Try this one. Only five stadiums have hosted a Summer Olympics and a World Cup final. Name them and/or the cities. (All of them are in Europe)

One's a bit of a trick question as it hosted Olympic events even though the games didnt actually take place in that country.

Second..The Olympiastadion Munich..
Third Wembly..London...

I maybe wrong on all...I am just guessing.

Yeah I'm in the same boat Lefty. This one's a bit tougher than my trivia question, but I might substitute Berlin for Munich.

The five are :

Stade Colombes, Paris (Olympics 1924/World Cup 1938)
Wembley Stadium, London (Olympics 1948/World Cup 1966)
Olympic Stadium, Rome (Olympics 1960/World Cup 1990)
Olympic Stadium, Munich (Olympics 1972/World Cup 1974)
Olympic Stadium, Berlin (Olympics 1936/World Cup 2006)

Mexico City, Los Angeles and Stockholm held both events but used different stadiums for each.

I slightly screwed up the 'trick' question. The Olympic Stadium in Stockholm was used for the summer games there in 1912, and then again for the equestrian events in the 1956 Olympics. The games were held in Melbourne, but for quarantine reasons the equestrian events were held in Stockholm earlier in the year. The 1958 World Cup final in Stockholm took place in a different stadium than the Olympics.

The Rose Bowl in Pasadena was the site of the World Cup Final when the US hosted in '94.
Also had the real football there when the '84 Olympics were in LA.

Now that I had to look up...

The USA-Japan game was incredible. I had a friend on the 2000 gold medal team, who struck me out many times over the years. I did park one off of him, I remember that better than all the strike outs.

LOL. Yeah, I can imagine. Rudd must go!

Definitely been a major feelgood factor over here, and a much needed one.

No doubt we'll be back to the usual shit by this time next week.
