Given I'm looking for country and year as one, then you have one answer right. Three more combinations of country and year needed please.

(wish I could help here, but the last football game I watched was at Leicester Filbert Street - Gordon Banks in goal; Peter Shilton was his apprentice)
Can I add 1990 to Spain along with my other answers?

No. 1990 was West Germany/Argentina, with Germany winning 1-0. Part of the answer is kind of in the original clue: three teams...
I've only got 3 teams - England, Spain and Uruguay. I assue these are the right teams, all I've got to do is find the years, and I've got 1966, 2010 and 1930 respectively. Am I right in thinking I just need to find another year for Spain, maybe 1994?

Yes, you are looking for another year for one of the teams - it's not Spain/1994 (Brazil 0-0 Italy, dour, Brazil winning on penalties).
But Germany were losing finalists in 1966 - surely you remember that.
Or are you distinguishing between West Germany and Germany?But Germany were losing finalists in 1966 - surely you remember that
No, that was West Germany

Indeed. The original question did make reference to any unified/broken country be treated as one, e.g. Germany/West Germany, so they don't count.
So you did. Sorry. Didn’t read to the end of the question

Hmmm. So an inland product.
It's definitely not sea related, but it's not an inland product in the way you're probably thinking!

Shady banking tax avoidance stuff?
It is indeed. The domain name is .tv, used by many companies who advertise on television. Your turn to be Chief Economist.
I like it, but no.
No - it was all above board.
wow! I've heard of a different island that makes tons of cash through its domain name, name escapes me.
Question (slightly topical and I read about this yesterday):
Which 80's hit British kids cartoon show was originally broadcasted in Welsh on the insistence of its creator before it was dubbed to English and the credits in Welsh changed (I think this was only the first series).
Even before the cartoon series was made Warner bros offered £250k for the film rights.

I know that Colombia (.co) and Montenegro (.me) allow non-local businesses to purchase their domain suffixes as they are seen to be marketable generically, worldwide. For a fee, of course.

As hard as I try, I just cannot recall any British cartoon show in the 80s.
