Football/Soccer quiz questions

Netherlands could've very well been World Cup winners in 1978. During the final, which Dutch player hit the post where he should've scored?
 
Yeah, it looks like that, but it was a bit too much of name rape for me to say "indeed".

It was Rob Rensenbrink.



Which very well known Dutch star (a "vedette" if you will) cancelled for the WC '78 and is still criticized for it?
 
Johannes Cruijff

You happy?

In 2008, he said that it was because his family was almost kidnapped a year before and that he couldn't have concentrated properly for the tournament. Something along the lines of "You have to be 200% concentrated" or some shit like that.
 
It was Van Hanegem, actually. Cruijff had a good reason, Hanegem didn't. Cruijff quit his interland career in early '78. Hanegem played again after '78.
 
oh a trick question

you bastard :)


Yeah, it was cheeky :P

I'm no footy trivia buff at all, so my contributions will be limited to Dutch players, sides, trivia. Figured that one was a nice trick question, hehe


Van Hanegem didn't go because he felt "he would be benched".
 
1995 was the last time Ireland played England in an international game. It was a friendly at Landsowne Road in Dublin. Ireland took the lead midway through the first half.

what happened next? :)
 
half correct :)

an english hooligan group went to the match. combat 18 or some retards like that. After Ireland scored they started tearing up the seats and throwing them on the pitch and into the fans below them. Eventually the irish police came in and absolutely kicked the shit out of them. I love watching the footage of them beating up the hooligans and all the scum leaving the ground covered in blood lol.
 
^I still remember that match. I was pretty new to watching football at that stage and I remember thinking wtf is going on.

I love to see the brits get beaten up... They always start so arrogant, then get the shit kicked out of them.

ie : Arsenal fans against Galastaray's UltrAslan.
