Welcome to Week 14.
The final international break of the year, and we’re now pretty much exactly 12 months away from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
To mark that milestone, we’ve dedicated an entire round of this week’s quiz to the last World Cup in Russia in 2018. The return to English football of Steven Gerrard takes up another round, while we’ve also got another four questions on international team badges, which is always popular.
You know what to expect now of the first and final rounds.
