You have 10 minutes to pick 15 mascots – there are five decoys.

Remember to tweet your scores @FourFourTwo (opens in new tab), and challenge some friends while you're at it.

That guy in the photo above. He's not the mascot. That's Michel Platini: he's standing next to the mascot.

This was a brand new introduction for the 1966 World Cup in England – and frankly, we're not sure how they managed at tournaments before without one. Everyone has their favourite and everyone remembers their first. 

How carefully have you paid attention to them over the years, though?
