BOO YAH!!! I knew exactly 0 of these, but managed to get them all by guessing countries that are good at soccer.

Level 22

Jul 11, 2016

I doubt you guessed Czechoslovakia

Czechslovkia is pretty easy to guess, before they dissolved they had a very good footballing history including 2 world cup finals. Denmark and Greece are probably the hardest ones to guess if you really don't know anything about the Euros since they aren't know as good teams, but since Greece was a massive shock and Denmark famously only qualified for the tournament in the first place because Yugoslavia dissolved they are pretty famous results.

Level 86

May 10, 2018

Czech Republic appears as a runner-up one year, and seeing Yugoslavia and Soviet Union reminds you to try guessing countries that no longer exist. That's how I got it. I only got Greece by randomly guessing European countries after I had gotten everything else.

Level 19

Feb 10, 2021

I can tell that from "soccer"

Level 68

Jul 13, 2021

It's "football" not "soccer".

Level 72

Jul 14, 2021

It's both.

Level 79

Jul 19, 2021

literally the only place where it is called soccer is in america and they don't even really care about it (so it should just be named football)

Level 66

Jul 21, 2021

Literally everyone else called it soccer until a few years ago.

Level 70

Apr 23, 2022

literally no one called it soccer except for us. still say whichever one you want :p

Level 77

Sep 27, 2023

You would think people on a trivia site would know the history of the name "soccer." The game was called soccer by the brits WAY before the Americans started calling it that. It was short for Association Football, or Assoc. Much like they call rugby football "Rugger" they called Assoc. Football "Soccer." So the Americans started using that word, then apparently the Brits didn't want to anymore (probably because little brother was copying them) so they went to Football and rugby football went to just Rugby. So any European that complains about Americans using the word Soccer, blame England.

Level 24

Jul 28, 2014

Can;t you except Soviet Union as Russia. Other quizzes have Soviet Union as the offical answer but they except Russia.

Level 68

Feb 26, 2016

Agree some quizzes have it, it's a handy little add on to help you out but not necessary. Some quizzes get way too lenient with spelling and the likes too. And it would be accept not except. Rabbitohs.

Level ∞

Jul 10, 2016

Generally, featured quizzes don't accept Russia for the Soviet Union.

Level 28

Jan 11, 2023

accept*

I'm surprised England has never won

Level 62

Jul 11, 2016

Heck, they haven't even made it into a finals match.

Level 75

Jul 12, 2021

Now they have

Level 61

Aug 12, 2021

The irony of your comment, said on the day england played in the finals lmfao.....

Level 56

Jun 17, 2022

hahahahaha this is golden

Level 77

Jul 11, 2016

I find it interesting that people expect England to do well--as if their colonial, world power heritage somehow predestines football greatness.

+16

Level 60

Jul 11, 2016

Inventing the game and having won the major trophy (the World Cup) also suggests they might have won it at some point.

Level 65

Jul 11, 2016

I would say it is mostly based on the quality of the premier league. Unfortunately it does not always mean that the teams in the national leagues draw a lot of talent from their own country, but it does generate a greater affection for the sport and in that way more boys that play and eventually turn out to be good.

Level 77

Jul 11, 2016

The history is actually rather complex - a rudimentary form of football was English, but the idea of moving the ball towards the opponent’s goal by passing it from player to player was invented in Scotland. http://keepingscore.blogs.time.com/2012/04/02/no-england-did-not-invent-football-soccer-as-we-know-it/

I take your point about the Premier League. It does seem that a lot of players in that league did go to the national teams of other countries, but you would think that there would be more filtering down with all of the money, talent, and attention that the league receives.

Level 52

Jul 17, 2021

we got very close

Level 71

Jul 10, 2016

Just took this quiz and found I was the first to take it since reset. 100% correct and beat 0% of other quiz takers. That's quite funny.

Level 60

Jul 11, 2016

Just guessing each of the answers I was able to get them all. Czechoslovakia was the hardest to guess

Level 68

Jul 11, 2016

Yeah, Italy Germany France Spain USSR Italy Spain France USSR Italy Spain France USSR Italy Spain France USSR

Guessing Czechoslovakia took a while. Listed all the European countries I could think of except Andorra and Malta. Both Germanies and whatnot too.

Level 24

Jul 11, 2016

Congratulations, neighbors. A well-deserved victory for Portugal!!

Level 74

Jul 11, 2016

Technically the 1972 and 1980 were won by West Germany.

