These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-06-26,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of Bloor St. Irregulars and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
please see my 2023-05-24 companion posting on "Questions from the
Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".

* Game 7, Round 7 - Sports - Women's World Cup Team Nicknames

The FIFA Women's World Cup is taking place in July.
Answer these questions about the nicknames of teams taking
part in the Cup.

1. This country is co-hosting this year's event. Their women's
team is known as the Fighting Ferns while their men are the
All-Whites. What country?

2. The nickname for the English women's team is the female version
of the men's nickname, derived from the coat-of-arms on their
jerseys. What is it?

3. Please decode the rot13 for questions #3-5 only after you
hsve finished with #1-2. Guvf pbhagel'f Ngynf Yvbarffrf trgf

6. France and Italy are both European soccer superpowers, and when
their teams' nickname are translated into English, they come
out the same. What is this shared nickname, in English?

7. The Brazilian team (both men and women) is usually called Seleção
("Selection"). However, they are also referred to by which
avian nickname, from the color of their jerseys? Answer in
Portuguese or English.

8. Which country's men's and women's teams are both known as Les
Albicelestes (The White & Sky-Blues), after the colors of
their jerseys?

9. Various nicknames have been tried out for the Canadian team, but
"Canucks", "Maple Leafs" and "Voyageurs" never really caught on.
The most commonly used nickname is this unimaginative one.
For some reason, it is usually in French. Name it in French
or English.

10. For some reason, this country's women's team is called Las
Chicas Superpoderosas ("the Powerpuff Girls"). More sensibly,
they are also known as Las Cafeteras ("the Coffee Growers").
What country?
