Re: Quiz Question

I can't work out what this is, but I'm assuming something to do with finalists in major tournaments, as I Know Yugoslavia were runners up in the Euros twice.

I'll guess Spain.

Yeah, you’re right. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Is the sequence chronological I wonder?

No idea, but I am intrigued. I think RJK needs to dangle a clue...

They're all countries Donald Trump has a "strategic" claim on, so to complete the sequence, it has to be Greenland. (put my prize in the post)

I'm currently schlepping around a non-European country whose heaviest-ever defeat was against Hungary. The result was 9-2.
P.S. I just passed the old national stadium five minutes ago.

Re: Quiz Question

Well and truly stumped. I’m convinced it’s something to do with the WC but I know Yugoslavia never got to a final. So how do they fit in?!!! I’ll keep thinking………

Re: Quiz Question

Apologies all - I completely forgot about this

On the miniscule chance anyone's still interested - the answer is that this is the progression of which nation has scored the most total goals in world cup history.

France, Yugoslavia and Argentina were all in the 1930 tournament
then italy in 1938 before Brazil took over.

Germany briefly had scored the most after the 2014 world cup - but it's back to Brazil now.

A follow up question was going to be during which tournament did England pass Hungary's total number of goals scored - and surprisingly (well I thought so) the answer is 2018
