The Friday Question
Last week I asked how many team jerseys I own, both club (Coventry City) and country (England, of course). Special thanks to Moira for her mention of Coventry’s glorious win over Spurs in the ’87 F.A. Cup Final (see the picture of Keith Houchen’s spectacular goal above)! As it happens, I haven’t got the 87 Cup Shirt (something I need to rectify methinks) although I do have the ’87 -’89 home shirt on which the badge proudly declares the team the 87 Cup Winners. Anyway, on to the business in hand, I have 4 different England shirts and 7 different Coventry shirts giving a total of 11 and a winner …. Scott Scharf, come on down! Congratulations sir, you win a growler of Bulldog Bitter and a few bottles of beer from whichever country wins on Sunday (hmmm, Netherlands or Spain, I’m going to have to do some research for this one, unless anyone out there has any suggestions?)
On to this week’s question and the last of the World Cup. You’ve got until kick-off on Sunday to get your answer in … the question is, of course, what will be the final score of the 2010 World Cup Final at full time (this includes any extra time played but excludes any possible penalty shoot-out) and who are the goal scorers (all of them)? The winner gets a growler of Bulldog Bitter, a couple of Oliver pint glasses and a t-shirt. Have at it & good luck.

Viva Espana! 2:1 Spain over Holland. Villa and Iniesta for Spain and Kuyt for the Dutch
2-1 Holland. Robbin, Sneijder for the Dutch and Villa for Spain.
Netherlands wins, 2-1, with Dutch goals from Sneijder and Van Persie, and the Spanish goal off the foot of Villa.
As for Dutch beer, the choice should clearly be Bavaria Brewery (even though I doubt it’s any good) because FIFA is threatening to sue them:
