Weekend Quiz: It’s All About the Injuries

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.

The following players have experienced serious injury in the past year-ish that took (or is currently taking) them out of play for at least one month.

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.)

  Laurie, every player is titled as “player 1″

  The only player I recognize right away is Fabio Cannavaro

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

  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!!

  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.

  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.

  “Ginchy,” Johonna? Is that a technical, anatomical term?
