Its got to be Owen

Shirt # 20 in 1998 as an 18 yr old

 

[GIMH]

Correct

 

[Goughy]

Hell fire, that means Ive got to think of a question now. Give me a min.

 

[Goughy]

Since WW2 there have been 2 World Cups where the total attendance was less than 1 000 000 (1 million) and one tournament where the total attendance was over 3 000 000 (3 million).

Name the 3 World Cups described above

 

[BoyBrumby]

1954 & 1962 under & 2002 over?

 

[Goughy]

1954 & 1962 under & 2002 over?

One correct but Im not going to say which (I guess this could turn out like the old mastermind boardgame)

 

[GIMH]

I'm gonna guess that 54 was the one under 1 million because well I don't associate the Swiss with big stadia, I may be wrong of course

I'm gonna guess 98 for over 3 million

And the other for low attendances hmmmm 1990? I know the grounds weren't sellous there.

 

[Goughy]

one correct

Summary
1954 & 1962 under & 2002 One correct
54, 90, 98 One correct

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gonna by-pass this prob:

Did 2002 have more than 3,000,000 fans watching it?

 

[Goughy]

No

 

[GIMH]

Let's work together Brumby. 54 or 62 had under 1 million

If it's 62, then that means 98 had over 3 million

My guess is that 54 was under 1 million

A new guess is that 94 was over 3 million

Can't think of the other though

Correct USA '94 had over 3.5 million spectators

 

[BoyBrumby]

Correct USA '94 had over 3.5 million spectators

Surprises me as there were only 24 teams & (counts on fingers, runs out...) 12 less games than 98 & 02.

Did 58 have under 1 million?

 

[GIMH]

Good guess actually, with it being in Sweden

As for 94, well think about it, it was in America, most of the grounds hold about 3 million supporters anyway, it's because most Americans are obese so they need more space, but when normal sized people come to watch sports a whole lot can fit in

Correct.

The answer is 54 and 58 less than 1mil and 94 grater than 3 mil.

[BoyBrumby]

Fair play to the seppos. Impressive average. Way to hussle, dudes!

[Goughy]

First guy to be sent off in a game?

 

[TT Boy]

I know he was sent off against Germany but was he not the first player to kick off in a game where the opposition (USSR) failed to show up because of General Pinochet's regime?

 

[Goughy]

I know he was sent off against Germany

Ahha, I just made a guess on what 1st it could be. Is it correct? In all honesty Ive no idea who the guy is or who he played for.