Level 60

Jul 11, 2016

West Germany is still accepted

Level 66

Jul 12, 2021

Technically, West Germany and Germany are the same thing.

Level 75

Jul 12, 2021

Not when there was an East Germany.

Level 72

Jul 12, 2021

East Germany joined the country that was called West Germany at the time but essentially the Germany of today is the continuation of West Germany.

Level 68

Jan 29, 2022

Kalleanon and MCMLXXXII are both right.

Level 78

Jan 10, 2018

I know very little about football but still got 11/15 and 2 points by rapidly typing all the major European footballing countries for each answer (I would have done even better if I had remembered the existence of Czechoslovakia). I suggest reducing the time to 3 or even 2 minutes to prevent cheats like me getting points for things they know nothing about.

Level 36

Wasn't 76 the year we got the Panenka(?) Penalty?

Level 76

Aug 27, 2021

Yup, exactly.

Level 93

Oct 21, 2019

I know the clues are former countries, but there is normally a note in the instructions that some answers are also former countries

Level 83

Jul 11, 2021

Haha, it's coming Rome!

Level 68

Jul 13, 2021

It definitely did go Rome, unfortunately.

Rashford's penalty was a shocker. If it had just been a fraction of an inch to the right it would have been a cracker of a goal and probably have won us the tournament.

Nevermind, I hope he redeems himself (as well as Sancho and Saka) in the World Cup! They did their best and we still love them

Level 72

Jul 14, 2021

The same fraction of an inch to the left and it would have be an even bigger miss. The point is: it didn't go in. Italy was better under pressure. That's it.

Level 88

Jul 12, 2021

The behaviour of our England ‘fans’ leaves me so ashamed I am glad they lost. Violence, racism, rioting, vandalism, drunkenness, domestic violence … etc. The judicial system gives a ‘pass’ to virtually any behaviour, short of murder, if it’s related to supporting England!

Level 55

Jul 12, 2021

Plus Pointing a Laser into a Opposing Goalie to stop him from holding on to the penalty instead of allowing a rebound.

But I'm sure most English fans are NOT any of the above. Most are passionate but not crazy. There are just a few "extreme" ones that must be stopped, it's just a soccer match for heaven sake.

Level 68

Jul 13, 2021

I'm an England supporter and have been disgusted by the ugly behaviour of the small minority of racist, ignorant thugs who have tarnished our reputation and spoiled a moment we should be proud of. Instead of focusing on those few idiots can we draw more attention to how the majority of England fans have responded with an avalanche of love and support for the Black players as well as denouncing the racists. They do not define us and they should not be allowed any more attention. Sign the petition going around now for a lifetime ban on racist fans.

Level 78

Jul 14, 2021

It's a strange world where, between England and Italy, it's the former that gets attention for bad sportsmanship and racism, and Italy wins the tournament playing the most beautiful and daring football.

Level 68

Jul 15, 2021

Italy got 5 yellow cards just in the final. The England team were yellow carded 4 times during the entire tournament. And Jorginho should have been sent off for his foul on Grealish.

But, no, we are the bad guys as usual :D

Level 58

Jul 13, 2021

I feel exactly the same, it was a horrible feeling when it came to Rashford's penalty (and as the other takers became apparent). I wanted them to score not so much because England would win, but because I knew what would happen if black players "caused" our defeat.

Level ∞

Jul 13, 2021

I'm pretty sure that all countries have obnoxious fans. The salient difference between nations is that England has a greater degree of self-loathing and thus its media focus on the behavior of a small minority of idiots to the exclusion of everything positive.

I love to knock England down a peg as much as the next guy, but overall, the English side played brilliantly. People should be happy about that. Instead, people whose only purpose in life is to stir up outrage were already writing stories about racism before the game was even over. England is not more racist that other countries. In fact, they are quite a bit less racist than most. Don't fall prey to the outrage machine.

Level 55

Jul 13, 2021

Agree. They should be happy that they beat Germany in a major tournament for once......

Level 58

Jul 14, 2021

Yeah to be fair that did occur to me - media actively looking for instances of racism in order to report it and get people wound up.

Level 68

Jul 15, 2021

I do fear we are becoming the America of Europe :(

Level 45

Jul 12, 2021

Why do they write Euro 2020 when it is 2021?

Level 76

Jul 12, 2021

Because it was postponed, not renamed.

Level 72

Jul 14, 2021

Yup. Same goes for Tokyo 2020, which will start in just over a week.

Level 79

Level 55

Jul 15, 2021

They don't want to spend more money rebranding everything again so they kept the name the same.
