Hmm? Sweden won only one world cup, IIRC.

As for Q 20: could it be East-Timor?

No, Sweden haven't won the amount of world cups you have mentioned.

And not East-Timor.

@BOC - You're right.

[metal leper]

I think Italy have won it 3 times, and I know they've lost in the final at least once, don't know about how many times they've been 3rd though

But I should be revising - last exam tomorrow, woohoo!

Maybe after that I'll sift through any still unanswered questions...

[Fabius Maximus]

Franz Beckenbauer

Well, to my defense, this guy gets on my nerves. so I tend to ignore him.

No, Sweden haven't won the amount of world cups you have mentioned.

Well, It's late (or early). They never won a WC.

Not East-Timor. Well, that beats me. Maybe Saar-Louis? Or 'Saarland' in german?

[Register]

Italy have won 3 times, yes. (1934, 1938, and 1982) They have not been second the amount of times you have mentioned.

Well, to my defense, this guy gets on my nerves. so I tend to ignore him.

Well, It's late (or early). They never won a WC.
Not East-Timor. Well, that beats me. Maybe Saar-Louis? Or 'Saarland' in german?

Right, Sweden have never won a WC. Their best positions are third place 1950 and 1994 and second place 1958.

And it is not Saar-Louis.

[BOC]

9. Which player have scored the most goals in one WC tournament?

I think that he must be Gerdt Muller in 1974.

[Register]

Wrong!! First of, it wasn't Müller. He holds the third place of most goals in a single WC tournament and it wasn't even '74 he won the Golden Boot award, it was in 1970.

[metal leper]

Did this person only have one arm?

[Register]

Y'now, I really have NO idea. I can, however, give you a clue; he won the Golden Boot award in Sweden -58.

[Barmy Army]

Haha. I guess he ain't great for marking on set-pieces

[Register]

Cruel, very cruel.

Also, as I have edited in on my original post, if there is any question you know you'll never know the answer off, just tell me and I will spoil you.

[metal leper]

Just Fontaine!

He had 2 arms though - I wish I could remember the name of the guy I was thinking of though

[Register]

Bingo!! He scored 13 times during that tournament, and he still holds the record of most goals during one WC tournament.

[Fabius Maximus]

Caleb, please spoil me on Question 20. I got to know this.
