    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)

    Though it was a fair response to an exceedingly poorly thought through question.

    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.

    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.

    Erythrina crista-galli? I think it's Argentina's national flower too.

    Bloody hell, I’m in shock.


    There must be a way to search on pictures that I’m not aware of.

    Right click on the photo and you get a list of options, 'search google for this image' is one of them. :emoticon-0131-angel
