It’s the weekend at long last (nearly).
LAST WEEK’S
FRIDAY FOOTBALL QUIZ Episode 125
20 questions ranging from bruised bananas, organisational headquarters, the infamous Eyjafjallajokull eruption effects and, naturally, Alan Shearer: it can only mean one thing (no, we’ve not had a breakdown).
Welcome back, one and all, for the 126th edition of the Friday Football Quiz, the most testing quiz in football by some distance, as we pose teasers that you simply never got on Question on Sport. Please let us know how you got on, and thanks for participating as ever!
Smashing through the Friday Football Quiz is the ultimate warm-up for the weekend, but true football intellect requires keeping that momentum going well beyond that. Can you handle a shift to domestic goalscoring royalty and golden awards heritage? Let’s find out, with more quizzes courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re launching straight into the intersection of elite individual recognition and top-flight dominance. First, we want you to audit decades of English football productivity by naming the top 100 scorers in Premier League history, a trial of consistency celebrating the league’s most lethal marksmen. If your scouting network relies on tactical intuition and squad construction rather than pure statistics, we have a unique puzzle waiting in the tunnel. You can put your visual memory and international awareness to the ultimate test by seeing if you can guess the team from the line-ups’ nationalities. It’s a clever, deceptive examination of iconic starting XIs, transfer history, and geographical footprints that will push even the most seasoned analysts to think outside the box.
Once you’ve conquered those, turn your attention to global stardom and see if you can name every Premier League player nominated for the Ballon d’Or since 2000, before raising the stakes to the absolute summit by identifying every Ballon d’Or winner to have won the World Cup.
And finally, FourFourTwo’s Weekend Crossword 63 is a good’un this week, with posers on Playmakers, Places and Euro ’28.
