This week’s challenge is mostly about scoring goals- lots of them, and over a long period of time. Sprinkled in among them are a few questions about odd tournaments and cups- it’s a perfect combination. Or it isn’t. I honestly don’t know. Whatever the case, the questions themselves are pretty interesting and that’s all that really matters. Click through to see what you’re made of…or not made of as the case may be.
1. In what recent tournament did Mexico finish ahead of the Netherlands, Japan ahead of Argentina, and Uzbekistan ahead of the United States?
2. Only one Scottish footballer has scored 100 or more goals for two Scottish clubs- who is he?
3. Only one French footballer has scored 100 or more goals for two French clubs- who is he?
4. What league’s list of top scorers includes no less than six players who averaged at least a goal per match over their careers?
5. What former Ross County player once led a European second division in scoring?
6. What striker, who just led his country’s Premier League in scoring for the sixth time in a row, has never been capped by his country’s national team?
7. What are the six cups that have been open to both Irish and Northern Irish clubs since 1941?
8. What tournament, held only twice, was created for communist countries and those sympathetic towards them?
