It’s been too long since I watched _Casino Royale_, and I can’t remember. Going to wiki it now so I can kick myself. Take a DQ.

Did you score a goal in the final of the 1954 soccer World Cup?

Note my location - you can ask all the soccer questions you want, it’s American sports that will always get me!

Having said that, I don’t know who you mean - take a DQ :).
