european?
Yes
15
French?
No
14
Did he play in a world cup?
play can mean squad as well
Yes
15 (I'm discounting Gareth Southgate out of the kindness of my heart)
Probably 1998 given his retirement, guys
potentially 2002
or 1994 tho
^
sneaky clue
Or 1990
Just think 98's most likely.
David Platt
Is he now a pundit?
Yes
13
Has he managed a club?
Not that I'm aware of
although as I'm not sure I won't deduct a question.
Striker?
striker?
Yes to both
12
is he balck?
No
11
Michael Balck? haha
English?
No
10
Andy Townsend
No
9
ally McCoist

play in the Premier League?
never
19

Cascarino
^He probably is English, ignore me
Nah, he's Irish

No
8
Did he play for a london club?
No
7
So
A European striker (not French or English) who retired before 2003 and played in a world cup. And is now a television pundit but wasn't a well-known manager.
And he's white
don't say yes to this
It was a statement
No question mark.
true
but someone mean COULD have said yes.
I would kicked up a shitstorm
*have
I don't think he's been a manager
at all although I might be wrong. Nothing on his wikipedia page suggests he was.
I genuinely thought I had it
until I realised Mark Bright was
a) black
b) English
c) hasn't played in a world cup and
d) was never an international.
Apart from that I think it would have been a good guess...
^clearly this isn't a question.
i was thinking that too
thats why I asked the black question.
thinking too pundit-centric
^ neither is this a question
tho im sure no-one needs to be told
we also know he has never played for any club in London or Liverpool or Man U
Did he ever score an overhead kick?
Do you really want me to answer this one?
Because I really haven't the foggiest. I'd imagine yes at some stage in his life, not necessarily in a game.
Brilliant
Now we know it's not someone who scored a famous overhead kick and it didn't even cost us a question.
:D
Is he British/Irish?
No
6
The only foreign pundit
who fits the bill i can think of Hasselbaink and he's not even retired now.
did he ever play in a world cup final?
Who could that be?
Only an Italian from 94 or a German from 90 really.
or 2002
in theory
yeah but still too specific
ban question
Ok
6 to go still.
shudda said cup final
No
5
he's a pundit? is he on Sky?
has he ever won
a major tournament in england or europe (including league cup)
No
5
Eric Cantona?
NO!
Eric Cantona's never played in a World Cup.
and played for one of the big four.
ht27 - is it fair for me to ask you to ignore guesses which go against what we've already established?
PS not getting at you personally theDailyBumbler.
Also...just realised that we'd established he wasn't french.
It's the second time he asked
and he asked if it was Ted Fenton (which, whilst lolworthy, wasn't a serious response). I think it's fair to get at him personally.
Ok
think of european pundits from 2008 Euros.
I didn't watch all the games
One more clue
as you have 5 questions remaining.
He isn't a pundit on British TV
Fabrizio Ravenelli?
I hate you!
Please discount the sky question?
have done
D:
I feel deceived. Ravenelli?
No
3
Is he from a country
that used to be part of the USSR?
No
4
Fabrizio Ravanelli
ravanelli didnt play in a world cup
can we ignore this one?
italian?
No
2
I think it's game over
really...
after the last question
isn't just a free for all guessing game?
true
but we lost really.
Thomas Brolin?
No
1
who is it?
IS HE ITALIAN
?
Can you ignore my last question?
Please?
