Point made: there's no famous Australian footballers. If anyone should bitch at this quiz, it's us Germans. Three world cups, three European championships, won the last Champion's League. You could have put Franz Beckenbauer (captain of the 1974 world champions), Lothar Matthäus (ballon d'or and captain of the 1990 World Champions), Miroslav Klose (best World Cup goal scorer still in activity), Manuel Neuer (currently world's best goalkeeper) and countless others.

It is by country, there is one German, doesn't need to be the most famous one. French could cry there is no Zidane and Argentinians that there is no Maradona. What Brazilians should say? Zico, Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Cafu.... If anyone should be pissed off for missing players it should be Poland with players like Lewandowski, Dudek, Tomaszewski, Boniek or Lato 1974 World Cup best scorer. We are also 2 times bronze medal winners and if it wasn't to cheating Germans we should be World Champions. Also Hungary should be on this list with their great team of 1950's and 60's, Bulgaria with 1994 team and Stoichkov, Penev not to mention Russia. So overall Germans have no reason to cry, Gerd Muller is a legendary icon in world of football and I don't see a difference him or Lothar Mattheus and Franz is obvious choice.

FIFA uses Republic of Ireland. When Ireland split from the UK in 1922 it was Northern Ireland which was allowed to keep the designation of Ireland - not the Irish Free State. Also Gerd Muller played for West Germany, if you're not going to change the answer you could at least accept West Germany.

In football/soccer, there is no UK team, the four constituent countries that comprise the UK play as individual teams. This is a hangover from the fact that the game started in the UK and individual football associations were formed before the game was played anywhere else in the world.

On one hand it seems a sneaky way to play more teams, but on the other hand if they combined their best players onto one team they would be better, so it's probably good for the other teams who play them that they are divided, but being from the US I don't really care - although I do enjoy watching soccer occasionally. (But thank you, fitheach, for the explanation.)

Unfortunately Weah never got the chance to show his skills on the international stage. Liberia never qualified for the world cup and most football fans (like myself) know about Weah's teams in Europe and about him breaking the nose of Jorge Costa in reaction for Costa's taunts, but Weah was not referred to as George Weah from Liberia.

England and Northern Ireland AREN'T "countries". So, UK should be accepted both for Rooney and Best. I, of course, typed in the end England and Northern Ireland for them, in order to get the points awarded for this quiz, but I see so much strictness in all the other quizzes regarding what is and what isn't a country that I just don't understand why this one, whose description clearly reads COUNTRY, accepts England and N.Ireland in this case.
