It was 1938...my memory failed a bit....but I wrote that question for a quiz last week....Sorry got over excited

A fairly easy one... World Cup Willie was the first and of course the best World Cup Mascot....but he was not the only lion mascot..
Which other World Cup also had a Lion as a mascot?

Is that Goleo the lion in 2006, together with a talking football ?

Yes Goleo was the lion in Germany 2006
He doesn't half look like Willie in 3D form to me....apparently his costume was designed by Jim Henson (company)

Cheers Beth. Still on football but away from the World Cup. Which football club designed it's original kit to resemble the shirts originally designed for slaughterhouse workers in Buenos Aires, and taken over by Garibaldi's Redshirts.
 
Not Juventus and their original pink shirts???? Pure guess on my part.. especially as they are Italian ( yes I do have a gandt in front of me!)

It’s the one good thing Nottingham Forest have ever done. Dredged that up from an obscure and little used corner of my brain. Lot of rubbish in there.

Ok, this one is designed to be ungooglable, and as a result is near impossible.

This is the national flower of which country competing in the 2018 World Cup finals?

Any botanists out there, or will we see a stream of random guesses.....

All yours Stan. Garibaldi was once very popular in the UK. and the Florists based their original strip on the uniform worn by his redshirts in South America. They still have a 'Garibaldi' room at the club. Take it away.
