I am indeed. I'm the old-fashioned type, so I spend
my holidays (Toscana, BTW) without any portable online
gimmick (wouldn't know how to use an iPhone anyway).

We could postpone the match and I would have no problem playing
matchdays 2 and 3 in parallel.

OK, you both have selected your footballer. Joachim asks first. Notice that
there's no deadline for asking or answering. Well, not as long as I won't
add it, and I won't do as long as Joachim is away (so practically the match
is in stand-by).

Let me repeat the rules... Please read them, because they'll be strictly
enforced.

The object of the game is to be the first to determine which footballer
one's opponent has selected.

Players alternate asking various yes or no questions (such that the answer
is objectively verifiable) to eliminate candidates:
- Questions about series of numbers or letters (i.e. including words such as
"higher" "lower" "between" etc.) won't be allowed (e.g. "was he born before
1985?").
- Questions including the word "or" won't be allowed (e.g. "is he either
from Brazil, Italy or Germany?").

When you're ready to guess who the Mystery Player is, make your guess on
your turn, instead of asking a question (both "I guess that the player is X"
and "is the player X?" are considered guessing). If your guess is right, you
win the game. If it's wrong, you lose. But if the second player guesses
correctly just after the first player, it's a draw.

Eh? I have not selected anybody. Who's that clone of mine that's

Ok, that's fine with me (and I hope that MH also has no problems
with that). You will receive an e-mail with my player in due course.

Would your player be eligible to play for a nation not
located in Europe?
(Europe, not UEFA, so Israel should be considered as
outside Europe)

Yes.

Does your player currently[1] play in the league of a football
association, for which he is currently[2] eligible to
their national team?
[1] Pouplin has found a place at Sochaux now
[2] Polanski is currently not eligible for Germany, because he has
already played competitive matches for Poland

For the record: I think that MH has the following players left:
Dawson, Michael - England - Tottenham - 18.11.1983
Pieters, Erik - Holland - PSV - 07.08.1988
Ayew, Jordan - Ghana / France - OM - 11.09.1991
B�ria, Franck - France / Madagascar - LOSC Lille M�tropole - 23.05.1983
Iraizoz, Gorka - Spain / Pays Basque - Athletic - 06.03.1981
Debuchy, Mathieu - France - LOSC Lille M�tropole - 28.07.1985
Brighi, Matteo - Italy - Atalanta - 14.02.1981
Bonucci, Leonardo - Italy - Juventus - 01.05.1987
Wilshere, Jack - England - Arsenal - 01.01.1992
Helmes, Patrick - Germany - Wolfsburg - 01.03.1984
(don't know whether this list is correct, but my answers were - I
checked the current club of my player)

...while I have these left:
Brunt, Chris - N.Ireland - West Brom - 14.12.1984
Lens, Jeremain - Holland - PSV - 24.11.1987
Tunchev, Aleksandar - Bulgaria - Leicester - 10.07.1981
Eduardo - Portugal - SLB - 19.09.1982
Beerens, Roy - Holland - AZ - 22.12.1987
Polanski, Eugen - Poland / Germany - Mainz - 17.03.1986
Pouplin, Simon - France - - - 28.05.1985

Should not be on there as he has played for Ghana and thereforre is no
longer eligible to play for France. I asked the question in the present
tense "is eligible"

Has your player ever been on a team that was won the major domestic cup
in any Football Association (i.e. received a cup winner's medal).

That leaves me with:
Brunt, Chris - N.Ireland - West Brom - 14.12.1984
Tunchev, Aleksandar - Bulgaria - Leicester - 10.07.1981
Eduardo - Portugal - SLB - 19.09.1982
Polanski, Eugen - Poland / Germany - Mainz - 17.03.1986

...and a probable draw, I think.
(both my 7-6 split, and the 4-3 split went against me...)

Does your player play in a British league?

That could have gone wrong, as I interpreted it as "could have played for"
or something like that (that's why I used "currently" in my own question).
But: my answer would have been the same if I had taken this into account.
Ayew is not the player you're looking for.

Yes.
Which may leave you with 4 as well (I have not checked closely).
