"Own goals are an odd commodity in football, as virtually no one wants them: defenders are terrified of committing them and attackers hate having their precious goal tallies reduced by them, with even those pesky adjudication panels perhaps wishing for a more fun job than having to measure the trajectory of wayward shots and whether they were heading on target or not."
"Such is the bureaucracy of the modern game, perhaps but the fact remains that some players commit more OGs than others, with these 21 players having scored five or more own goals in Premier League history: you have just five minutes to guess the names of each of them"
"Let's shift from unfortunate statistics to magnificent achievements: the historical giants, the biggest tournaments on Earth, and the unexpected careers of football's biggest names. If you are ready for a monumental test of global trivia, your next challenge awaits, once again, courtesy of Kwizly. We begin by establishing the ultimate club pecking order. How well do you know the immense history behind the ranking? Try to name the top 50 clubs in the all-time Champions League table."
Own goals are broadly unwanted in football, causing fear among defenders and resentment from attackers whose goal totals are affected. Adjudication panels must judge shot trajectories to decide whether attempts were on target. Modern match bureaucracy complicates own-goal rulings. Twenty-one players in Premier League history have recorded five or more own goals. A timed quiz challenges readers to name those players within five minutes. Additional quizzes test knowledge of the all-time Champions League table, every country to compete at a FIFA World Cup, top Premier League appearance-makers by nation, and footballers who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing.
