Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was score of the first world cup 2006 match played between Germany and Costa Rica?

Answer: 4-2 For Germany

The 18th FIFA World Cup began with a roar, with 6 goals, as Germany won 4-2 against Costa Rica. Two goals from Costa Rican forward Paulo Wanchope, Germany's Miroslav Klose with 2, and one a piece from Philipp Lahm, and Torsten Frings ensured the world's population had a greet of what was coming, goals, talent, excitement, pain, and glory.

2. Which nation had the worst defensive record at the tournament?

Answer: Serbia and Montenegro

Serbia and Montenegro produced the worst defensive record after they were heavily beaten by Argentina 6-0, and conceded another two goals after 3 games, which saw them go out.

3. Which country finished first in group G?

Answer: Switzerland

Switzerland finished first in group G after claiming 7 points from 3 matches. They also managed to keep a clean sheet in all of their group matches. Brazil wasn't even in this group.

4. Who and how many goals did the top scorer score in the whole tournament?

Answer: Miroslav Klose - 5 goals

A somewhat lower tally of goals of 5 for Germany was enough for Miroslav Klose to claim the golden shoe award. He played for Werder Bremen, a soccer club from Germany playing in the German bundesliga. He was born in a small town of Opole, Poland on June 9, 1978, where he then moved to Germany and was granted German citizenship, and enabled him to play for the nation.

5. Who won the golden ball award at the tournament?

Answer: Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane had played his last world cup for France, and announced his retirement from international football/soccer after the tournament. He wasn't able to claim the award at the final in front of the world's population, since he head-butted Italian defender Marco Materazzi in the final and was sent off in extra time.

6. Who scored the winning goal for France in the quarter-finals to knock out Brazil out of tournament?

Answer: Theirry Henry

Theirry Henry scored in the 57th minute to deny Brazil a place in the semi-final. Brazil didn't look ready for the semi-final or final after a fairly disappointing world cup display saw them go out.

7. The most red cards distributed in a game was 3.

Answer: False

4 red cards in the match between Portugal and the Netherlands had been blamed on Russian referee Valentin Ivanov. Portugal won the match 1-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

8. Which country finished 2nd in group F with 4 points?

Answer: Australia

Australia had finished 2nd in Group F, and were a surprise to many after they qualified for the round of 16 and a match up between Italy awaited. Australia was eliminated by Italy in the 90th minute after a controversial penalty was awarded to Italy. Francesco Totti scored and Italy qualified for the quarterfinals. Spain wasn't even in this group.

9. How many teams from Africa were first timers in the tournament?

Answer: 4

Ghana,Angola,Ivory Coast,Togo are all first timers in the tournament. Tunisia were the only team that had been in a world cup.

10. How many countries finished first in their groups with all 9 points from 3 matches?
