QoD July 31, 2008
As promised, the All Soccer QoD:
2 points per correct answer, 10 points if you get all four correct. Answer with a Spoiler tag in one post in this thread before noon CDT on Friday, August 1.
No outside sources allowed. Just take your best guess.
1. West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, and Wigan Athletic are all soccer teams in the Premier League of what country? (Be specific here. When it comes to soccer, excuse me, football, they are picky so I will be as well.)
2. Xabi and Xavi are two players on the national soccer team of what country that won the Euro 2008 soccer title and had individuals win at Wimbledon and in the Tour de France this year?
3. What is the color of the shirts traditionally worn by Brazil’s national soccer teams?
4. Zinedine Zidane played for Juventus in Italy and Real Madrid in Spain but helped what country to the World Cup title in 1998 before getting kicked out of the 2006 World Cup final for a head-to-head meeting with an opponent?
That's it. The Final QoD for July. Thank you all for playing this month whether you played once or every day. It was all appreciated. There is nothing better for a Meister than to have people say, “That looks like fun. I’ll give it a try.”

And thanks for all the two pointers, whether I was actually funny or not. One of these days, I'll win one of these things on humor points alone.

Otherwise known as the "All guess, probably all wrong" QoD for me!!
1. West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, and Wigan Athletic are all soccer teams in the Premier League of what country? (Be specific here. When it comes to soccer, excuse me, football, they are picky so I will be as well.)
You had to use the W in the clue...ugh. All I know is I want a ham sandwich now. I guess I'll say England.
2. Xabi and Xavi are two players on the national soccer team of what country that won the Euro 2008 soccer title and had individuals win at Wimbledon and in the Tour de France this year?
What?!? I think that names starting with X are typically Spanish. Or is it French? Or both? I'll go with Spain.
3. What is the color of the shirts traditionally worn by Brazil’s national soccer teams?
Thanks for this Y freebie...Yellow
4. Zinedine Zidane played for Juventus in Italy and Real Madrid in Spain but helped what country to the World Cup title in 1998 before getting kicked out of the 2006 World Cup final for a head-to-head meeting with an opponent?

I thought it was a Head-to-Chest meeting. But, I may be misremembering.

England.
(Which, according to Alex Trebek, is essentially the same as "U.K." Or at least that's what he said when they ruled "England" correct during a not-so-recent Final Jeopardy! round.... grrr.)

1. Wales [you seem to emphasize "West" here, and using "W" makes sense]
2. Spain?
3. Yellow [To fit the "WXYZ" theme; also, it's on their flag, right?]
4. France [Was the French guy the head-butter, or the head-buttee?]

If only I had picked up on the alphabetical theme a little earlier, I might've been able to win it.

1. West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, and Wigan Athletic are all soccer teams in the Premier League of what country? (Be specific here. When it comes to soccer, excuse me, football, they are picky so I will be as well.)
Well, it's W so I will guess, and I mean guess, despite the W's in the Q that the answer is Wales.
2. Xabi and Xavi are two players on the national soccer team of what country that won the Euro 2008 soccer title and had individuals win at Wimbledon and in the Tour de France this year?
No obvious X to choose and since X is in the question I have no clue. I know little more about Wimbledon and the snooty Tour de France than I do about "Futbol" so that doesn't help much either. Question implies a European team so howzabout Germany?
3. What is the color of the shirts traditionally worn by Brazil’s national soccer teams?
Guessing that Y equates to Yellow.
4. Zinedine Zidane played for Juventus in Italy and Real Madrid in Spain but helped what country to the World Cup title in 1998 before getting kicked out of the 2006 World Cup final for a head-to-head meeting with an opponent?
Seem to remember the guy that got kicked out of the game for a stupid penalty for a head butt in the World Cup and what sticks in my mind is it was France. But like the rest I don't really have a clue.

Spain (I don't know Mr. Xabi or Mr. Xavi, but I know who won the Tour de France.)
3. What is the color of the shirts traditionally worn by Brazil’s national soccer teams?
Yellow (It's got to be yellow or blue, and blue doesn't work for the alphabet answer.)

I remember seeing photos of Mr. Zinedine, but I don't remember his team. I don't think Zambia has ever won the World Cup, so I will guess Germany.
Mr. Andrew, thank you for excellent questions all month, for letting me play, and for a very fun game. QoD is the best!
Love,
