World Cup Trivia

[KC McElroy]

What is the most number of former World Cup winners a country has faced in the World Cup? What year, what country and who were the opponents?

[radin119]

Name 2 countries that have used 3 different goalkeepers (actual goalkeeprs in goal, not a field player in goal or goalkeeper playing as a field player) on the field during the World Cup.
Not necessarilly a World Cup question but what player has zero international caps to his name and yet one international goal scored?

what is the answer to the second question?

[KC McElroy]

what is the answer to the second question?

Some Swiss guy. To receive a full cap in Switzerland you must play at least 45 minutes in a game. This guy played 3 games as a sub, each one with less than 45 minutes remaining thus he never won a full cap but still scored a goal. I forget his name, I have to look it up.

[KC McElroy]

Correct although there is one more player you could have said for the 1st question.

The 4th player is Hugo Sanchez.

[KC McElroy]

What player pooped his pants on the field during a World Cup game (which in fact he scored in)?

What is the only club team in the world to feature the World Cup winning captains of the two immediate previous World Cups (hint: each one is from a different country)?

What is the only club team in the world to feature the World Cup winning captains of the two immediate previous World Cups (hint: each one is from a different country)?

Real Madrid:

2010 Iker Casillas
2006 Fabio Canavaro

[KC McElroy]

Real Madrid:

2010 Iker Casillas
2006 Fabio Canavaro

Canavaro left Real Madrid before Casillas captained Spain to a World Cup title. They were never at the same club while both being former World Cup champions as Canavaro left Real Madrid in 2009 prior to Casillas winning the World Cup.

[KC McElroy]

A huge hint is that the club that these two World Cup winning captains were playing for currently plays in its country's 2nd division. That should at least eliminate most of the possible candidates.

What is the most number of times 2 countries have faced each other in the World Cup? What 2 countries are they and in what years did they meet?

What country has a record of being drawn with 2 European countries and 1 African country in every single World Cup it has qualified for? They have qualified for more than World Cup just in case you decide to name a country whom in their single World Cup had such a group.

What country and in what year did a country play 6 World Cup games but only against 4 opponents?

1) Brazil 1958 faced 6 (England, Austria, USSR, Wales, France, Sweden)

2) I'm not sure but maybe the number is 4 opponents for: Yugoslavia 1930, Spain 1950 and Poland 1978?

3) Brazil-Sweden 7 times 1938, 1950, 1958, 1978, 1990 and twice in 1994.

4) Saudi Arabia

5) Germany in 1954, because they played Turkey and Hungary twice.
