From Uruguay lifting the inaugural trophy in 1930 to Argentina's shoot-out win over France in Qatar in 2022, the World Cup has produced almost a century of stories: the Maracanazo, the Hand of God, Italia '90, Zidane's headbutt and Pelé remaining the only player to win it three times.
These questions cover every tournament since 1930 — winners and runners-up, record scorers like Miroslav Klose, host nations, famous upsets and the numbers behind them. Brazil's five titles make them the most successful nation, but the details in between are where the Gold-tier questions live.
