In the world of football, knowledge is the ultimate trophy. And that's exactly what Kwizly, the popular quiz platform, is offering with its latest batch of brain-ticklers. From the Euros to Paris Saint-Germain, these quizzes are designed to provide footballing satisfaction and challenge players' wits.

This week, football enthusiasts can test their mettle with a variety of quizzes. The "Can you name every Ballon d'Or top 10 of the 2000s" challenge promises to unveil iconic talent from that decade. For those who fancy a taste of European football, there's a quiz that demands players to name every football stadium in Europe with a capacity over 40,000.

But the excitement doesn't stop there. For those who are fans of English football, the quiz "Can you name David Moyes' most-played players" offers a glimpse into the trusted lieutenants and consistent performers under the former manager's watchful eye. And for those who enjoy a good crossword, the Weekend Crossword 10 is available on our website.

For those with a more global perspective, there's a quiz that lists 25 players, past and present, for the reader to determine if they've ever held the title of the most expensive in the sport. Since 1893, 16 English players have been the most expensive of all time, at one stage or another. Spanish and Italian clubs have also broken the transfer record on numerous occasions, with Spanish clubs smashing the ceiling 9 times and Italian clubs following closely behind with 18 breaks. Interestingly, no club other than English, Italian, or Spanish has ever broken the transfer record more than once.

The quizzes also delve into the rich history of Brazilian football. Since 2000, several Brazilian footballers have been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, including the goalkeeper Dida, who was the first Brazilian goalkeeper nominated, and famous outfield players such as Ronaldo Nazário and Raphinha. Dida's nomination came during the mid-2000s when he was one of the top goalkeepers worldwide, particularly with AC Milan. Ronaldo Nazário, one of the greatest forwards, also received multiple nominations and ranks high historically in Ballon d'Or rankings. Raphinha was nominated more recently, as noted in the 2025 shortlist alongside some other Brazilians like Vinicius Junior.

While the detailed complete list with all Brazilian nominees from 2000 to 2025 is not fully provided in the search results, these notable players definitely represent the most prominent Brazilian nominees in this period.

So, grab a cup of tea, get comfortable, and let's unravel some more glorious football knowledge. Whether you're a seasoned fan or a newcomer to the beautiful game, Kwizly's quizzes promise to test your knowledge and deepen your love for the sport. Happy quizzing!
