Football (Soccer) Trivia Questions and Answers

The biggest pool in the bank by a distance — seven hundred questions on the World Cup, the European leagues, the Champions League nights people still argue about, and the players who defined them. It leans on things that were watched rather than things that were tabulated: who scored in a final, which comeback was which, the transfer that made no sense at the time. The easy questions are winnable by anyone who half-follows a tournament every four years. The hard ones assume you remember the group stage. If your table is split between one obsessive and four casuals, this is the topic that keeps everybody in it.
