Listen to the live version, it's brilliant.

Actually, I'm not sure I've ever heard the studio version.

Nearly always live, sure he changes the lyrics around sometimes too.. same with Delirium Tremons, that has so many different versions

Drew the rest

Or, to put it another way, we got to the quarters without winning a single game!

Interestingly, four teams that played in Italia '90 didn't exist by the time of USA '94. Anyone care to name them?

Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Soviet Union are three anyway

Correct.

West Germany?

Oh, mixed up snooker and darts? To be fair few soccer players are known for their intellect.

Correct.

east & west germany merged around that time too.

West Germany maybe

@Barna77 and @cee_jay if you both want to play on today with the next question then we can. If either of you are busy we can wait until tomorrow or Monday?

Did we say West Germany yet?

Think we played in the group stages in against England in Cagliari.. not sure where the others were played

Gun to my head for that question I would have answered Bari. Thank you @Trigger for a very confident phone a friend answer.

I guessed Bari too. No particular reason, was just drawn to it as a best guess. Checked afterwards, and we didn't play any of our games there, so not sure what in the back of my head was drawing me to it.

Welcome back. Question 13 is worth 250,000 Euro, you don't have to play it if you don't want to.

Let's see the question

[attachment=262]

Miles? Metric!!

(wouldn't make much difference anyway...)

I refuse to believe that anyone knows the answer to that

I definitely don't.

Miles. It's in the question.

thanks @Trigger for your help, I had a vague idea of the right answer. But about soccer and that silly olé olé olé (I call it cultural appropriation), my mind goes blank 

I'm getting beers in town this evening I'll send you some. Kol's €125k might afford a few pints

If only Prof. Brian Cox were playing this game. Bet he knows!

I've no idea so I won't guess in case either cee_jay or Barna ask the audience.

you posted a post in the numbers counting thread that more or less has the answer to this, it was todo with ratios between size of earth, distance to moon and distane to sun. now, but try to recall that info

Forgot about that. Though I actually think I know the answer. At least, knew it in kilometers and was able to convert.

We getting the answer tonight?

Answers are in, it was the audience in control again, did you throw more players under the bus

I asked Mr CJ just there what his answer would be, and he was shocked I didn't know it. He said even if I didn't know it I should have been able to work it out, given the time taken for light to travel from the sun to earth and the speed of light. He contends just knowing this song would solve it for me.

Ask the Audience

The Earth is approximately how many miles away from the Sun?
A. 3.9 Million 0%
B. 39 Million 0%
C. 93 Million 75%
D. 193 Million 25%

Thank you audience!

Yep. 300K km/s, and 8 mins for light to reach earth. And convert to miles.

Do you all want to play tomorrow, since it is just 2 left and no lifelines, should be fine for me though whatever you guys decide.

I can play if others are free!

If there's no lifelines then you really only need Cee-Jay and Barna, but I'll be around anyway to watch.

i'll watch too

Welcome back. This is question 14 of 15.

Lets play, Who wants to be a FoG millionaire?

PS. I have ditched the time limit on the last 2 questions, so answer whenever you are ready
