I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience with the long delay between the publication of the first half of the commenter survey results and this, the second half of those results. Normally this would be the place where I made some sort of humorous excuse for why this has happened, but the [...]

The Thursday Challenge: The Answers
Posted in General, Indoor Soccer, Trivia, Whimsy, Wild Ass Guesses on February 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Last week I have you a very long list of footballers and asked you to break them down into teams of at least two players and to give each team the correct name. I am happy to report that two of you came through with the correct answers. Join me after the jump and we’ll [...]

I wish I could say I had better news- but I don’t. After an extensive search of my closet and my car I have not been able to turn up any of the three missing items: my 2009 New England Revolution short-sleeved training shirt, 2008-2009 Scotland home long-sleeved shirt, and 2009-2010 Scotland change socks. There [...]

Unlike last week, I’ve never met any of the players involved in the questions below, never mind had tea with them! Last week’s questions were, no doubt, a bit Dingwall-centric, so I’ve gone out of my way to cast my net a little wider this week. That being said, they aren’t necessarily any easier. Finally, [...]

I will start with a tip of the cap to our stalwart challenge participant, Andrew M. This week’s questions were tough- particularly the Ross County questions- and he did very well. Andrew answered seven of the questions correctly, we are currently engaged in a polite discussion about two other questions (we might both be right!), [...]

This is a new tournament so we only had three teams sign up, but it should be fun nonetheless! Your job is this: Tell me the basis upon which the three teams are organized? Simple, no?

Netherlands v. Brazil (Friday) I fear that when all is said and done there will be a large gap between what this match could be and what it will be. This will not be the totaalvoetbal of the Cruyff-era Netherlands against the jogo bonito of Pelé’s Brazil. Instead, the Dutch will hope that a moment [...]

As I’ve written this shirt collecting column over the past six weeks I’ve been reminded more than once of just how many shirts I’ve given away, traded away, thrown away (settle down, I’ll explain why below), or in one case, lost. I thought I’d devote this week to those items- at least the ones that [...]

The best thing about this week’s challenge is that two regular participants from the past responded to my plea for greater participation in the challenge! I didn’t ask where they’d been (prison? black-ops mission? a bender of epic proportions?) I’m just glad they came back! So, in addition to regular Andrew M., we welcome back [...]
