How to play
- 1You get a nation and a birth-year window, e.g. France, born 1975–1985. Read the criteria, then press Start or just start typing.
- 2Type a player’s name and press Enter. Players of that nation are suggested first.
- 3A correct name joins your grid with their caps. A wrong one flashes a short reason (e.g. “Born 1972 — outside the window” or “Only 8 caps”). Wrong guesses only cost you time.
- 4You have 90 seconds. At the end you see everyone you missed, most caps first.
- 5One round a day, the same for everyone, easier early in the week and harder at the weekend.
FAQ
Who counts?+
Players in our dataset who represent that nation, were born in the window, and have at least 20 senior caps from a finished international career.
Why isn’t a player accepted?+
They may be born outside the window, have fewer than 20 caps, represent another nation, or still be playing internationally (their caps total isn’t final yet). The reason appears as soon as you guess.
What makes a round easy or hard?+
Easy rounds use big football nations and eras with lots of well-known names. Hard rounds use smaller nations or eras with fewer famous players. Every round has between 12 and 40 valid answers.
