Week 13.
So here we are then: the final international break of the calendar year. This time, it’s a good one, where plenty of countries across Europe can confirm their spots at next year’s World Cup.
To mark such a momentous time, this week’s pub quiz has a couple of rounds which have been heavily influenced by the international break. One looks ahead to the 2022 World Cup; another looks at international managers.
There’s the usual stuff thrown in too – a quick look at the week that was and the final round – as well as a bonus round on pixellated FIFA cover stars.
Go on. Get to it.
