**JC_GUFC** · 12/12/2007, 11:53 AM

Just bored so thought I'd give similarly bored people out there something to think about for the day....

1) Which former European Cup winners are now playing in the 3rd level in their domestic league?

2) Which club has won the most domestic league titles in the world?

3) Which club has won the most consecutive league titles in the world?

4) Which club has spent the most seasons in the French top flight?

5) Which player has played club football in the top flight of the English, French, German, Spanish and Italian leagues?

6) Which player holds the record amount of international caps for a European country?

7) Which country has finished as runners-up in the World Cup most often?

8) Which country did the Faroe Islands beat in their first ever competitive match?

9) Which player scored the first ever "Golden Goal" in a World Cup Finals match.

10) Assuming England were the original world champions and that the "world championship title" is passed on when the holder is beaten who would now be the current holders? (OK I know no-one will get this but it will be interesting to see some of the guesses!)

**Dodge** · 12/12/2007, 12:53 PM

**Schumi** · 12/12/2007, 12:55 PM

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

**Sheridan** · 12/12/2007, 1:42 PM

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

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.

I know, but wouldn't Celtic be given the record since they were the first to do it?

**DaveyCakes** · 12/12/2007, 2:07 PM

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

**JC_GUFC** · 12/12/2007, 2:08 PM

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!

**DaveyCakes** · 12/12/2007, 2:08 PM

Why would one assume that England were the original world champions?

**DaveyCakes** · 12/12/2007, 2:10 PM

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

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.
