My chances are once again saved by my knowledge in European politics. I think the other groups could possibly be interested to hear what the Taoiseach had to say, but I think mostly it would be the Irish citizens. A is my answer.

The first FIFA World Cup in which only previous world champions opposed in the semifinals took place in ...?
♦ A: 1970 in Mexico	♦ B: 1982 in Spain

Of course it's on a sports question I'm now really struggling. I know it's not Germany 2006 as Portugal was in the semifinal and Italy 1990 seems too late as I remember it was big nations in the semis so I assume they have won before. So it's A or B. I will use a lifeline, 50:50. Hopefully only one of the two options will be left.

In 1984, France and Poland played the 3rd place match. None of them were champions by then.

 

In 1990, Italy vs England for 3rd; West Germany vs. Argentina in the final. All world champions before...
