Neverending Football Quiz
Neverending Football Quiz
I noticed that the Games section of this forum is almost entirely devoted to prediction games. What I miss here, is a football quiz (where only knowledge is important, no luck factor involved). Therefore I am happy to present a new initiative : The Neverending Football Quiz.
Concept
Test the football knowledge of your fellow forum members !
This game is cyclic, the same pattern will be repeated continuously.
1. Question - A forum member (say A) posts a question.
2. Answer - Other forum members (anyone) can post their answer in this thread. Whoever gives the right answer first, wins.
3. Confirmation - Member A posts a confirmation if someone (say B) has posted the right answer. He can also give additional hints if a question has been unanswered/incorrectly answered for a long time.
4. New question - After confirmation, Member B can post a new question, as a reward for his own correct answer.
The same pattern Question-Answer-Confirmation-Question-Answer-Confirmation-Question-… will keep repeating itself, thus creating a neverending quiz.
Additional rules
1. I would ask everyone not to look up answers on the Internet/in books/whatever other source. This game is about football knowledge, not about using Google. I hope everyone is wise enough to follow this rule. Of course no one can check this, just be fair.
2. If a question remains unanswered or unconfirmed for 24 hours, the thread is considered to be open : anyone who wants can post the next question.
Questions
We will restrict the questions to football and anything related to football. Players, coaches, clubs, matches, stadiums,cups, both in the past and at present. In this way anyone on this forum can join the game, as you can expect that visitors of this forum have a sound knowledge of football history.
Scores
No scores will be kept in this game. Your only reward for a correct answer is that you have the right to ask a new question to test your fellow forum members.

That’s correct!
Dzomba, it’s your turn to ask a question
Note: Ronaldo joined Real Madrid in 2002/2003, after the win of “the ninth”. He still played the 2002 Intercontinental and probably European Super Cup too, but not the 2001/2002 CL. He also joined AC Milan 1 season after “the seventh”, and hasn’t played a single minute for them in the 2007/2008 CL. He also played for Inter, PSV and Barcelona; although for these last 2 he never played any CL edition (he did won the Cup Winners Cup for Barcelona in 1996/1997).
Hanover 26 - 06 - 1974(edit: in 64 there wasn't even a world cup): Brasil defeated 1 - 0 East Germany in the second round group stage
Yokohama 30 - 06 - 2002: Brasil won the World Cup Final 2 - 0 against Germany
so only 2 encounters between the teams that have a total of 8 trophies.

Hmmm. I'm wondering if everyone read this rule.bruno wrote:Additional rules

Knowing that East Germany played Brazil prior to the meeting between Germany & Brazil in the 2002 Final is quite impressive (I certainly didn't remember it) but knowing the exact date & location of the match (all be it 10 years out but I assume that's just a typo)...
It's much more interesting not to ask people not to use Google but to create google-protected questions; the one's which can't be found easy in Google.
And not because the facts are rare but because the answer requires several associations which lead to searches and therefore can't be found that easy.

of course I didn't see(at least remember) the rule. I remembered that the final between Germany and Brazil was a special game, but I wanted to make sure. So I checked wikipedia and found the East Germany game too which I am not sure if it's considered as an official encounter between Brazil and Germany is it? Dzomba just post another question and sorry again for not paying to much attention.badgerboy wrote:Hmmm. I'm wondering if everyone read this rule.bruno wrote:Additional rules

I'd give you the point (well credit for the right answer - I don't think there are points) just for being first with the 2002 answer. But that's obviously up to dzomba as he set the question...
Edit: But it does make the game a bit slow - having to wait for the person who set a question to come back & confirm it.

I see your point, Stef, but asking only google-protected questions is difficult. I think we just have to trust each other that we're not looking up answers. Because, what do you win by cheating (looking up answers) ? It's just a game, just testing each other's football knowledge !Stef wrote:It's much more interesting not to ask people not to use Google but to create google-protected questions; the one's which can't be found easy in Google.

As many users only visit this forum once or twice a day, the game can indeed become a bit slow. We could also say that any "third party" (any user reading this thread) can look up the right answer and than confirm (in case of a right answer) or give an extra hint (in case of a false answer). This would make the game faster.badgerboy wrote:But it does make the game a bit slow - having to wait for the person who set a question to come back & confirm it.
