Solutions

1:D - Ireland sing both of their anthems before their home matches but they only sing Ireland's Call when playing away – as they are this weekend, in Scotland., 2:D - Ireland became the first European nation to defeat the southern hemisphere’s big three in one year since England did it in 2003 (although Ireland also lost twice to South Africa and once to New Zealand last year)., 3:C - In the same interview – given to Jamie Redknapp – Carroll also confessed to not watching much football. 'When I joined Liverpool I was in the helicopter on the way down and I had to go to Google to find out who their players were, looking on the phone,' he said. 'I didn't know who my team-mates would be!', 4:D - Robinson offered a police officer who was posing as a prostitute $40 for oral sex – just hours after he had received the Bart Starr Award for his 'high moral character'. He was released from jail in time for the game but his team still lost, continuing their run of never winning the Super Bowl., 5:B - They made £58m from Oscar's transfer to Shanghai SIPG and £6m from Patrick Bamford's move to Middlesbrough., 6:B - One of the presenters replied, saying: 'I agree.', 7:D - The sisters have played in the women's doubles final at 14 grand slams – and won them all., 8:D - Sunderland have scored 20 goals, with Defoe scoring 12 of them and setting up two more., 9:D - Schweinsteiger scored for Bayern Munich at Old Trafford in the Champions League quarter-final in 2014. He was also sent off in that game., 10:C - City have won there twice this year: 5-0 in the FA Cup and 4-0 in the Premier League.
