Quiz: A-Z of Euro 2016

[tee rex]

C = Cristiano Ronaldo is correct (they're not very consistent with naming).

Some very general ones, all of them were "talking points" but could be in most tournaments: F, H, L, O, Q, S, Y.

S "mostly went unpunished" says World Soccer.

[Bizarre Löw Triangle]

Joe Allen?

H - Hooliganism?

[pebblethefish]

S - Simulation

If F is Football, that would be amusing.

[Bizarre Löw Triangle]

S - security
M - moths

[tee rex]

None of the above, I'm afraid.

"F" is mentioned in The Likely Lads.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Flood?

[Capybara]

None of the above, I'm afraid.

"F" is mentioned in The Likely Lads.

Oh. Reversing my earlier decision not to guess any further, F for flooded, or flooding?

[Bizarre Löw Triangle]

S - shirt pulling?

[lambers]

S "mostly went unpunished" says World Soccer.

Silly haircuts

[lambers]

Q is probably "quiet" or "queues", depending on how they wanted to frame the fan experience.

S - shirt pulling?

Well done, I thought that was a tough one. But no VAR in 2016. Shirts can now run free at corners.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

He did, and that's correct.

Of the remaining answers, Z, C and J are players, P a former one.

P = Platini?

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

C = Cristiano Ronaldo is correct (they're not very consistent with naming).

Some very general ones, all of them were "talking points" but could be in most tournaments: F, H, L, O, Q, S, Y..

Y = Yellow Cards?

[tee rex]

Yes on P, no on Y.

Actually Y is a bit pointless, so ... Youth (because there were young players like Renato Sanches, as in every tournament ever).

[Patrick Thistle]

Was H for Handball? Not that I remember any egregious ones in Euro 2016

[Patrick Thistle]

A general.one for O... Offside?

[Patrick Thistle]

Is the player beginning with J, Joe Hart?

[tee rex]

Of the remaining ones, D is a bit silly but you'll feel triumphant when you get it (think coaches), V is a location, N featured in the final (and other games).

Was H for Handball? Not that I remember any egregious ones in Euro 2016

Correct! Specifically, Schweinsteiger's v France, in the SF. A memorable moment, or maybe not as it turns out ...

[Patrick Thistle]

Of the remaining ones, D is a bit silly but you'll feel triumphant when you get it (think coaches), V is a location, N featured in the final (and other games).

Location beginning with V.... Versailles?

[ad hoc]

N featured in the final (and other games).

Nil-nil?

[Duncan Gardner]

S is for the sozzled GAWA soldier on our flight from Gatwick to Cote d'Azur who swore at the stewards for three hours before, er shitting himself then being summarily slung out of Southern France

[tee rex]

Offline now (Wimbledon, bed).

All correct answers in OP. Other guesses not correct.

For A, I'd pick Russia and France. O is very topical. As is L in many knockout games. Q is something people do a lot after tournaments. U is too obvious.

[anton pulisov]

My main memory of the semi-final was Pogba's assist.
