Thank you!

Had to think hard about that one, but I know Blanc had some kind of nickname like that. Didn't know one or two of the others though.

    Now it's January so here are the final answers. You managed to answer all but one, # 12.

    - Frank Rijkaard

    2. Which team started and ended Milan's not losing streak in 94?
    - Parma

    3. Which english attacker was not warned a single time during his career which lasted from the 80's to the early 90's?
    - Gary Lineker

    4. What metall is the Serie A trophy made of?
    - They don't have any trophy in Serie A, you get this badge that you put on the chest.

    5. Which player made his comeback after a years absence in the WC 94 final and had a crucial part to its outcome?
    - Franco Baresi.

    6. Which player is known as the "Butcher in Sevilla"?
    - Schumacher. He got the nickname after kicking down the french defender Battiston during WC 82 in Spain.

    7. Why was Paolo Rossi away for two years before the WC 82?

    I fail to see how Associazione Calcio Milan sounds less italian than Football Club Milan.

    Must be another of those obscure reforms taken by the Duce for the well-being of the italian people. Anyway, I guess I'll do some research on the topic, as even a die-hard milanista like myself was not aware of it.

    I actually don't know why AC should be less italian than FC but we all know Mussolini wasn't the smartest man on earth.

    Has anyone ever heard Mussolini speak, his voice is kind of funny. He talks in front of 100.000 people and tries to give some kind of encouraging speech but his voice is so high that it just sounds funny. :)
