Title: World cup quiz
Post by: Bentley Bullet on June 15, 2010, 10:55:23 am
The Jules Rimet trophy was stolen in London prior to the 1966 world cup finals. Who found it?

While many of you will know that, try this one;

Name the twelve countries who have reached the semi finals but failed to appear in a world cup final?

Get it right and set the next question.

Pickles the dog.

Off the top of my head before I can get only 6:

South Korea 2002
Belgium 1986
Bulgaria 1994
Portugal 2006
Turkey 2002
Croatia 1998

I think the rest will pre-date my living memory!
