Aye, afraid the other two would require Google, which in my eyes is cheating. As for number 3 I''ll take a guess at Uruguay.

[/quote]And there goes what I thought was the hard one, Ryan! Raynor, indeed, in 1958. I thought I was going to have to give clues, such as his initials being those of a much-loved recent City manager...

[quote user="norfolkchance1"]Who were the 9 players Pete?[/quote]

Afraid there was some confusion in the pub. The answer supplied was Gerrard, Carragher, Finnan, Deco, Selgado, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Bosingwa and another Chelsea defender - I forget who.

They wouldn''t accept our argument of Jonathan Greening.

30 and 50 were Uruguay,  so is it the goal scorer?  Or was there a womans version or a world cup in another event?  subbutteo?

[ZLF 271]

Is that the yeaar there was no "final"?  wasnt there an early tournament where the final 8 played in a league basis???

[norfolkchance1 0]

Good question and I now know the answer. It is very sneaky but clever.

[PurpleCanary 5,554]

[quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]Is that the yeaar there was no "final"?  wasnt there an early tournament where the final 8 played in a league basis???[/quote]Pretty much. An odd tournament. For the only time (not surprisingly!) the entire thing was on a league basis. Thirteen teams split between four initial groups (England lost to the USA!) and the four top teams going to the final group. By luck or an educated guess the last scheduled match in that group was between the best two teams, Uruguay and Brazil, and so was decisive. And Uruguay, against the odds, won 2-1. But, strictly, it wasn''t a final.
