World Cup Quiz, Part 9
It's only two weeks away...anyone getting excited?
No-one seemed to get all that excited about the last quiz, but the answers are appended here for the record. Perhaps this one might be more to the taste of fellow World Cup hounds out there...
The Quotes
For each quote, name the speaker and the World Cup occasion.
1. "Right, who's going to be the first to score against these bastards?"
2. "We don't swap shirts with animals!"
3. "Without Maradona, Argentina would have no chance of winning the World Cup. That's how great he is."
4. "Other nations have their history. Uruguay has its football."
5. "I can't believe I'm in the quarter-final of the World Cup. I've never even been in the quarter-final of the League Cup before!"
6. "I care a great deal about Roberto Baggio."
7. "We have been eliminated brutally. I would say, scientifically."
8. "Don't show them any mercy. This is the World Cup!"
9. "We'll equalise before the other team has scored."
10. "You're not even Irish, you English c--t!"
