England Misery Quiz: Win a Shirt!

Are you a depressed England fan that is wallowing in misery after yet another early exit from an international tournament?  Well perk up!  Thanks to the folks over at ESPN, I've been graciously provided with some free merchandise from their "One Game Changes Everything" line to give away to USSD readers, and this shirt will help you Three Lions fans remember happier times:

But there's only one England shirt up for grabs (size: men's large), so you'll have to earn it by earning the top score on this quiz that recounts some of England's past failures.  If you can remember all of these answers, you surely have suffered enough, so you deserve a shirt to help cheer you up.

And hey, it's not just for England fans; all footy fans can win, so be sure to submit your answers via email to US.Soccer.Daily@gmail.com if you want to take home this shirt (quite soft, I must say).

For now, I'll set a deadline of Tuesday at noon to get your answers in, and partial credit will be awarded for questions with multiple answers.

Spread the word!
