Solutions

1:B - This fan wasn't happy with Lampard when he returned to Stamford Bridge as a Manchester City player in 2015. What did Lampard ever win for Chelsea, anyway? Oh., 2:B - This irate fan threw his season ticket at manager Bryan Gunn during the Canaries' 7-1 defeat at home by Colchester on the opening day of the 2009-10 season. Norwich sacked Gunn and replaced him with Colchester's manager Paul Lambert. It was quite the appointment as Norwich were crowned champions and promoted from League One in that very same season., 3:B - These USA fans were fully supportive of Megan Rapinoe, the player of the tournament who used her platform at the World Cup to criticise the US president Donald Trump., 4:A - We're guessing Diego Maradona was the target of the ire. Can't imagine why., 5:B - This colourful Spain fan came expecting traditionally wet British weather. He probably felt quite gloomy after the match. His team lost 2-1 and were knocked out., 6:B - The picture that became a meme and summed up the happier, more relaxed vibe in Gareth Southgate's England squad, 7:D - Goalkeeper Bela Fejer Csongor is congratulated by fans after proving to be the penalty hero in the final held in London in 2018. The tournament is for states, minorities, stateless peoples and regions unaffiliated with Fifa., 8:B - Trying to digest the 7-1 defeat by Germany on home soil in the World Cup semi-final wasn't easy., 9:B - Scotland kept their hopes of qualification alive with a 1-1 draw with Norway but an embarrassing 3-0 defeat by Morocco in the final group game led to a group-stage exit., 10:B - This was a groundbreaking game for fans in Iran when, on 10 October 2019, women were officially allowed to buy tickets to watch a football match in Tehran for the first time in 40 years. Iran won 14-0., 11:B - City fans wanted to show Chelsea just how rich they were., 12:A - Villa fans arrived to a warm welcome at St Andrew's. The rivals drew 1-1., 13:A - Scarborough fans Kitty Cook and June Wilson watch their team as they fight relegation from the conference league on the 20th anniversary of their promotion to the football league. Scarborough were relegated and wound up in the summer of 2007., 14:C - It was Union Berlin's first promotion to Bundesliga. There was quite a party., 15:A - This time it was Belgium who inflicted the pain, though a 2-1 defeat in the quarter-finals was nothing like the humiliation of 2014.
