Trivia thread, the revival

[gary69]

That is not correct.
A big football country hasn't been suggested. And is usually qualified for most WC or EC.

Not Belgrade.

I meant European countries that could be reasonably be expected to fullfil the criteria.

Interesting to see which country it is. Whatever it is, it'll be unexpected at least to me, since all European countries left have several football hotbeds/areas/cities.

Think of a big football country, but rather small geographically speaking.

South Holland

Surprising that it's in Holland, since they have 3 traditional areas Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Rotterdam producing lots of players. And then other areas as well usually produsing some. I wouldn't have guessed Rotterdam and it's area would have produced that many. Maybe it was an exceptional case just in this squad.

Is there a website where we can see the produsing areas of all the final tournament players? And what was the exact criteria they used for produced (most years in club Y before the age of X, or was it something else)

Sorry it was a Tweet I don't have the breakdown.

Okay, out of curiosity I checked the Dutch squad from Wikipedia and counted 9, maybe 10 players from South Holland area. So I would ike to know what criteria they used.

Thanks, so they mentioned that their source was Transfermarkt and the criteria was the city/place where the player was born.

Bayern and Atletico?

 

[Power Man]

Bayern and Atletico?

Bingo, 1974.

This is the only European Cup/Champions League final to have been replayed.

Both games were played in the same venue (Heysel stadium)

 

[luiginb]

You sure number 3 isn't Ronnow? Don't know of any other dane goalie in the Bundesliga but the Union goalie.

 

[Evilo]

Oops sorry, one more point for you !

2- MATS 80.6

5- Samba, 78.4

 

[Power Man]

Serie A, Meret?

 

[luiginb]

Serie A, Meret?

I'd be very surprised, I always saw him as Napoli's main weakness, alongside the right wing posion. Provedel?
