Affentitten Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 It's a good question. And a fair distinction considering the likes of Italy and France didn't have a single win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Another WC trivia question: Which team was the only team in the 2010 World Cup Final tournament where all the players played professionally within their own country? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 An inspired guess....but a little wiki-fu shows it is not so - their team had 1 player from clubs in each of Sitzerland, Japan, German & Russia - the Captain plays for Rostov. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Turns out is was England........Germany came a close 2nd with only 1 player in a foreign league - he played in England! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Korea also had one player that plays in a foreign country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 As a matter of interest. Who was the sole player in the German World Cup squad that played overseas? Regards KR 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak_43 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Ballack? -------------------------- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ballack didn't play. Spain is quite impressive in this regard as well. As far as I can tell only two players not playing in Spain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 BTW SO, I am the quiz master at a find raising trivia night tomorrow. I've used your NZ world cup question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm sure there's a rugby one you could use too...when was the last time the Wallabies beat the AB's?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Affentitten Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Unfortunately I think that becomes a history question rather than a sport one! Just as an AAR, only one team got the NZ world cup question right (and they had 2 Kiwis on their table) because most people were thinking of Spain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
