Quiz where you have to guess the football (soccer) team from photos of their strips: I did terribly.
And then on a second go through a proper wall at 68. This is going to drive me freaking nuts!

Nope, no way! Can I ask the audiance, use my 50/50, or at least call my phone a friend Mr. Bismarck?

I was thinking we might go for a collaborative effort once everyone's hit the "Mr Bismarck wall", Folkways. I can weigh in with a few lower league English sides (and that's about it).

36 at last count. Pathetic.

I've bumped it up to a still very sorry 46 in the breaks in the cup final, including trying every French team I could think of before getting St Etienne.

I hit the wall at 0.

St Etienne was one of the ones I didn't have yet. Now on 73. The second one on the first page doesn't turn into a tick when you get it right. But the "see bigger picture" option does appear.

86 now and I surrender. Before I go insane. Missing : 1/1 1/3 3/3 3/6 3/10 (This one is really annoying me) 4/1 4/5 4/7 4/8 (Know this is Scottish, don't want to just randomly type in teams till I get it though) 4/10 5/9 6/1 8/7 10/9 If you stick in the email address "batshitinsane@spofi.com" you'll see the 86 I did get. But no cheating now, you'll only be cheating yourself... [disapproving Mrs Badcrumble glare]

I scored one. Arsenal is the only team I know.

I added some and two from igottheblues I didn't have, bringing us up to 92. Saved using the batshitinsane address Mr Bismarck. It's 4/10 that is really getting me.

4/10 is Bristol City.

Good God. I kept thinking it was Denmark for some reason!

Denmark's on another page - the arm chevrons are a dead giveaway.

I shan't even admit how badly I did, and I only got Hamburg cos I recognised Kevin Keegan's bubble perm.

That's exactly how I got Hamburg, Boggis. And I got Bayern because of Oli's giant mouth.

And Scunthorpe through Beefy Botham's ugly mug.

1/1 is Fulham 3/6 is Partick Thistle

They're being a bit sneaky there though - there are a lot of old strips, while there's also a couple of famous teams shown in their away kits. Nice find though. I've hit a wall at 52.
