I'm With Stupid, Game 13, Round 1
1. Name a Ballon d'Or winner (not Messi)
In the first question of this round most people went with Ronaldo(3) or Cristiano Ronaldo(5). The Hobbit fails by choosing brazilian Kaka which is only the beginning of a desaster round with 4 1pt-answers.

3x Ronaldo
1x Andriy Shevchenko
1x George Weah
1x Kaka

2. Name a Speedway World Champion
This question caused some confusion to some of you as it proved that speedaway is too unknown. Most of you went with 2013 world champion Tai Woffinden(4) .

Spoiler
4x Tai Woffinden

2x Nicki Pedersen
1x Tomasz Gollob
1x Jerzy Szczakiel

Spoiler
6x Valentino Rossi
2x Marc Marquez
1x Jorge Lorenzo
1x Yonny Hernandez
1x Claudio Corti
1x Andrea Iannone

1x Caroline Wozniacki
1x Daniel Palmer
1x David Nalbandian
1x Jo Wilfired Tsonga
1x João Sousa

1x Al-Farouq Aminu
1x Dikembe Mutombo
1x Hiram Fuller
1x Luc Mbah a Moute
1x Luol Deng
1x Peter Parkinson
Nacho63 takes the round victory by the smallest possible margin ahead of mvhoogdalem. pylarz takes third place and can now post the next questions.
Due to the small amount of points in this round every new participant will have a decent chance to climb up the rankings...

Those skills, and I wasn't even last, goes for the only Moto GP rider I know...
Still, didn't Fittipaldi go for speedway after F1, I know his grandson (or some other relative) is American or something. |

I think your mixing Oval racing (on a speedway) with the sport Speedway, which is going with 4 riders around a small dirt track on a motor bike

Goddamn that round was hilarious!
Lorenzo got 1pt, swear down that's incredible...
Low scoring rounds says a lot about the questions. It's ok to have one or two obscure, but that many must-googles is always going to end up like that.
And SSJ! Get your own damn thing...

Pretty sure Freitas went for a 5 as well.
Isn't 3 guys a bit too much?

round...
And marcovdw: i will correct it!

You don't need to follow Moto GP to know Rossi, just listen to the radio or tv...
Also, that's speedway, I didn't even know that existed? |

Sorry if those questions were too hard I forgot that only 3 or 4 countries take speedway seriously 
Hope next round will be better. Sorry about last question (sport again!) but it shouldn't be that hard
I'm with stupid - Round 1, game 13
Movies
1. Name a famous director.
2. Name a horror movie.
3. Name a movie that was released in 90s.
4. Name a movie that has more than 3 sequels.
5. Name a sportsman who appeared in a movie.
Again, answers send to knockout. He will set a deadline.

Am I the only one who found this round harder then the last?
And I think those that put just Ronaldo when they meant Cristiano Ronaldo had forgotten about the Brazilian one.

I found it harder, bu I know nothing about film, so thought it was just me, and I mean, it's hard to do worse... |
