Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which two countries co-hosted the 2002 World Cup ?

Answer: Japan and South Korea

Co-hosting seemed to be the way forward for some of the smaller nations to hold some part of the World Cup tournament without having to incur huge debts from building suitable stadiums etc.

2. Which teams featured in the opening match of the tournament?

Answer: France v Senegal

The opening game always featured the holders of the World Cup, and France had won the tournament in 1998.

3. By what score did the holders, France, beat African no-hopers Senegal in their meeting in the group stage?

Answer: They didn't. Senegal pulled off an incredible 1-0 win

The World Cup was a disaster for France, who came bottom of their group below Senegal, Uruguay, and Denmark.

4. Group D: After all the games were played, which two countries filled the top two places and qualified for the next stage?

Answer: South Korea and USA

If proof were needed that the balance of world football was changing, then group D provided it.

Answer: Turkey

Turkey had a memorable World Cup, eventually finishing third.

Answer: Spain v South Korea

The shootout went South Korea's way and sent a promising Spanish side home.

7. Who eventually knocked out the USA?

Answer: Germany

Germany won 1-0 at the quarterfinal stage. But the American team showed how far they had progressed by qualifying out of a group that included Portugal and Poland, as well as the host nation, and then knocking out highly-rated Mexico 2-0 to make it to the quarterfinals.

8. Which were the correct semi-final results?

Answer: Germany 1 South Korea 0 / Brazil 1 Turkey 0

Two incredibly tight games saw Turkey and South Korea narrowly lose against two of the giants of world football. Turkey went on to beat the Koreans 3-2 and claimed a magnificent 3rd place.
