Title: A Simple Question? Post by: Dani Versace on May 30, 2006, 11:50:01 AM Howdy Peaps
A simply world cup trivia question. Can you tell me three italian footballers that have played for the national team(past and present) whos surname DOESNT end in a vowel. Answer shortly, if you dont get it. Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: mjrevie on May 30, 2006, 11:54:22 AM Buffon would be one. If i understand the question right that is.
Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Dani Versace on May 30, 2006, 11:59:48 AM you got the easy one
Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Triple X on May 30, 2006, 12:01:07 PM tough question
i am determined not to google it Got Buffon and what about Pietro Viechowood the old defender c. 1990. If they are both right i am struggling on the third. but bear with me.... Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Triple X on May 30, 2006, 12:06:02 PM hold on what about Dino Zoff??
Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Dani Versace on May 30, 2006, 12:09:40 PM surprised you got viechowood CONGRATS TRIPLE X ;applause;. their is on more to my knowledge but i dont think he appeared in a world cup though but did play for the national team
Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Triple X on May 30, 2006, 12:12:50 PM i cant believe they are the only 3 - am sure as a kid i remembered seeing viecherwod in at least one world cup - cant remember whether it was 82,82 or 90 - they all blend in a bit.
Wasnt he Russian or something? Am sure someone with far more knowledge will tell me Title: Re: A Simple Question? Post by: Dani Versace on May 30, 2006, 12:19:42 PM i think your right, his father was russian,same as Zoff only his father was Polish i think
