Soccer, eh? And it’s neither Pele nor Beckham, so I’m lost. ---

Yeah, I’m not that big on soccer, either. Previous IQs: Was perhaps your best-known character nicknamed “Ser Friendzone” by fans? - Iain Glenn played Ser Jorah Mormont on _Game of Thrones,_ loving but not loved by (at least, not in that way) his Khaleesi Did you write _The End_, about the last year of the Third Reich? - not David Irving, but Ian Kershaw (good book, too, BTW) Did you officiate at Sir Patrick’s Stewart’s most recent wedding? - Sir Ian McKellen Iain/Ian x3! DQ: Goalie? I yield my remaining DQ to whoever would like to ask it. ---

Well, you definitely got me stumped; I know more about the highly-acclaimed, all-fiberglass, pistachio-scented 1950s BBC radio show _The Goon Show_\*, than I do about soccer. \*Thanks to @Prof.Pepperwinkle. ---

I’m afraid it is not Lionel Issem, nor is it Marco Izzaretam or Diego Issor. Questions of the form “Are you ?” may be asked until midnight EDT tomirrow. It would be interesing to see if anyone in the Euro 2024 thread would get this question. ---

The deadline has passed. I am # Iker Casillas Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper, captain of two straight Euro title teams (2008 & 2012) as well as the 2010 World Cup champions; in club soccer, winner of five La Liga titles and three Champions League titles. So… too obscure? Or time to take another crack at it? ---

Literally the only entities I’ve heard of in that statement are “Real Madrid” and “Spain”. But I’m not a soccer fan, so maybe that’s equivalent to a European not knowing Peyton Manning. ---
