By: Laurie | March 7th, 2009

Hurt. Injured. Crocked. In need of rehab. Rehabbing. Rehabbed. Time to work on your injury-related vocabulary, because this week’s quiz is all about the the Ouch and the Ow.

Leave guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

(Sorry for the late start this morning. I went to bed with a cold, swearing I would leap out of bed at the crack of dawn and get this posted. And…um…yeah. That worked out well.)

"Ginchy," Johonna? Is that a technical, anatomical term?

;-)
Johonna

Hmmm, is 2 Kaka or maybe Boriello? He somehow strikes me as a Milan player.
and
6 is Aquilani. I would recognize those ginchy eyes anywhere.
moka

6 is Aquilani!
Laurie

Okay, fixed now. I was just checking to see if

a) you were paying attention, and
b) you could count to 12. Alex, you pass. :-D
Laurie

Argh. That's a copy and past thing that saves me tons of time in formatting, but I generally remember to change it before posting. Going in to fix now!!
Alex

12 (or is it player 1?) is clearly Freddie Ljungberg
Mike

Laurie, every player is titled as "player 1"

The only player I recognize right away is Fabio Cannavaro
