Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The 1970 World Cup Final was between Brazil and Italy. They were both going for their 3rd World Cup win each, so whoever won kept the trophy forever. Who won and what was the score?

Answer: Brazil, 4-1

Even though Brazil were supposed to keep the trophy forever, in 1984 the trophy was stolen and melted down. It therefore no longer exists.

West Germany came runners-up, while Poland beat France to the 3rd place position. Paulo Rossi of Italy scored the most goals in the tournament.

5. Argentina got a big hand in this tournament and won it. Which player was responsible for an unbelievable goal that knocked England out?

Answer: Maradona

The ball spun high in the air in England's penalty area, and the England keeper, Peter Shilton, raced out to fist it away. Diego Maradona raced in and fisted it himself into the goal. Neither the linesman nor the ref noticed anything wrong, and England lost 2-1.

Answer: England 0-1 Germany, Germany 1-5 England

This was a match...
Germany went ahead within the first 10 minutes through Janker, but Owen soon equalized. Then just before halftime, Gerrerd scored a cracker from a long way out. 2-1 England. Back on the pitch, Owen scores again quickly. Then on 65 minutes, Owen races through the defence to score again. 4-1, and a hat-trick for Michael. Then when you think it's all over, Heskey scores, to bring the score to an impressive 5-1.

10. Who won the 2002 World Cup Final?

Answer: Brazil (again)

Brazil won and Germany came second, even after admitting they had an easy time getting to the final. England lost in the quarter-finals to the overall winners, all thanks to a looping Ronaldihno free-kick, over the head of the aged David Seaman.
