QUIZ Can you name every Ballon d'Or top 10 since 2000?

In 1966, football came home. Since that momentous triumph, England have produced some of the most exquisite footballers the world has ever seen… but they haven't managed to repeat the feat.

Considering some of the players that have come from this great nation in the last 60-odd years, it's a travesty, really, that we still have one Jules Rimet trophy, ever-gleaming in a cabinet getting dustier by the decade. Our question to you today is to name as many of England's top century of Lions as you can. You have 10 minutes to guess 100 players.

OUR NEW GUESS THE YEAR QUIZ FourFourTwo's Dating Game

Having successfully navigated the grand tapestry of England caps, distinguishing your centurions from your nearly-men, your patriotic duty is fulfilled. But the world of football, thankfully, is a broad and beautiful church: if your brain is still in trivia mode and you yearn for a fresh corner of the global game to conquer, we have a magnificent set of new challenges lined up, once again, courtesy of Kwizly.

It is time to look beyond the domestic game and focus on the very grandest stages. We begin with the European elite, revisiting the most famous names to ever grace the competition. How many of the greats can you recall: can you name the top 50 Champions League all-time scorers? Alternatively, if international glory is still calling, expand your knowledge to the biggest show on Earth and try to name every nation to have reached an international semi-final. From the perennial giants to the one-hit wonders, this is a true test of football history.

Our quiz selection moves nimbly from the top of the men's game to the thriving domestic women’s league. See if you can achieve true mastery by naming every WSL team's manager, captain and stadium. That requires a seriously well-rounded knowledge base. For a different type of European knowledge, delve into the history of the continent’s secondary trophy and see if you can name all 30 clubs to win the Europa League/UEFA Cup. An obscure selection, certainly, but one that rewards the dedicated student of the game.

Finally, for something a little more relaxed and cerebral, why not tackle FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 26, with clues on GOATs, birds and Bundesliga ballers? It is the perfect opportunity to wind down and piece together the clues. For a fresh delivery of challenges every morning, simply sign up to the newsletter and never miss a quiz again.
