I’m not going to say that I am “delighted” when our regular commenters/participants are stumped by a Thursday Challenge, but it’s not a bad feeling either! Last week I gave you the task of taking a list of fourteen mostly-European football clubs and telling me a) what they had in common, and having done that, [...]

I’m not going to mention any names- I’m not that kind of guy*-but let’s just say that as Keith C. and Harry J. have stepped up their collective games over the past month or so a few of our regulars have, well, faded into the background. Unnamed commenters, I’m calling you out- come back and [...]

It’s Yevgeny Starikov- duh!! I am happy to report that just like last week my questions for you this week were so good that they once again caused some of you to respond with anger and profanity. It’s always nice to know that I am appreciated. It’s also nice to know that even though we’re [...]

I was going to make this week’s questions a little less challenging than last weeks, but I just couldn’t do it. So, instead, I reduced them in number. This week there are only six of them and I consider two of them to be the kind that you could answer without doing any research. The [...]

Estudiantes de La Plata v. C.A. Vélez Sarsfield (Friday) This is probably the biggest match in Argentina’s Primera Division so far this season and it involves neither River Plate (8th place) nor Boca Juniors (10th place). No, it features first place Estudiantes and second place Vélez. The two teams are separated by three points, but [...]

L.A. Galaxy v. New York Red Bulls (Friday) This is a big match, but not for the reasons one might suspect. The only meaningful things that are on the line are the Galaxy taking another step towards winning the Supporter’s Shield for 2010 and whether or not the Red Bulls can win the Eastern Conference [...]

Portugal (4) v. Brazil (6) (Friday) Maybe it’s just the historian in me, but I always enjoy matches between former colonies and their former imperial masters- they are especially enjoyable when the former colony is the better side as it is in this case. Both teams are going to progress (the Côte d’Ivoire will enter [...]

There’s no doubt about it, last week’s challenge was a tough one and I would not have been shocked if nobody was able to solve- but somebody did! So, Andrew M., take a very deep bow- if you weren’t already the undisputed champion of the Thursday Challenge you are now! For the rest of you, [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Airdrie United F.C. (Saturday) Winning the First Division and being promoted to the SPL is probably out of reach at this point, but this has already been- thanks to making the Scottish Cup Final!!- County’s most successful season ever and things could still improve. Besides winning the Scottish Cup, there are [...]
