   Question 2
   X is an all-female-fronted football podcast and website with an active and engaging
   social media presence.
   Lynsey Hooper, Kait Borsay and Hayley McQueen head up the podcast, with a 30-
   strong team of volunteers behind-the-scenes creating and curating content to
   actively promote female inclusion in all elements of football.
   Born out of frustration at the lack of representation of women in the industry, X has
   been going since 2012 with the aim of creating one space for football, regardless of
   gender.
   X here is a phrase commonly said to be used against female football fans where they
   are asked to explain X to 'prove' the veracity of their following of the game. Give X

   Question 3
   Media personality X is known for his outspoken views and controversial comments
   and they have got him into trouble on more than one occasion. His tweets during the
   second match of the 2013 Ashes in Adelaide reached a critical mass when he
   branded England’s batsmen ‘scaredy cats’ as they capitulated against Aussie fast
   bowler Mitchell Johnson and told them to ‘grow a pair’.
   In reply, retired Australian bowler Y challenged X to an over of his bowling in the nets.
   Since he had barely been retired for a year and was still consistently bowling for Big
   Bash League side Sydney Sixers, Y had not yet lost any of his pace.
   Y showed no mercy as four of the six deliveries hit X on the body, leaving him with a
   broken rib. Sir Richard Hadlee later called the incident “a dangerous and unnecessary
   stunt”. ID X and Y.

   Question 5
   Four-time Olympic gold medalist sprinter Michael Johnson has been quoted as
   saying he believes X descendants make superior athletes -- and that such a
   controversial topic shouldn’t be avoided but discussed openly as the world begins to
   turn its attention to the 2012 London Olympics.
   “All my life I believed I became an athlete through my own determination, but it’s
   impossible to think that being descended from X hasn’t left an imprint through the
   generations,” he is quoted as saying in an article in the British newspaper the Daily
   Mail. “Difficult as it was to hear, X has benefited descendants like me -- I believe there
   is a superior athletic gene in us.”

   Question 6
   X, is a non-contact, cheap and widely accessible team sport developed in 1968.
   Played in over 100 countries worldwide, X requires all the components of any great
   sport: a combination of athleticism, skill, and strategy.
   It is often regarded as the pinnacle display of sportsmanship. That’s because the
   sport is entirely self-officiated, meaning it has no official referees. As a result, the
   game demands a high degree of honesty and respect between the players to work
   properly.
   While these are the qualities for an ideal Olympic sport to uphold and promote, many
   consider X to be a joke and a quasi-sport. ID X.

    Question 8
    Keshav Dhuri, a resident of Panjim, started a Cafe Tato, small eatery in the city in the
    early 1900s. The eatery, named after Dhuri’s nickname has since grown and today
    has outlets in the cities of Margao and Vasco besides Panjim.
    The eatery has been in the news of late owing to a certain celebrity giving it a visit for
    some ‘great Goan breakfast’.
    Who is the celebrity in question?

    Question 9
    FITB
    After an excellent start, Alfa’s 2022 season has hit a stumbling block and the team
    have failed to score a single point in five consecutive races. Team boss Vasseur was
    asked if it was a run of bad luck that was the reason behind them falling away, but
    the 54-year-old pinpointed other contributing factors.
    “There’s no such thing as luck or bad luck with DNFs. Sometimes it was technical,
    sometimes the engine, sometimes ______” he said during the team principals’
    press conference at the Dutch Grand Prix.

    Question 10
    Union and Hertha, two city rivals, hadn't competed against one another in the
    Bundesliga in more than 40 years until Union was promoted in 2019. Hertha requested
    that the game be played on November 9, 2019, the 30th anniversary of a specific
    incident, to highlight their first derby in the top division in a very long time.
    Union refused, calling the game a "football class struggle", leading to the game being
    played a week earlier. What incident is being referred to?

    Question 11
    Sensing their opportunity to stage a bit of a creative PR stunt, the Nando's restaurant
    in the city of _ pounced upon the big news on 8 May 2013 and announced that in
    tribute to _____’s retirement, they would be staying open an extra five minutes
    longer than usual to allow for "X".

    Question 13
    France found themselves in a playoff game against Ireland to even qualify for the
    2010 World Cup – something that the French likely didn’t anticipate. Regardless,
    France managed to win the first game in Ireland to the tune of 1-0. And in the return
    leg in Paris, the Irish were beating France by 1-0 until the Thierry Henry did X in the
    buildup to the winning goal.
    Some would say that this changed the course of history, which it did, just not in a
    groundbreaking way – unless you ask an Irish football fan that is. But beyond the
    altercations on the pitch and the change of which team arguably deserved to qualify,
    this event had other consequences that people don’t always recognize.
    What did Henry do, which would not have happened in modern football given the
    introduction of VAR?

17. 17

    Question 14
    An uncompromising centre-half on the pitch and a gent off it, the 1958 World Cup
    Brazil skipper, Hilderaldo Luiz Bellini was the first player to start the tradition of X– a
    gesture thought to be a tad extravagant back then.
    He initially did this so that photographers could have a better view of the trophy and,
    as the photos were published around the world, the gesture became associated with
    victory.
    What is the tradition X?

    Question 15
    FITB and ID the person who said this
    “I come to training and everybody saw me with bad _."
    "Everybody was talking about the _ and forgot about the injury. I could stay more
    calm and relaxed and focused on my training."
    "I'm not proud about the _ itself because it was pretty strange. But it was a good
    way to change the subject."

19. 19

    Question 16
    The Battle of Santiago, is a term associated with the 1962 World Cup match played
    between Chile and Italy on 2 June 1962 in Santiago. It gained its nickname from the
    level of violence seen in the game, in which two players were sent off, numerous
    punches were thrown, and police intervention was required.
    Commentator David Coleman described the match as, “…the most stupid, appalling,
    disgusting and disgraceful display of football, possibly in the history of the game”.
    Even after retiring in 1963, the British referee, Ken Aston, continued to remember this
    game.
    What followed, quite appropriately, given the incidents in this game?

    Modern football managers frequently use X to tactically impact the game. While the
    Laws of the Game initially allowed X during games in 1958, there are documented
    examples of X being allowed earlier in circumstances of serious injuries or players
    failing to show up.
    It is remarkable that X was first used in World Cups in the 1970 edition of the
    tournament given it was in practice in most football leagues. ID X
