World Cup Quiz: Fill in the Blanks

January 23rd, 2010 | by: Jan |

Here’s a quiz to test your World Cup history knowledge and your ability to memorize trivial statistical data. There’s nothing to win, so no need to cheat and look up everything on the net. That would be like diving in a friendly. Take a look at the following tournament brackets and see if you can fill in the blanks and the year of the World Cup.

Oh and #5 is world cup 1990 because that was when Ireland made the quarter finals.

Germany won
Argentina

Italy
England

I think that’s right.
Oliviero

it think world cup 2 was 82 that italy won in spain
gweah

#1 is 1962 I think because Chile were hosts and Czechoslovakia lost the final to Brazil

#2 is 1986 France is missing in the top brackets and Belgium at the bottom

#3 is 1998, Netherlands beating Yugoslavia and then Argentina, Brazil beating Chile and then Denmark. Brazil beats Holland on penalties and then loses to France in the final. Aaargh memories (I’m Dutch)

#4 is 70 is 1970 I think, my only clue is the 4-3 scoreline in the semi (Italy vs West Germany). Final Brazil vs Italy 4-1

# 5 is 90 with Cameroon in the quarters I guess, Holland losing 2nd round 2-1 to Germany, Brazil losing second round 1-0 to Argentina. Germany beating England and Argentina beating Italy in the semis, both on penalties.
Germany beats Argentina 1-0 in the final.
I’m missing the bracket where Germany trashed Yugoslavia, was that in the group phase? (with that awesome Matthaus goal?)

The only one I can guess at is #2 being 1986

#5 is definitely 1990 as that is the only time Cameroon have made the knockouts.

#1 WC Chile 1962 (Measing team, Brazil)
#2 WC Mexico 1986 (the great semi´s match: WG vs France
#3 WC France 1998 (Measing teams, Holland & Brazil
#4 WC Spain 1982 I´m sure is it, because Perú played its last cup that year.
#5 WC Italy 1990 (Measing teams, Italy, Germany, England & Argentina.
