Good collection of topics today, @Mi-Amigo - I fully expect a question on pastizzi soon 😂

[Cleoriff]

Not a bad quiz @Mi-Amigo ....the one I will struggle with is the football question. Needs some thought! 😂

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees @pgn @Cleoriff 

Pleased you like some of the questions...

Huge clue to football question - the answer was mentioned during this World Cup 2022

[RafaC]

Like some of them too, but the football one is the easiest for me there. Most of the others are guesses and I haven't got a clue about the music one 😕

PM on its way @Mi-Amigo 

[Cleoriff]

I've worked out the football question now (I hope).

Also agree with @TallTrees, the final between France and Argentina was one of the best I've seen.

Lionel Messi was superb and doesn't behave as a God, like Cristiano Ronaldo!!

PS wandered off topic there....😂

Thank you @pgn

pm with your answers received

btw off-topic - @TallTrees  @Cleoriff 

I agree World Cup Final was brilliant and Messi so deserved to lift the trophy for Argentina. As said, he didn`t behave or think himself a god like Ronaldo, but is a legend. Also I was pleased France lost.
