I got 20, and to my disgust I didn't get the American Idol one. :thumbdown:

Footballers with over 100 caps.

ODI cricket countries

A bit tougher than I was expecting. 21/25, one very annoying miss and three others that I don't think i would ever have got.

I got 21/25 too - but got all the proper ODI countries, and didn't get the four "made-up" teams (with, respectively, 3, 4, 6 and 7 ODIs to their name).

German Cities

14/20... hmm, I need to know the Ruhr Valley a bit better...!

African Capitals

36/53... bit disappointed with that. Not as easy as it looks!

Matt

I got 22, including the made up one from 1975, the benefit of old age I guess. And didn't think of the other 3.

Matt

I got the made up one from the 1970s (no idea how that has stuck in my head) but missed Dwayne Leverock et al... :doh:

13/20 for Germany, must try harder!

Full marks for Africa, but that is helped by the fact that I've done world capitals seven times now :unsure: (with a best of 182/195)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I got the made up one from the 1970s (no idea how that has stuck in my head) but missed Dwayne Leverock et al... :doh:

Same here, but also missed the latest one, and one from 2004 making 19/25

Random fact alert. The 1975 team was captained by the father of Essex "stalwart" of the 80's & 90's Derek Pringle.

Matt

I also got 21/25, but got two of the "made up teams" didn't get the ones who'd played 3, 11, 4 and 6 (despite the latter having played against one of the made-up teams).

Probably, and if it does I just hope I remember the answer.

Greatest Britons

A poor 60/100 for me, although in mitigation there are some ****ing ridiculous people in there, some of whom aren't even British.
