Weekend Quiz Answers: Who Were Those Bundesliga and La Liga Players?

If you haven’t already taken our weekend quiz on Bundesliga and La Liga players, stop by here first. Then come back to this post for the answers.

Player 1

Eric Abidal, FC Barcelona

Player 2

Timo Hildebrand, Hoffenheim

And while I was looking for that photo, I found this one of Timo, which I can’t resist posting. Awwwww.

Player 3

Grégory Coupet, Atletico Madrid

Player 4

Raul, Real Madrid

Player 5

Kevin Kuranyi, Schalke

Player 6

Franck Ribéry, Bayern Munich

(Yes, I included three current or former France NT Players. That’s one of the bonuses about getting to write these quizzes — I get to pick my favorites. Except I shouldn’t have told you that, because now I’ll have to pick a lot of Italian players, just to throw you off.)

Player 7

Julian de Guzman, Deportivo la Coruna

(I knew this would be a tough one, but I really thought one of our Canadian readers would get it, given that de Guzman is probably the first Canadian player to really make it in La Liga. He’s also one of my favorite Canadians to watch on their NT.)

Player 8

Per Mertesacker, Werder Bremen

Player 9

Landon Donovan, on loan to Bayern Munich

(My token US Player for the week! Maybe he’s not technically a “Bundesliga player” in the strictest sense of the word — meaning on the permanent roster — but he did play in the Dubai friendly, and notched an assist.)

Player 10

Carlos Marchena, Valencia

I’m kind of amazed nobody got this one. Is it that the eyes don’t look like the face, or that he’s not really a “glamour” player?

Player 11

Freddie Kanouté, Sevilla

Player 12

Carles Puyol, Barcelona

The easiest one, I think, even though I tried to cut out as much hair as possible.
