Welcome back. This week we’ve returned to our more standard format- a few no-brainers, a few brain teasers, and a bit of everything else in between. Click through to see the questions that will be a drag on your company’s productivity over the next week.
1. What do only Liverpool F.C., Preston North End F.C., Barnsley F.C. have in common in the top four divisions of English football?
2. Name the five countries in Europe where association football is not considered the number one sport and what sport holds that title in each country?
3. Who was the first footballer born outside of the British Empire to be a member of a championship winning side in the English top flight?
4. Players from what five non-English clubs have contributed the most goals to the English National Team?
5. What distinction do Fulham, Swansea City, and Wigan Athletic jointly hold?
6. If you listed the last five managers of each Premier League club, which list would cover the most seasons and which would cover the least?
7. After an official blows his whistle to stop play, what are the eight ways to restart a football match?
8. There are only eight cities in the U.K. which have two or more league football teams, but in only two of these cities are both clubs outside of the top flight- what is the city and what are the clubs?
I’d like to take one more opportunity to invite you to submit a “guest challenge” to be posted next week. It, along with your answers, should be submitted to avoidingthedrop@gmail.com by midnight EST next Tuesday.
Good luck!
