Scouting for Soccer Camp Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

ThorScouts: Cache is missing. This is an area I don't make it to very often now that my kids are older, so it isn't easy to maintain the cache. Time to archive in case someone else wants to create a cache in the area.

Geocache Description:

An easy find, nice size container, and good theme-based starting cache for anyone willing to take a few minutes to complete the puzzle.  The reference coordinates are within 100 yards of the final cache, but you'll need to answer a few easy soccer questions to hone in on the final coordinates.

Cache is hidden in Hurricane, WV at a fantastic sports complex where my kids take soccer and t-ball lessons year round.  They love this place and we are celebrating our week at soccer camp by hiding a cache.  This facility offers lessons in soccer, football, and t-ball so we have filled the cache with items related to these sports. If you trade items, please keep them kid-friendly since my children will be maintaining the cache.
Now for the cache coordinates!  If you don't know the answers to these questions, you can find them very easily with a quick Internet search.

Coordinates:

N   38  26.ABC'
W 081 59.DEF'

A = The number of minutes in a soccer game divided by 15.
B = The number of times Brazil has won the World Cup plus the number of times Italy has won the World Cup. (as of 2013)
C = The number of league points you would receive for two wins and one tie.
D = The FIFA number of "Laws of the Game" minus 17
E = The number of different national teams that have won the World Cup
F = Y where XY is the number of teams invited to the World Cup

Container is a very large peanut container painted in camoflauge.  Initial cache contains three sport ball shaped whistles, a mini squishy football, a mini squishy basketball, a mini hacky sack soccer ball, 3 small sports-themed "pinball" trinkets, and a first-to-find trophy with a George Washington tucked inside.

CONGRATULATIONS to CLIVE AND JULIANA on the FTF!
