+cownchicken Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hopefully this question has not been asked already. Where and when was the first FIFA world cup played? And the winners were...? BEEN THERE, DONE IT, GR8Scot GOT THE T-SHIRT!!! EISH!!!!! There have been far too many questions asked and we have to remember them all. Thanks cownchicken. For my b@llsup I will abstain from a 2nd question and pass it on to Mountain Goat territory - all yours for a new question. Thanks Cincol, but will have to decline. In the last 36hours we have had only about 2 hours internet access. Vox Atlantic have serious cable problems which can last up to 8 days. Would not be fair as we can only connect sporadically and would hold up the game. Suggest you ask the next question. Got to rush - possibly be disconnected before this post is through!!!

+cincol Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 OK - here is a quickie. Which country is the only country to have competed in EVERY Soccer World Cup tournament? Quote Link to comment
+Wazat Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 What is flyting? Had to consult my Websters for this one just to make sure - wow, can't remember when last I needed to open a REAL dictionary!! "a dispute or exchange of personal abuse in verse form" I am sure that wazat could come up with some verse that would aptly demonstrate flyting to us all. A flyting response to you Your cache collection is down You have fell behind You lazy clown. Time to get up your numbers Come now Cincol, Get out and find some caches Don't be a poephol. You are back in SA Go out and find a plastic box time to make up numbers pull up your socks. Oh Wazat your pithy, veiled exposition in verse just because us in the sand live with the "no cache" curse On the other hand your number have us wow-ed as KZN has a cache abundance making your finds well endowed we challeange you to a week in the sand experience the sweat and be part of our merry band (yep - a slow day at the office ) Granted Carbon Hunter, The hides are few, And a Petered out Cincol Finds not much new. But I must degress, My finds may be less, But for a long trip all over the land I nabbed a few in the hand. For in February alone, Drove my butt to the bone, For in that month i totaled 148 More than i did in the whole 2008 And now as my area becomes clear, Caches are far and not near, Far do i have to travel Just a cache sheet to unravel. So I now begin to feel the pain in this caching for numbers game. Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 OK - a little obscure perhaps? It is the other "official" (non-FIFA) world football ranking. Currently Netherlands is number 1. How about - which was the last team to win the World Cup - that had never previously won it? Quote Link to comment
+DamhuisClan Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Now that was an interesting one. ELO was first used for Chess (link) and then later adapted to other sports, where soccer is one of them (link) Quote Link to comment
+DamhuisClan Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Which was the last team to win the World Cup - that had never previously won it? If we may make the assumption that this is answered at 10H30 tonight (Sunday) The answer would be "Netherlands"! Hup Hup Holland! Quote Link to comment

+DamhuisClan Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 I just got an email from my aunt, where they say the whole train schedule will be altered in the Netherlands to allow people to take trains to Amsterdam, to welcome their heroes on Tuesday morning. Way to go Oranje Supporters! Quote Link to comment

The housboat owners are sighing with relief - they have cancelled the trip via the canals - last time the fans got on top of some of the houseboats in such great numbers that they sank!

+Carbon Hunter Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 How about - which was the last team to win the World Cup - that had never previously won it? Reminder - and this was asked before Spain won Quote Link to comment
+Gr8Scot Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 How about - which was the last team to win the World Cup - that had never previously won it? Reminder - and this was asked before Spain won I figure that it has to be a team that has at present only won it once, so how about England 1966? BTW, did anyone else notice that at almost every match there was a Scotland flag on the front of the stands somewhere? Quote Link to comment
