South Park Quiz: Who’s That Footballer?
A Dutch site (crack linkbait fellas, well done) has put together a competition where they’re asking you to guess the names of 28 South Park ‘characters’. The twist is that these are modeled after actual players, and if you’re as culturally (read footballing-wise) uneducated as me, you’ll have some trouble in getting all the names right.
So…have a look, and share your thoughts / answers below (for those who haven’t done it, try it first before you cheat 
).
Hat tip to the neighbourhood Manchester United blogger for sending me the link.

November 1st, 2007 @ 10:30how do u check the answers?
Well, one, you enter them in the boxes below each picture and press ‘check’ – if it goes green, you got it right.
I got maradona (lol), davids, ronny, barthez, beckham (lol)…and I know cisse’s there but I can’t match the right pic to him

Nice Quiz!
November 1st, 2007 @ 12:06The 2 Ajax guy are quite easy, me too cant find the black guy with a slash on his shirt.

So far have the following :
Rooney, Baggio, Cech, Riijkard, Abel Xavier, Edgar Davids, Barthez, Cisse, Georgie Best, R De Boer, F De Boer, Valderrama, Gullit, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Maradona…12 to go…
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:28add Caniggia, Higuita, Voller to that list
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:33One of them is Paul Breitner. I’d recognise those mutton chops anywhere!
Abel Xavier is in there too.
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:37Also added Babel (nice one…),
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:40Rudi Voller
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:43Platini
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:48Its a little annoying that you have to get the name spellings EXACTLY right. Couldn’t spell Valderrama correctly
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:49Add Ravanelli.
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:50I would have never got Fabrizio Ravanelli w/o your help Hugo.
November 1st, 2007 @ 13:52Alexi Lalas with the guitar

November 1st, 2007 @ 14:07Ok i need help with my last 3 – the blonde bearded guy, dark guy with black t-chirt & white sash, goalie in the super hero costume – help anyone?
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:15OK on a hunch i typed in Romario – & he’s the guy in the black t-shirt with white sash & bongoes!!
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:17Well done – Mr Drowsy in his Vasco shirt
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:18I am stuck on the same two as you Spiral… I have tried every single great keeper I know… from Zoff to Buffon to Tomaszewski to Casillas lol
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:19Jorge Campos = flamboyant clothes
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:20I tried Chilavert & Hislop & no go. Who was the Peruvian goalkeeper in the ’78 World Cup? Might be him.
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:20Cheers Rook! 1 more to go
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:21Cool thanx! Now just have the blonde bearded guy left…

November 1st, 2007 @ 14:21any idea who the blonde beard dude might be? feyenoord player is all i can make of him…
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:22Ditto… and I have tried all of the great feyenoord players I can think of… he looks dutch or belgian
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:23I have all of them except for the Superhero,the long blonde next to the superhero and the bongo player with the black shirt white sash.
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:28Thought it might have been Kindvall, but to no avail
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:32He looks more Tuetonic to me. KNow any Feyenoord players who are notorious for their gambling?
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:32Nope… and I have to stop neglecting my work soon!
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:37YAY! John De Wolf!!!!!!
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:38Did he have a gambling problem?!
I suppose playing for Wolves does count.
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:40Phew! The last ones were really taxing…
Thanks to everyone for their help.
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:43Nice work guys
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:43Any clues about the superhero?
Hint: The bongo player is in fact a Samba man from Vasco da Gama

November 1st, 2007 @ 14:48try not to look at the answers… spoils the fun… =P i’d say, without help i would have missed out on 3 of them only…
November 1st, 2007 @ 14:51Great fun.
Will people ever forget Rijkaard’s spitting incident?
November 1st, 2007 @ 15:26I tried Stuart Pearce and Paul Scholes before I got Rooney, that is probably the least convincing one.
November 1st, 2007 @ 16:37only breitner i didn’t got… don’t know him… :S
November 2nd, 2007 @ 01:08Loved this quiz, knew about 1/2 of them on my own. Had no idea who many of the oldschool dudes were.
