Quiz 42 -
World Cup
I said in my last Quiz
that the Olympics are the biggest sporting
event in the world. Even as a football fan I found it far easier to set
Olympic questions than World Cup ones - I guess that the Olympics are far
more embracing than a single sport competition.
So this isn't the easiest of quizzes - you won't get question 5 right!
So will you end up as a
World Cup winner?
