Two clubs. One country. Name a player who ties them together before the clock runs out.
Every round pairs two football clubs with one country. Clues land one at a time — tap the big button to reveal Club 2, tap again for the country, building the tension before anyone can answer. Players then race to name a real footballer who has played for both clubs and either was born in that country or has played for its national team.
