Good crap. I don't know any of these. But here's some wild guesses.
__________________________________________ Where did the modern game of soccer originate? Scotland? What famous Scottish team do the Catholics support? Celtic What famous Scottish team do the Protestants support? Rangers. Or wait. Maybe it's the other way around. Oh well. What famous Argentine team in the capital is supported by the wealthy? River Plate What famous Argentine team in the capital is supported by the poor? Boca Juniors What year was the inaugural Women’s World Cup? Women play soccer? Just kidding. I said I'm just kidding! What year was the inaugural Men’s World Cup? 1930 Which country is the birthplace of South American soccer? Uruguay? What years saw an absence of the Men’s World Cup? No idea, but maybe 1942? How many teams can qualify for the World Cup? All of them can qualify. 😉 32 eventually do. Who won the World Cup in the following years (and who was the host country)? 1930-2002: I'm gonna guess Brazil on all of them. 1930 Uruguay. 1998 France. Boy I suck. Which country is the only one to win the European Cup while being the defending World Cup champion? This one I should know. Trezeguet ties the game in the dying seconds, and Wiltord helps the French to finish off the Italians. | |||||

Pope John Paul II scheduled his coronation in 1978 so as not to conflict with a televised soccer game.
Born Karol Wojtyla, he was known as "Lolek the Goalie," in his hometown of Wadowice, Poland, where he played for the local soccer team. As a boy, according to childhood friend Jerzy Kluger, Wojtyla played in pickup soccer games that pitted Jewish boys against Catholic boys, and Wojtyla would volunteer to play with the Jewish boys to create even numbers. "There usually was not enough Jews, so somebody had to play on the Jewish team and he was always sort of ready, you know," Kluger said in a 2003 interview. Pope John Paul II was also an honorary member several soccer clubs, including Barcelona and Schalke 04, and frequently hosted soccer teams at the Vatican. In "The Simplest Game" by Paul Gardner, Coach Bora Milutinovic described the Mexican national team's audience with John Paul II in 1984 before a friendly against Italy: "He gave us a blessing. He held up one hand. Five fingers. The next day the Italians scored five goals against us. We were just happy he didn't bless us with both hands." | |||||

Them's fightin' words! In case anyone out there is easily led astray, Franco's favorite team was Real Madrid. Barcelona was not, and very proud of it. | |||||
