Sample Questions
Soccer
What traditional soccer powerhouse country and 4-time winner of the men’s World Cup has failed to qualify for the last 3 World Cups? Their decline began almost immediately after their 2006 title, failing to get past the group stage in 2010 and 2014.
Italy
Baseball

What less-auspicious ballclub is the other? Lacking a true superstar, they were led by a shutdown bullpen of career-year relievers with names like Cotts, Politte, and Hermanson. They went 11-1 in the playoffs, including a World Series sweep. (Note: Team name is sufficient, year is not needed.)
Chicago White Sox
Olympics
