??

[gustavo]

Who were the last team to qualify from their group for the Second Round of the 2002 World Cup Finals?

He's from Mozambique. Portuguese colony though, so he played for them.

Nope, just checked my video - I'm wrong. Cagliari it is.

[anto eile]

Nope, just checked my video - I'm wrong. Cagliari it is.

FYI .. the Sant' Elia stadium. capacity is now given as 23486.strange seeing as originally it was nearly 60,000, and then for the world cup in 1990 it was 40117

Who was the first Non-European player to win the European Footballer of the Year award, and when?

Pineapple stu, got the answer. Not Eusebio from Portugal, but it was George Weah of AC Milan, PSG, Liberia, and er....Manchester City fame, who won the award in 1995.

Who were the last team to qualify from their group for the Second Round of the 2002 World Cup Finals?

Gustavo won the honours with the USA. They were the last team in order of qualifying to make the WC 2002 secound round, despite losing their last group game to Poland. They only qualified because the other group game, South Korea-Portugal, was not a draw. Germany knocked the Americans out in the quarter finals.

In which cities did England play their games in World Cup '90?

Superhoops got it right. England played their 7 games in WC '90 in Cagliari, with knockout games in Bologna, Naples, Turin, and Bari, in that order.

Which minnow team dumped Liverpool out of the 1991/92 League Cup?

Following St. Francis' merger with Pats in 2001, they withdrew from the league, leaving the 1st Division one club short. It led to their opponents each week that season, having an idle week when they were originally due to play St. Francis. Because of that, one team in the division finished their campaign one week before the other teams in the league. Who were they?
