World Cup Trivia

[tototoner]

Just a quick one

Name a player who played in four World Cups but never played in a World Cup qualifier?

 

[Marty]

I'd guess Pele

 

[tototoner]

No, he's European

 

[tototoner]

Another clue, tournaments were 82 86 90 and 94

 

[Deleted member 27995]

A goal keeper perhaps ... Then again it says played ...

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Maldini?

 

[Marty]

The tournaments surprise me, my next guess would've been Bobby Charlton or maybe a German who played in the same period...

 

[tototoner]

Maldini?

Right country

obviously its Giuseppe Bergomi.

Beppe Bergomi called up as an 18 year old in 82 didn’t have to qualify 86 or 90 then a late addition to squad in 94

Oh cool, I was going to go with Baresi next but I may well still have been here at midnight!

Good bit of trivia, that. Would never have got that right.

Another one: Which country has lost the most games at the World Cup finals?

gissa clue...which continent?

 

[werty]

[Marty]

Mexico?

Is bang on. 25 defeats at the World Cup finals, Argentina and Germany joint second with 21.

Another one from me - only player to score for two different countries in world cups?

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Boban?

 

[werty]

Di Stefano?

Ooh I read about this one a few days ago but I'm drawing a complete blank. Argentina in '30 and Italy in either '34 or '38, wasn't it?

Both wrong but 1 on the right track
