DQ: Did you use to be a political leader?
And a defender doesn’t score a lot of goals So I’ll rephrase my question:
Are you a South American striker who used to score a lot of goals in the Bundesliga but has since moved on to the Premier League?
Are you a Frenchman who said: “All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone”?
Gianluca Pagliuca got sent off for handballing the ball outside the penalty area in Italy’s game against Norway in the World Cup played in the USA in -94.
And what about you guys tormenting me with artists and painters in the last run
In 1994 I was more interested in the latest Sega Genesis game than in the World Cup, sorry. Granted, even now I’m not much for watching sports, playing them is a million times more satisfying. But not soccer. I suck at soccer and I don’t have enough friends who like to play it to have any hope of ever getting any better. All of my friends in both the US and Japan have been more into baseball and/or basketball.
I am not of European descent.
I was a political leader.
I am not an artist.
I am not alive.
I am male.
I am not fictional.
I’ve never been very good at basketball (guess I can’t jump), but we play a sorta baseball over here which can be pretty fun at times. Especially when combined with chugging a beer at every base
But enough fooling about; time to get serious
Did you have fake villages named after you?
Did you move your capital while being a local lord of a place that now has been united into a nation? (eh, yeah, that makes sense)
Yeah, Peter the Great built Russias first fleet in the Black Sea to fight the Ottomans, the first in the Arctic Ocean, for the heck of it*, and in the Baltic, to fight the Swedes.
He really liked ships.
*or to be able to send traders to Europe without the hassle of the Danes and the Swedes
