This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
Did Jean Pierre Papin ever make it to a World Cup?? I think France fecked up before USA '94??
UCD sha-la-la
UCD beat Rovers in February 1988 in the 4th Round in front of a deserted Tolka.Why the question mark?
We were the previous team to beat them too, in '84!
Kerry Blue got the score right of the Anderlecht game. Bremen came back from 0-3 down at home to Anderlecht with half an hour remaining to win 5-3.
What did the FAI Cup Finals at Lansdowne between 1991, and 1994 have in common?
Which club did Mo Johnston leave Celtic for?
Papin was a "star" of Mexico 86 missing chance after chance after chance.
Yes. Both Best and Weah never played in World Cup.
As gspain has pointed out Papin isn't one.
There are 3 more.

The 1991-1994 finals all finished 1-0. Derry and Shels broke the trend in '95, when Derry won 2-1.
Mo Johnston left Celtic for Nantes in 1987, and left them for Rangers in 1989.
Liverpool won 9-0 against Crystal Palace in September 1989. What was the score of Liverpool's next league game?
One country led a game 1-0 and were 1 minute away from qualifying for the 1996 European Championships. Then they conceded an equalizer. They had 2 games left to play in their group after that, yet they still failed to qualify for the finals. Who were they?

In answer to the TWO players to play in two WC Finals with different teams, there is actually SEVEN players who have done this ;
Altafini - Brasil and Italy
Luis Monti - Argentina and Italy
Puskas - Hungary and Spain
Santamaria - Uraguay and Spain
Prosinicki - Yugoslavia and Croatia
Jarni - Yugoslavia and Croatia
Suker - Yugoslavia and Croatia
QUESTIONS -
1. Who came on as a sub in a WC match and scored a hat-trick ?
2. Who came on as a sub in a WC FINAL, scored, and got taken off ?
Both are within last 30 years.
Liverpool had EIGHT different goalscorers that day - a record.
I will hazard a guess at this - was it IRELAND ?
Northern Ireland equalised and we then lost to Austria and Portugal.
I thought that we had THREE games left (losing to the Austrians twice on the bounce)
Am I right ?
1. A guy called Kiss did it for Hungary against El Salvador in '82, not sure if you're thinking of the same one.
2. Altobelli for Italy vs. West Germany, also in '82.
I'm fairly Puskas didn't actually make it onto the pitch for Spain in 1962 (?), although he was included in the squad.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Correct and correct.
Yes its funny what we think of as 'played' or 'in squad'.
If your country wins the WC but you don't play a single game - you still get a medal - ie Ronaldo in 1994.
If you don't win and you don't play it's 'he never played in a WC' scenario.
Why did Osvaldo Ardiles wear number 2 in 1978WC and number 1 in 1982WC ?
And have England ever done this ?
The numbers were picked on alphabetical order.
No idea, I'll guess no.And have England ever done this ?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Correct - with ONE exception, a certain Diego Armando.The numbers were picked on alphabetical order.
No idea, I'll guess no.
Argentina do this regularly but give the odd player his own way like Batistuta and the like.
Incorrect, England did the same in 1982, with the exception of the goalkeepers and Kevin Keegan - who thought he was Maradona.
FIVE players have won the clean sweep of 1. European Player of the Year (1956+), 2. World Player of the Year (1982+), 3. FIFA World Player of the Year (1991+) in the same year. Who are they and who done it twice?
