	5/23 Not that bad, would've gotten six if Trezeguet weren't so hard to spell.

	oldkent:	May 22nd, 2009 at 06:22 GMT		0 points
	I only got 2/23, zidane and trezeguet

	Ah i remember watching this entire world cup! 2/23 isn't very good...

	zombifany:	May 22nd, 2009 at 07:52 GMT		1 point
	I also only got not so good score of 2/23. I am still kicking myself for not getting Trezeguet. The club team hints would've been great if only there was more coverage of the sport over here in America.

	ChanandlerBong:	May 22nd, 2009 at 08:20 GMT		7 points
	Hopefully we'll see this for other squads who've won major championships.

	Finally, all those hours of playing Fifa '98 on the PlayStation have paid off! I got 14 but was kicking myself over some of the ones I missed

	lol rich raymond: soccer? no mate this is football, your country plays 'soccer' - a very very lower standard version of the beautiful game

	ZeZapatiste:	May 22nd, 2009 at 09:18 GMT		3 points
	I got 21. The fact that I am French is maybe important :) I missed Djorkaeff and Diomede. We totally forgot them here.

	TeabagYokel:	May 22nd, 2009 at 09:24 GMT		3 points
	Missed Dugarry, Djorkaeff, Candela, Diomede and Boghossian! Still good to get 18! Did Desailly sign for Chelsea straight after the 1998 World Cup?

	ZeZapatiste:	May 22nd, 2009 at 09:41 GMT		2 points
	Yes and Pires signed for Marseille too

	ChanandlerBong:	May 22nd, 2009 at 09:42 GMT		3 points
	Damn you Charbonnier!

	TMB:	May 22nd, 2009 at 10:06 GMT		0 points
	12/23 but missed Thuram & Blanc! Would have got Vieira but I mis-spelt it (no 2nd I)

	Wasim:	May 22nd, 2009 at 10:21 GMT		1 point
	ho ho! my specialty - 23/23 first time. nearly missed pires though!

	Rhys:	May 22nd, 2009 at 10:22 GMT		1 point
	I agree with ChanandlerBong would like to see something similar for all the different world cup winning squads.

	delToro87:	May 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 GMT		12 points
	Yeah, bring on Uruguay's squad from 1930!

	Steesh:	May 22nd, 2009 at 11:28 GMT		3 points
	Stephane Guivarch! The only World Cup winner ever to play for Newcastle! Can't believe i got boghossian and missed the likes of Pires, Thuram and Petit grrrrr

	guyleguy:	May 22nd, 2009 at 12:15 GMT		3 points
	Wow, a whole comments section with no complaints about Sporcle being too USA-centric. How refreshing!

	chambers:	May 22nd, 2009 at 13:21 GMT		1 point
	spelling's an issue with this one for me

	DerKomissar:	May 22nd, 2009 at 14:22 GMT		1 point
	Great idea for a quiz. I'd be really excited if sporcle came out with an Italy 2006 quiz, which, being an Italian, I watched every game of and started throwing things if something bad happened.

	y2jdilemma:	May 22nd, 2009 at 14:23 GMT		15 points
	Too Franco-centric! Should do one for all the times England has won the....oops. 1966 is already a quiz. Has it really been that long? HAHA. Sorry chaps, just poking some fun. Preapred for my -200

	GoonerLover66:	May 22nd, 2009 at 14:45 GMT		2 points
	Bernard Lama, he had one of the greatest leaps for a keeper perhaps only bested by Jeremie Janot!

	Andy_SSE:	May 22nd, 2009 at 14:46 GMT		1 point
	10 - Would have been 15 if I could spell. Good quiz

	France and West Africa won that world cup, not just France.

	guilvarc'h is a bastard to spell who put the apostrophe there!

	Lenzo:	May 22nd, 2009 at 15:25 GMT		1 point
	Amazing how many players I forgot during the past 10 years. Great team though, the majority of which also won Euro 2000.

	ronnymexico:	May 22nd, 2009 at 15:51 GMT		1 point
	If Guivarc'h had any sort of talent, France would've had twice as many goals in that World Cup. I'm surprised Djorkaeff is so low and admittedly forgotten by some of the French commenters, he was always a favorite of mine even though he was certainly past his best days by the '98 World Cup. He played well in the final though, I remember him exposing the overrated Dunga a few times due to his skill on the ball.

	@Jon: No, you played the sport which is fantastic. You just need to work on how it's pronounced. Phoentically it's fo-ot ba-ll

	autigers:	May 22nd, 2009 at 19:10 GMT		2 points
	7/23, spelled Barthez wrong, some of the teams threw me off of some people. Pires for instance i only associate with Arsenal

	JohnJF:	May 22nd, 2009 at 19:32 GMT		6 points
	Why is it that with every football/soccer quiz, there's always one idiot who complains about how much they hate the sport and then there is requisite piling on of their nation of origin?

	flinty:	May 22nd, 2009 at 19:40 GMT		6 points
	how come this is considered a minor quiz on the homepage and all the baseball/basketball/american "football" are major? more people play football worldwide don't they?

	guyleguy:	May 22nd, 2009 at 20:34 GMT		6 points
	JohnJF: Because every sport quiz of the "Big 4" American sports someone says "THIS SITE IS TOO USA-CENTRIC!11!" flinty: Because this is an American site, soccer/futbol is considered minor in America and this is a highly specific quiz about one team, and it's a French team.

	Rom:	May 23rd, 2009 at 00:18 GMT		3 points
	I got 18/23 using the comments. I only would have gotten Zidane, Henry, and maybe Bartez by myself.

	Ash:	May 23rd, 2009 at 01:09 GMT		1 point
	DerKomissar: your english is very good for an italian.

	flinty:	May 23rd, 2009 at 01:21 GMT		2 points
	guyleguy: your last remark made me lol and look at this quiz in a new light :)

	Slugma:	May 23rd, 2009 at 04:08 GMT		2 points
	I'm embarrassed I only got 6 (and misspelled Trezeguet); I loved this team, and it has my two favorite footballers of my lifetime - Zidane and Henry

	Statto2:	May 25th, 2009 at 00:01 GMT		8 points
	@Veni_Vidi_Vidic : of the 22 players in this squad only 2 Desailly (Ghana) & Vieira (Senegal) were born on non-French territory. Of the other 20, Karembeu was born in New Caledonia a French territory a roughly equivalent situation to the Channel Islanders Graham Le Saux & Matt Le Tissier playing for England. Thuram was born in Guadeloupe a French Overseas Department which is as much a part of France as the Isle of Wight is part of England. So, in fact over 90% of the squad are French born! On the other hand I loved the way the multi-ethnic make-up of the team embarrassed the bigot Jean-Marie Le Pen!

	there should be a 4 team italy champions quiz...since we did win it 4 times mi dispiace francese, ma italia e campeoni del mondo!
