Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Italian player Antonio Cassano played for Roma in season 2001-2002. Which was his previous club?

Answer: Bari

Roma, Juventus, Milan and Internazionale were all linked with a move for the 18-year-old, who was banned in September 2000 from talking to the press about his future by Bari president Vincenzo Mattarese. In February 2001, all seemed to become clear when Roma president Franco Sensi confirmed that he had signed the forward on a five-year deal. Cassano labelled the claim 'a lie', but Sensi stuck to his guns and reiterated his comments the following month.
2. He has played in three World Cups: Italia 90, USA 94 and France 98. Who is he?

Answer: Paolo Maldini

Maldini is Mr AC Milan. In 2002 he was third on the club's all-time appearance list (with more than 400 games under his belt) behind Franco Baresi and Gianni Rivera. Maldini became only the second Italian, the first was former Italy coach Dino Zoff, to win 100 international caps when he played against Croatia, and he sailed way past Zoff's total of 112 international appearances after a qualifier against Hungary in September 2000.
3. When did Ajax Amsterdam celebrate their centenary?

Answer: 2000

As they celebrated their centenary in 2000, Ajax could bask in the glory of being one of the most famous clubs in Europe with a reputation for flowing, attacking football known throughout the world.
4. Where do Villarreal play?

Answer: El Madrigal

5. In which year did Ferenc Puskas take Panathinaikos to the European Cup final as coach?

Answer: 1971

Panathinaikos were founded in Athens in 1908. While the majority of league titles went to PAO between 1960 and 1972 it was their European adventures that made history under the management of Hungary and Real Madrid legend Ferenc Puskas. The 1970-71 European Cup provided PAO's fans with their finest hour. Panathinaikos reached the European Cup final in Wembley where they lost bravely by 2-0 to the famous Ajax.
6. Who of the following players did not play in World Cup 1998, held in France ?

Answer: Francesco Totti

7. Brazilian striker Ronaldo was member of the national team and played in the two World Cups USA 94 and France 98: true or false?

Answer: False

In 1994 Ronaldo was only 17 years old, even though he went to USA he did not play in any Brazil's match. In 1998, as you know, he was Brazil's super-star.
8. Brazilian striker Mario Jardel has never played for _________ until 2005?

Answer: Benfica

Will Jardel ever be recognised as one of Brazil's best forwards? He scores regularly enough to warrant consideration, but rarely breaks into his country's first team. The Fortaleza born hit-man consistently notches more than 30 goals per season and is one of the most prolific marksmen in Europe.

In the 6 years from 1996 he amassed over 100 goals, averaging 1.06 goals a game. In 1997-98 he hit 26 goals in 30 matches. And in 1999-00 he won both the World and European Golden Boots, crashing 36 goals in 32 outings.
9. Which of the following players has NOT been named as 'FIFA World Player Of The Year'?

Answer: Gheorghe Hagi

Papin was named in 1991, Gullit in 1987 and Rossi in 1982.

Answer: Maldini- Zoff- Facchetti

Paolo Maldini has played 121 times, Dino Zoff has played 112 times and Giacinto Facchetti 94 times. Baresi, Bergomi and Tardelli had played 81 times each, prior to the 2002 World Cup.
11. Who did Fabio Liverani join Lazio from in 2001?

Answer: Perugia

Liverani joined Lazio from Perugia in September 2001. Within months, this midfielder of Somalian origin became the first black player to represent Italy when he made his international debut against South Africa.
12. For which country does Victor Agali play?

Answer: Nigeria

Agali is a real crowd-pleaser with great technique. Despite his height, Agali is a good dribbler, has decent pace and is not afraid to make his physical presence felt. Made his debut for the Nigerian national team in January 2001 and scored the winner against Zambia in a African Nations' Cup qualifier.
13. Romanian forward Florin Raducioiu was playing for ______ in season 2001-02?

Answer: Monaco

Raducioiu is one of football's great nomads, having played for seven teams in five countries. His most successful spell came early in his career when he stayed with Dinamo Bucharest for five seasons in a row between 1985 and 1990. Since then he has changed clubs at a rate of nearly one a season, the only exception a two-year stay at Espanyol.

He also represented Bari, Verona, Brescia, Milan, West Ham and Stuttgart at one time or another.

15. Paul Scholes has played only for Manchester United: True or False?

Answer: True

Blessed with the knack of bagging vital goals at club and international level, Scholes has become something of a talisman for both Alex Ferguson and Kevin Keegan. He made his league debut with United in 1994, and by the following year was a regular in the side.
16. True or False: Brazilian forward Giovanni was member of the national team in France 98?

17. For which of these teams has Alen Boksic played?

Answer: Lazio
