Cool quiz.

I did well enough. Missed one.

[stokeriño]

I recognised the link to 8 of them...but just didn't know the actual answer to most.  2/10

[Malenko]

I have an unealthy obsession.

5/10

A few of them were guesses to be fair.

[9 to 5]

Scored 8, was a bit lucky.

I find it funny that both Jose Pekerman and Diego Maradona have the gall to suggest England played dirty and Colombia were innocent.

Did you not see Pickford's blatant handball in keeping out the fifth Colombian penalty?

I mean, they've got a point. Harry Kane was clearly giving the defender a piggyback to stop him from defending.

8/10.

I honestly can't say why I'm such a sucker for world cup trivia. I'm barely interested in club football between tournamens.

[Gazz]

How?

[Kaney]

Performance enhancing drugs. Kick them out asap.

This is the save of the tournament (and just about any tournament) and because Colombia scored off the ensuing corner it is kinda being forgotten. Sadly. What an incredible save. 

[MDK]

So what match is on tonight?

[Kaney]

Scotland vs San Marino.

[MDK]

Is that on Comedy Central or CBBC?

I love the mental gymnastics of "at least Harry Maguire owned up" after realising that the defender would be nowhere near him as he did his pathetic dive. "Nah, just a joke mate, wasn't cheating at all" .
