Soccer is a good game. Football is a good game. Hockey's better than both. ;P

Oh, shit, he pulled out the "chess" card. The rest of you are all intellectually inferior. Chess is the game of KINGS. Soccer / football is a game for hooligans. American football is a game for people who need 40+ seconds between each thought.

I'm just playing. There's not a sport I enjoy watching [on TV] more than NFL football.

Lol just teasing you. I find American football unnecessarily complicated :/ it could be that I grew up in a totally different culture (i'm Argentinean BTW). Maybe if I were Venezuelan or Cuban I'd be fonder of baseball :B
And I really think soccer was invented first. Which means nothing, but still xD

To me, American football is the ultimate team game. Everyone is doing something at all times. What taught me to really appreciate it was one of the Madden games and controlling the running back. You realize then it's not just jocks banging into each other for no reason, rather creating space and lanes for the running back. Wish Madden came back to PC ... on Steam.

I've made it to the match, got Q1/Q4, but I'm clueless about Q3 and Q2/Q5 I have answers for which seem right but maybe it's harder than it looks. Think I'll have to hope for hints :/

yeah :/ I think there may also be typos in the quiz later.

If I'll listen to my couch's advices, people gonna think that I'm nuts.

q3 is very difficult. I spent a day on it and nothing.

When I tried to solve first puzzle i was exactly the same :) But then solution came out and everything was clear. I'm going to write solution to this, but you still have time to look on other puzzles solutions. Maybe it helps to pass through warm-up :)

Before we start I must say it's my first puzzle. I hope it won't be too easy for you :)
Some important informations:
Puzzle ends at Monday evening (GMT).
If there won't be much solvers (less then 8) in the middle of the week I'll write more about puzzle and maybe give you some more hints.
Rules - as always in puzzles, you know them: no sharing answers and links, no spoiling, no giving hints, no telling what the prize is.
Have fun!
About puzzle: It's a match you have to play. It has 5 stages: 1st - warm up (here), 2nd - tactical briefing, 3rd - first half, 4th - second half, 5th - end of match.
There are 2 giveaways to find!
First one is closed. But there is another one at the end of the match. Don't forget that.
Clear your mind, look carefully, use your skills. Don't let the coach substitute you before end of the game. Listen to his advices.
HINTS ARE HERE
Warm up - Isn't it strange that coach think there are five stars in other team? And he gives sometimes number, sometimes name?
Tactical briefing - hint is in description. You see - coach has deep thoughts too.
First half:
Q1 - It's connected with Q4 a little. At last you can try brute force. Sometimes it helps on the field.
Q2 - Answer is easy. You don't have to go to France to find it. Just look at me.
Q3 - What dance? Who was dancing? - Ask the goalkeeper, he knows.
Q5 - Look at the question. Is it right or wrong? Does your answer is right or wrong?
Second half - if you don't know how to get to this part bring to mind what you did during warm up. But it is match now, not warm-up. So it won't be exactly the same.
Before match starts you have to warm up. It prevents injuries during the game. Just go on the pitch and run a little, stretch muscles, pass ball and shoot in the net.
Meanwhile coach is receiving informations about opposing squad. Here it is: 1. Boruc - 4.Zanetti (C), 28 Cannavaro, 23. Ranocchia, 17. Wasilewski - 19. Cambiasso, 34 de Jong, 6. Faraoni - 9. Pozzi, 11. van Persie, 10. to Madeira.
He thinks the stars of this team are:
11
Zanetti
10
Pozzi
17
Remember, always listen to your coach.
SOLUTION! SOLUTION! SOLUTION!
First I would like to congratulate one and only, the best of the best: Botev1912 who is the only player who ended the match!
Now let's go to solution.
Warm-up - You should figured out why there are 5 star player, and why there are names mixed with numbers. It is easy - 5 because steamgifts address has 5 chars. Names and numbers - you should take first letter or digit of player from coach notes:
11 it's (v)an Persie
Zanetti it's (4)
10 it's (t)o Madeira
Pozzi it's (9)
17 it's (W)asilewski
So you've got now v4t9W which means http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/v4t9W/ address.
It is tactical briefing. Here you should figured out what my funny thought mean. Why "connect dots"? Under the dots (view source option) there are links to images:

If you look closely you will see that there is one typo on each picture (excluding number 4 - coach did a mistake). So you should "connect" every wrong letter to get this code: nqnGhrCO
8 charts means only one - itstoohard link. Now you have http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/nqnGhrCO
First half.
Answers are not so easy as they look like.
Q1 - answer: 7 - my favourite player is Alessandro del Piero. He was the legend of Juventus Football Club. He switched his number from 10 to 7 beacuse he "gave" 10 to Totti.
Q2 - Loic Remy. It wasn't question about real match. It was about my Football Manager career. I put movie on my steam account and named it "Football Manager - Loic Remy's superb goal". Easy isn't it?
Q3 - Liverpool. The dance it's Dudek Dance! Do you remember that Champions League final?
Q4 - Juventus. Just look at the picture from "connect dots part.
Q5 - Kristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (Kristiano Ronaldo is correct too). Now you know why I changed K to C and C to K in question?
Now you have 5 answers. Number 5 - does it look familiar? But this time it wasn't steamgifts link. It was imgur code. First letters (or numbers) taken from answers are: 7lljk and you have http://imgur.com/7lljk
Second half started. You are in corner. In corner you say? Look carefully there. Under the post. Wat is it? Some numbers and letters maybe? Five of them? IR9dD is that steamgifts code? Better check this...

Thank you for playing! :)
