Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who, apart from Hristo Stoichkov, became the goal scorer of the 1994 World Cup?

Answer: Oleg Salenko

Salenko scored 5 of his 6 goals in Russia's match against Cameroon, thus becoming the player who has scored the most goals in one World Cup match. Hristo Stoichkov also scored six goals. Both Stoichkov and Salenko became the goal scorers of the 1994 World Cup.

2. Which was the final score of the group stage match between Spain and South Korea?

Answer: 2:2

Javier Klemente, Spain's coach at the time, said beforehand that his boys would walk around the stadium, meanwhile scoring 4-5 goals. This did not happen. The Korean's fought really hard and drew the match, but did not continue their participation in the 1994 World Cup.

3. Which of these teams, second round winners, played each other in the quarter-finals?

Answer: Germany and Bulgaria

Bulgaria won their quarterfinal match over Germany by 2-1. Italy beat Spain 2-1, Brazil beat Holland 3-2, and Sweden beat Romania 5-4 on penalties (2-2 aet).

4. Who was the oldest player at the 1994 World Cup?

Answer: Roge Milla

The Cameroonian striker was 41 when he participated in 1994 World Cup. He scored one goal against Russia when Cameroon lost 6-1.

5. Which of the following teams was in the same group, as World Cup hosts USA?

Answer: Colombia

Colombian defender Andreas Escobar was killed after the 1994 World Cup because of his own goal against USA, presumably by the Colombian mob.

Answer: Gabriel Batistuta

Batistuta scored the first, second, and fourth goals in the game. Maradona scored the third from 30 yards with a marvelous volley kick.

7. Was Australia playing at 1994 World Cup?

Answer: No

Australia lost the play-off for getting to the 1994 World Cup. They also lost the play-offs for the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, thus convincing FIFA to give Oceania a direct classification to the World Cup.

8. Which Italian was substituted by the reserve goalkeeper Luca Marcheggiani, when goalkeeper Gianlluca Pagliuca got a red card against Norway?

Answer: Roberto Baggio

This decision of the Italian coach was very strange because Roberto Baggio was the best Italian player at the 1994 World Cup. He scored five goals for Italy, including the two against Bulgaria on the semifinal for Italy's 2-1 win.

9. How many own goals were scored at the 1994 World Cup?

Answer: 1

The own goal was scored by the Colombian Andreas Escobar against USA for USA's 3-1 victory.
