    Explain this sequence of letters and numbers :

    HB5,MD5,RF5,RR5,FS6,JC7,RD9

    I'd imagine RF5 is Rio Ferdinand # 5 (his squad number)

    I'll give a clue then. There is many more entries to the left of that sequence, but no more to the right of it.

    Also it might look more familiar read this way:

    RD9
    JC7
    FS6
    RR5
    RF5
    MD5
    HB5

    Finally it's prem related and not a trick question or anything!!

    Going back to that earlier question, Edgar Castillo has played for and against the Mexico National team (his new country being USA).

    It's a list of the players who have scored the most own goals. RD9 is Richard Dunne with 9, JC7 is Jamie Carragher with 7 etc etc

    And the brothers have Football Manager to thank for being picked for the Philippines national team according to a story about an anonymous FM gamer who contacted the Philippines FA to alert them of the Chelsea brother's Philippine mother and eligibility to play for them.

    The winner beat a team in the final who they had already played earlier on in the tournament? Just a guess, but defo right for 5 of those 7 anyway.
