Weekend Quiz: Title Races!

By: Laurie | April 18th, 2009

For our weekend quiz this week, I think I’ll build on this post of Daryl’s on the season’s most interesting title races.

All of these players play for clubs that appear to have a chance of challenging for the titles in their domestic leagues.

(And I wasn’t scientific about this. I did not go in to determine exactly how many points Team B would have to pick up vs. who and how many games they have to play. I will leave that to bigger stats geeks than I. All I will say is that your basic, average person looking at the table would say that these players’ clubs might have a shot.)

As always, leave guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

  #6 looks a lot like Trezeguet, but I think it is indeed Benzema.

  I totally recognize #8 but i can’t think who it is. For some reason i don’t think its a footballer.

  I suck at this every time, but a hint is that 7 cannot be Hleb.
