I thought it might be the first opponents of the last 4 England managers but hodgson didn't fit (wasn't his firstgame vs France? ). Whose first games were v Scotland and Ireland?

Nothing more than that (like double winners, host winners etc). The other groups categories aren't close I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I am going to give the 4 categories so you can get the answers, then we can call move on and pretend this didn't happen. World Cup Winners Countries in England's current World Cup Qualifying group International footballers with surnames that are nations Countries that Graeme Souness has managed in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 You sly old dog Bridgford, I'd never have got the surnames group, anyway, here's my guesses in that category, England, Scotland, Ireland and Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be sly, I might be old but I'm no dawg. 3 out of 4 there. I considered Jason Scotland but didn't think he was an international and needed 'Scotland' elsewhere.

Mostyn6 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 was tough, usually when I see the Wall, there are obvious differences, but 16 countries is very hard. I thought my thinking was quite good. Although wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm going back to the final round in Only Connect for a bit (while I think of another wall).
