I've been asked to put together a 10-question World Cup quiz, but I'm feeling extremely lazy at the moment so I thought I'd ask you guys...

Basically the 'audience' ranges from 'once every 4 years' fans to people with a decent knowledge of football. I don't want to set the questions so that only the football fanatics will know the answers, but I also don't want to make them so easy that they're no-brainers for anyone with a decent knowledge... I don't know if it's possible to achieve such a balance, but here's hoping...

The questions can ask about anything from the upcoming World Cup, or Korea/Japan 2002.

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your help, but I think your question's a tad too bloody difficult :)

    "Brazil are the clear favourites for the title in Germany this summer. But at what position did they finish in the South American qualification group?" (first, trick question :D)

    "How many Dutch coaches will be leading participating teams during the upcoming World Cup?" (4: Marco van Basten - Netherlands, Guus Hiddink - Australia, Dick Advocaat - South Korea, Leo Beenhakker - Trinidad & Tobago)

    Thats not a trick question as they came first or second to Argentina, they had to qualify as defending champs, well actually that should been a quiz question as which was the first team to play qualifiers as defending champs?

    I was under the impression they finished first on behalf of their better goal scoring stats:

    Code:
                            G    Pts        F                A
    1  	Brazil  	18    34  	35  	-  	17
    2 	Argentina 	18    34 	29 	- 	17

    2 	Argentina 	18    34 	29 	- 	17
    Well, they still finished first. How is it a trick question?, i don't get it.
