Yes, welcome, welcome, welcome. Welcome along to the sherry segment on a multitude of platforms. It's the scintillating, it's the stupefying, splendido, crappy quiz.
Every week we pick three OTB cranks off the scrap heap of trivia and pit them against each other in a quiz of sporting factoids at the end of the week. We had a week off last week, far more rare than it used to be, thankfully, but the musical chairs of presenters continue.

Chapter 3: What unique trivia is featured in the World Cup quiz?
I'm delighted for a World Cup quiz. I've been getting into the mood of it this week, especially after I've seen Ben Syme's social video calling out for Panini stickers. Yeah. And he's going to make a little community, or the collective is going to try and make a little community of swapping World Cup stickers.
Something I kind of haven't done since I've been about six years old, but fair play to him all the same.
Yeah, absolutely. Three Grant Hanley's if anybody wants them. That's a call out there.
I believe Jared Bowen is in the England collection, is he? Is he? Because all these have to be done before. Yeah, yeah.
There's a lot of famous people who didn't make squads who are like, you know, but USA 94 was my sticker collection. Yeah. That's great, isn't it?

Chapter 4: How do the contestants react to the quiz questions?
Apparently the whole panel, not just the starting team, will be out on pitch for the anthems at World Cup games. Oh, rugby style?
Yeah.
But the whole thing.
At the centre circle. like not even just the subs as well like the whole squad I think everybody's a sub though aren't they everyone's a sub but it's like basically three times the size panel will be on the pitch so Bowen will just be there bring Bowen along stick him out there Patriotic World Cup I think it's sponsored by someone as well innit
to rock up as in that actual event of course it is the anthem is brought to you by Coca-Cola someone else we're in America after all allow me to now formally introduce you to today's purveyors of the sporting industry you've heard from them all but first up is a man who's scouring around for some new opposition in this quiz of ours he's put the good doctor into retirement he's put me back into the presenter chair and when he came into the studio today he saw the breadth of his domain and wept for there were no quizzes left to conquer
Please welcome David the Fountain Wilson. It's funny you say that because the last quiz I was on, I lost. Yeah, do you know what? I did remember that half way through the script and decided, you know, it's only the quiz, it doesn't really matter, you know, accuracy isn't that important. Exactly, exactly that. Of course, though, there are always quizzers.
left to conquer and one of them is relishing this quiz of World Cup's past and it's not the scores and scorers where he'll thrive though no no let's face it this is there isn't a sports story from before 1970 that this man hasn't chewed Pat Kenny's ear about over the last couple of years and not just on air he's been known to just appear in a sinister fashion as Pat's getting his morning coffee with a fat book in hand and a knowing smile ready to impart some unwanted knowledge on our most cherished broadcasting legend
Hoping for specialist rounds and the type of leather used in World Cup balls and the strange case of Mexican conquistadors that almost ruined the 1934 World Cup.

Chapter 5: What interesting facts are shared about past World Cups?
Please welcome Cameron. Who's that coming over the hill?
Hey, great to be here. Thanks. That is one of the longest intros. You really did spend time doing this.
Yeah, this was good. Good intro though. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I'll ring Pat and he'll be like, oh, is this for the shows? Oh yeah, maybe actually. Yeah, good point.
Those conquistadors, though. Ah, tell you what. Strange that they were trying to ruin the 1934 World Cup, which was in Italy.
Chapter 6: What challenges do contestants face during the quiz?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 400 years later.
Yeah. Los San Patricios, yeah. Spain's the real empire.
Okay. Finally, we have a very simple philosophy here in Off the Wall Towers. If you're good enough, you're old enough. And not, by the way, the other way around, which almost everyone says, but makes literally no sense.
Do you notice that? Yeah.
If you're good enough, you're old enough, people say. Oh no, sorry, that is the correct one. They say if you're old enough, you're good enough, which is bullshit. Because I'm old enough and I'm certainly not good enough.

Chapter 7: How does the scoring work in The Crappy Quiz?
Okay, anyway, Jose Peckerman was too much of a coward to use his prodigy at the 2006 World Cup, but we'll never make that mistake. If it's too early and it ruins his future in quiz and career, well, that's just a risk we are willing to take. Please welcome, for his crappy quiz debut, Ross the Prodigy Flanagan.
Oh. Prodigy. Hopefully a fire starter.
hey nice so Ross we gave David the fountain moniker in his first quiz because of our hope for his quizzing uh
prowess and it didn't start too well I would say David but look what's become you know what I mean he got those early reps under his belt those early caps putting in those kind of like you know those first 10-15 caps in an Irish shirt slash crappy quiz seat you know paved the way for him now to become one of the leaders of the show so you know I wouldn't say one of the leaders but it's a bit like what Mason Mealy you know he'd come on for like two minutes there last week and he might get 20 minutes maybe tonight and
But I think you're in more Detroit Parrot role now and Ross is Mason Media.
It's awful good of you to invite me on for Ross' first quiz just as kind of an easy target. I feel like in those heats in the 100 metres in the Olympics where the first heat is always the two lads from American Samoa and one of the grand staff. I feel like I'm... No, no, no, no.
It's better than that. You're when England recall Jordan Henderson because 26 is a big squad and they don't actually need all 26 players, but they want vibes.
You know what I mean?

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts and conclusions from the episode?
It's a very important person. I'll take that.
A 26 player who's a leader and is good around the dressing room is more important than the 26th best player.
I would agree with that, yeah. Even the way England picked their squad. Not that I feel that Jordan Henderson should be in the squad, but like... you're going to have to get along with each other for like five, six weeks, especially when I get deep into the tournament.
That's why I think the likes of maybe, I don't know, some players have been left at home, maybe more talented players than Henderson. But I did just see a video, I think it was last night, and it was Jordan Henderson's... Every time he'd give the ball away against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi, he'd finally give the ball away like 20 times.
It's just him just, the ball, him getting the second balls and just hooking it over his head and Harry Kane just looking at it and about to throw in.
So when you say more talented, you don't mean at his current age, you mean just in general or more talented footballers? Yeah, of course, yeah. Okay, will we get going? Before we do, I just want to remind you that you can send us questions for the Crappy Quiz if you so want to. You can send your questions to us via email, crappyquiz.offtheball.com.
They come to me and I don't present the show that much anymore, but do send them. I will have a look at them. And if I'm not on that week, I'll forward them on. And if I am on, I'll hold them until the week I'm not. Also, if you don't want to let the old ways die, you can still send us your questions via postcard. Quizmaster, Off The Wall Towers, Marconi House, Diggs Lane, Dublin 2.
Round one is the call your shot round. I'm going to give you a set of questions with list answers. You can each bid on how many you can name. The person with the highest bid will then see how many they can answer. If they reach the number, they win the point.
If they don't or get one wrong at any time, the remaining two players will be asked to predict the amount they can name from the remaining answers. If they don't reach that mark, the last man standing wins the coveted Cowards point. We will allow counter bids when it's your turn. If somebody bids the full amount on their turn, they will get the chance to name them.
