IWS #137: World Cup Edition

[wbatl1]

I’m With Stupid #137: World Cup Edition - MIJB#19, I feel for you, so here is one you can do! Hopefully those without any soccer knowledge will have a chance because of the format of IWS and the quirky questions. Good Luck to All!

1. Name the World Cup Winner.

2. Name an underrated player.

3. Name a high-profile team that doesn’t make it out of the group stage.

4. Name a food spectators will eat.

5. Name a team that will make an unexpected run.

6. Name the country playing in the finals that has the best looking women.


Submit answers via PM by 5:00 PM, June 1.

Also, if anyone can send me the scoring spreadsheet, I would very much appreciate it. Mention it in your PM

The Rules (copied from IWS #136)

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s honored and cherished founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game, me. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American college graduate. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be technically correct in order to score points. If I ask "who is the greatest band in rock and roll history” and you and three others somehow respond The Beatles, you will score 4 points – even though the correct response is "The Doors".

Scent, although I'm probably going to contend for last.

[fantastic flying froggies]

sent.

And I'm curious to see the results of question #6...

[JeeberD]

I may have to skip this one...

Bah, Meep always plays and answers questions about American stuff. I guess I'll give it a go.

[st.cronin]

I have a plan this time. I cannot lose!

[Raven Hawk]

Snet

[wbatl1]

Back to the 1st Page bump...and if anyone has a spreadsheet to score, please tell me and I'll give you and email addy to send it to. Thanks

[Raiders Army]

sent tense

[KWhit]

Sent. I had no idea on these questions. And I didn't use Google. It will be interesting to see where a totally uninformed person will end up in the rankings.

[MIJB#19]

Back to the 1st Page bump...and if anyone has a spreadsheet to score, please tell me and I'll give you and email addy to send it to. Thanks
PM me your email address and I'll dig up my old spreadsheet from like 60 IWSs back.

[wbatl1]

PM me your email address and I'll dig up my old spreadsheet from like 60 IWSs back.

Done, sir. Thank you very much.

[Desnudo]

Sent. I'm very curious to see the results for this one. I can see several different answers to some of the questions depending on US/Euro background.

[MIJB#19]

Sent. I'm very curious to see the results for this one. I can see several different answers to some of the questions depending on US/Euro background.Well...Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American college graduate.That's the one thing I always try to keep in my mind when thinking up some answers that will bring me unintended last places.

[wbatl1]

Bumpity, Bumpity, Bumpity for the back to work crowd.

[MIJB#19]

bump and run!

“A distinction should be made that [American] football is democratic capitalism, whereas soccer is a European socialist [sport].”

I don't know the source of that quote, but european football is not very socialist if you ask me. The relegation, money spent to win, ect. would be very much against socialist theory.

[wbatl1]

Less than a day left...We have very few replies

[SirFozzie]

tnes

[wbatl1]

Another completely shameless bump...

[Raiders Army]

With very few replies, that's a better chance of winning!

[MIJB#19]

With very few replies, that's a better chance of winning!
Only if you're good at this game. :(

[SirFozzie]

Wombat?

[Butter]

With very few replies, that's a better chance of winning!

YES!!!!

[stevew]

I don't know the source of that quote, but european football is not very socialist if you ask me. The relegation, money spent to win, ect. would be very much against socialist theory.

It was a jack kemp quote about the world cup. The national teams more specifically.

[wbatl1]

one final shameless bump...two hours

[kingfc22]

results?

[wbatl1]

Calculating now...will be up in less than an hour.

[KevinNU7]

Will it though ;)
