Are you going to be watching the World Cup this summer and fear that you don’t know enough about it’s history? Do you want to impress people while watching the games by bringing up random facts and notes? Or do you simply want to increase your already vast knowledge of the beautiful game and simply seem like a walking version of a soccer encyclopedia? Well, here’s a good website for you.
I came across this website which has trivia quizzes on every World Cup from Uruguay 1930 all the way to Germany 2006. The quizzes are pretty fun, because most of them contain facts that many people don’t know.
Did you know that in 2006 in addition to practicing set pieces in training Didier Drogba and his Cote D’Ivoire teammates practiced dance moves?
Did you know that in 2002 Ronaldo adopted this ridiculous hairstyle because his son was mistaking Roberto Carlos for him on tv?
Did you know that India withdrew from the 1950 finals because they weren’t allowed to play barefoot?
This website has countless facts like that for all World Cups and in addition to trivia they of course have general World Cup records and statistics. In general, it’s a very good website to make you seem like a Soccer Einstein this summer and impress your friends.
