Actually, I made this quiz more than 5 years ago! The date at the top is just the most recent edit, which was made by Quizmaster. You can see the older dates on the comments higher up.
I hope that on the back of each team's shirt, you don't see the player's name, but the name of one of the migrant workers who died building the infrastructure for this world cup.
He's not wrong though. Estimates are that several thousand workers are going to die during construction. Kinda stupid. People get all twisted about Putin invading Ukraine, but Qatar lets 4,000 people die for the sake of a soccer tournament and nobody cares. It's very unsettling.
New Zealand missed out qualifying in a very heartbreaking match with "atrocious refereeing". https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fifa-world-cup/article-10917829/World-Cup-2022-New-Zealand-Whites-fail-qualify-controversial-loss-Costa-Rica.html
First, congrats for a great quiz! Second, a case could be made to put teams in the order they were drawn in groups. That is how us WC geeks like to arrange them in our brain and that would make this a little harder while I can totally understand the alphabetical order.
Wow, Saudi qualified again? I remember when I was working there and the collective shame my students felt about their previous best showing which I think was losing 8-1 to Germany.
Yes! Actually 8-0 in 2002 vs Germany in Japan. Although 8 years prior in the States, Saeed al-Owairan gave Saudi students nothing to be ashamed of with a spectacular goal vs Belgium.
I was very surprised that the United Kingdom was not on the list. It wasn't until after I'd given up that I remembered that the constituent countries each have their own team.
I'm happy with a 19/32. It took me over a minute to realize it was the names of countries and not things like Arsenal and Manchester United. Haha -- I'm learning!
Will we still be doing this in 4 years do you think lol
lol
How young are you?
guess I'll try next World Cup
Written in Arabic.
And third, Go CANADA!!
Still had 26/32 though, pretty pleased about being average. xD
I've created a quiz on all world cup hosts and finalists, give it a go if you're interested.
