Picture Quizzes
The picture quizzes are basically "name what you see." The World Cup Legends from the 70s quiz is straightforward; however, take note that in our 1966 World Cup quiz there are some nuances, such as naming the mascot, and rugby player Ben Cohen’s connection comes through his World Cup-winning uncle, George Cohen. As always, we’re often guided by what images are available for us to use - frustratingly, nearly all images available on the internet are copyrighted.
