I just had the idea that we could have a little quiz on MF. It's kinda simple. I ask a question and the person posts the right answer first can ask the next question. And so on and so on....

Okay, I'll start: A famous (active) Italian football player had interesting plans for the future during his childhood. He wanted to become a gas station attendant. I guess he earns more money now. Who is it?




Btw. I wasn't certain in which section I could post this. Feel free to move it to the Off-topic @ the mods.

Francesco Totti.

(I like the quiz idea!)

Then go on and ask the next question

Okay.

Which currently-active Italian centerback has a twin brother?

Cannavaro

Close but no cigar. Paolo is younger than Fabio.

Alessandro Nesta, but very, very few know it.
His twin brother is actually living in Norway, and hides his identity on a Milan forum behind the name of a fictional conman created by a author living in Wisconsin.
No more hints.

Well done, Locke. A cookie to you for that one.

(Still not the answer I'm looking for).

cristiano and federico del grosso?

Hrm. Technically correct but still not the answer I was looking for.

Here's a hint: the CB in question plays for a northern team in Serie A.

Hmmm...Giorgio Chiellini?

The fish doll gives La Palma a cookie. Your turn!

we all know lapalma will chose something bundesliga related

"I could wait all day, hiding, my feet in the water till a bird shows up. The duck is the animal that fascinates me the most. Maybe I was a one during a former life." A, now retired, Italian player spent his free time with duck hunting. Who?

@Habitant: Maybe next time

Roberto Baggio

*Drum roll*
Congratulations mish Your turn.

Yeah, that part with a former life sounds Baggio-ish...didn't think he'd be into hunting though.

ok....which Serie A club are known as the Crociati?

parma?

correct

Damn that was quick!

ex serie a

who is hailed by the lazio fans as the next Alessandro Nesta?

Lorenzo De Silvestri ?

nope but he's a another promising talent (a left back tho)

this one might be a lil tough but there is a set paramater as he is owned by lazio.

Alessandro Tuia?

yep

i've read up on him, herd some good stuff. encountered his name here and there and he's only 17.

apparently real offered and a few other clubs offered nearmy 10m E for this kid at the age of 16!

Okay then...

I'm the only player in the history of the game to captain my team to a domestic title in three different decades.
Who am I?

WHAT? Get him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, wrong answer.

Tony Adams?

Tony Adams

ARG

Tony Adams

Damn you LaPalma...lol
your go

Yup, Arsenal's Franco Baresi...

Tony Adams is not the right answer!

how come?

You're drunk

Great players always have great nicknames...the Kaisers Beckenbauer and Baresi or Maradona the "Pibe de oro". And some have nicks they'd never ask for. Which German world cup winner is also known as "Tante Käthe" (Aunt Käthe)?

Rudi Voller

Correct.

The question was "Who am I". Lock is not Tony.


And yeah I'm drunk!

Really envy you. I'd like to drink the beer from my personal photo now....

Which player's transfer to Milan in the early 90's caused such a uproar even the Pope of the time commented on the "obscene" transfer fee.

Ahem...Dejan Savicevic?

nope

i've herd this one before but i'm not sure...

Ruud Gullit?

I was gonna say, but that's not early 90's...

Lentini!!
