From hosts to knockout rounds
A World Cup board can ask for a country that reached the last eight, a host nation or a player who scored in a final. The year matters: reaching the round of 16 and going out in it are different. Both co-hosts count when a question asks about hosting.
Remember the tournament, not just the trophy
Start with the edition and work back from a match you remember. In 2002, two countries shared the tournament and both reached the last 16. For questions about final goals, penalties in the match count but shootout kicks don’t. FIFA’s tournament records underpin the answers.
