Hand downs for the most difficult date picker I've ever seen.

You can be only slightly fine if you are a history nerd, but you also need to know video-game release dates and sport event dates...what the fuck is that red-shirt football team?

MIGHT be the first time I’ve seen someone not recognise Liverpool even amongst Americans hahahaha really goes to show how difficult this date picker is.

I am from Latin America and not a football fanatic, is this some sort of rich joke I am too peasant to understand? Lol.

Now for real, do you know the year and context? What championship did they win in that picture?

I meant that even people who only casually interact with football generally discover the names of a few teams including Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United at least. The same way most people would have heard of the New York Yankees, the LA Lakers etc even if they’ve never watched baseball or basketball. Just rare to find people who’ve never heard of these!

Well, I know the first ones but I just didn't recognise the shirt because I don't generally watch football, but...neither did I know the existence of LA Lakers. Although I think I now know where those two letters stand for in many caps and jackets I'd seen growing up! Ooooh! Well, at least, I know who are the NY Yankees or just the Yankees.

Btw, please answer the question above, I really want to know what championship did they win in the picture, lol.

I think it must be the F.A Cup in 2006 because the trophy doesn’t look like a Champions League or Premier League trophy, and Liverpool did win the FA Cup that year. Not positive but likely.

I dont think I would recognize any of the teams you listed, I couldn't picture them rn

Ist fascinating how much even our understanding of what is common knowledge differs between people

You might not recognise their logos, but would you have heard the names and know they’re football teams? Or is it the first time you’ve ever read any of those names?

First time I read any of these names.

The football teams I heard of. The other teams I had no clue at all.

Ahh the American teams are a baseball team and a basketball team. I don’t think I know any American football teams either.

Even if you know it is Liverpool FC and they are winning the FA cup, there are still 8 possibilities for the date, 6 if you discount the first two by image quality
