    I misread the question and said the first thing that popped into my head! I think it’s the only World Cup that a team was knocked out without conceding anyway, so I’ll put forward the question
    What country was the only team eliminated from the World Cup without conceding in the tournament!?

    new zealand?

    No, but I’m pretty sure they went out without losing a game in a World Cup recently enough with 3 draws

    No that's not it. The one you see on the TVs is the real door alright.

    Almost - there's one missing.

    Technically Delaware was named after a river that was named after Baron De La Warr - I'd accept it anyway:-)

    By far the hardest question I have ever had in a pub quiz was in a pub in Germany, when they were hosting the 2006 world cup. It was

    Name last years champions of the highest football league in each county that borders germany.

    Brilliant, and timeless, question but rock hard. There were loads of football fans pulling their hair out.

    You have me confused then or else our definition of a clearance is different.

    A clearance for me is 15 reds, 15 colours and all the colours. That makes 72 so your definition has me stumped.


    What if you miss all colours, your opponent misses them to and only pot half the reds?
