Subject: [NT] Quiz

How did I do? :p

I haven't marked them yet. :)

When I do, should I just post the winner? Or should I show how everyone did?

I'm not entering the multiple choice one, because I want to see if I can beat someone without it.

everyone offcourse :)

I will send mine in when i get time over the weekend

Not to rush you, but:

Contest closes May 26 0:00 SK time.

Maybe try the "zig zag". Will probably still beat Mr. Gibbage.

Thanks to all who participated!!!!! The contest is now closed.

Anecdotal

1. 3 out of 5 got this right. Bodger at 63 caps is 6 ahead of Jason Chadwick.

2. 1 out of 5 got this one. There are several players on the roster who haven’t had a cap yet. Grove (back-up U21 keeper) is the only one of the listed players who hasn’t played.

3. 5 out of 5 got this one. Not as easy as it seems tho - Bodger is only one goal ahead of Hird. With any luck, Hird will pot a couple this weekend and take the lead (Bodger out injured).

4. 2 out of 5 got this one. Hird is conspicuous as the only forward in the list, but he’s got twice the assists (14) anyone else has (tho guys like Atkinson & Herbert are making inroads).

5. 2 out of 5 got this one. This was actually the question that made me think an NT quiz would be interesting. Taylor is the second string keeper for his club - after this weekend he will have 17 caps, but only 18 official matches.

6. 0 of 5. Tough question. At 2.5 goals per cap, Bowen is the hands down leader (4 goals in his first match, only 2 caps).

7. 1 of 5. Also tough. Roza (0.93) slightly ahead of Hird (0.91) and Bodger (0.83). Roza has traditionally only suited up against weaker sides, and has had an easier time.

8. 0 of 5. Thought someone would get this one. Herbert has been an assist dynamo this season -

9. 1 of 5. Some venerable names in the list, but Matthews assists per game is twice that of the next closest.

10. 0 of 5. Kind of surprised, I think I would have gotten this one. On the current roster there are 10 former or current Fiery Tigers. 7 for both Deathstrike and 11 Wise Men. 6 for Unbelievers, and 5 for AC Cikini. The Invincibles also have a significant number (5 or 6 I think - didn’t write it down).

11. 0 of 5. I was really surprised when I checked this one. There have only been 2 straight red cards for the New Zealand team (Canada has had waaaayyy more). One to a retired and nameless defender. The other to Robben. Pritchett and Kilkenny have both been ejected, but as a result of yellow accululation.

12. 0 of 5. G the most common (5). Gilbert the only prominent one.

13. 3 of 5. The team has lots of Johns (good for business ladies in the Christchurch area).

14. 1 of 5. Most went for Taylor. He’s great, but hasn’t been around long enough. Alves has 8 (one by default) to Taylor’s 6.

15. 1 of 5. Most on the list debuted at 19. Taylor was 18.

16. 1 of 5. When I wrote the question, I thought it would be Pritchett who has played this season at the age of 29. But Brendon Tribbe played his final NT contest against Colombia at the age of 30.

11. 0 of 5. I was really surprised when I checked this one. There have only been 2 straight red cards for the New Zealand team (Canada has had waaaayyy more). One to a retired and nameless defender. The other to Robben. Pritchett and Kilkenny have both been ejected, but as a result of yellow accululation.

uhhm.. have you checked our last NT match? :P
(edited)

:D I could have sworn that was two yellows. I didn't actually check that match (checked every other NZ match played :P). Oooops.

So B is an acceptable answer for 11. :) I've adjusted the scores. 3 of 5 now scored a point there. Our champ is still the champ.

score! :P
