Zakumi was the official mascot for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, designed as a leopard with green hair. Poleo was not a World Cup mascot, Goleo was for 2006, and Wenlock was for the 2012 Olympics.

Brasilia is the capital city of Brazil, specifically built as a planned capital in 1960. It's not in Australia, Japan, or Russia.

In the 1974 FIFA World Cup, West Germany lost only one match in the group stage - to East Germany 1-0 in a politically charged match. West Germany still advanced from the group and went on to win the tournament. Haiti, Australia, and South Korea were all defeated by West Germany in the group stage.

Argentina lost their opening matches in both 1982 (lost to Belgium) and 1990 (lost to Cameroon) when defending champions. This is indeed a dubious record as champions typically perform well in their opening games. In both tournaments, they ultimately reached the final but lost. They did clear group stages on both occasions and did not score more than 3 goals in their opening matches.

Russia (including as Soviet Union) holds the record for the longest winning streak in Ice Hockey World Championship history with 27 consecutive match wins from 2005-2007. This incredible dominance represents the highest level of sustained excellence in international hockey.

Brazil has won the FIFA World Cup 5 times (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), more than any other nation. Germany and Italy follow with 4 wins each, while Argentina has 3 wins. Brazil's 1970 team, featuring Pelé, is often regarded as one of the greatest World Cup teams in history.

The FIFA World Cup trophy was called the Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970, named after the FIFA president who initiated the tournament. Brazil won the right to keep it permanently after their third victory in 1970. The current trophy is simply called the FIFA World Cup Trophy.

Goleo, a lion with a talking soccer ball named Pille, was the official mascot for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The name combines goal and Leo (lion). The other options are not official World Cup mascots.

Diego Maradona made his World Cup debut in Spain 1982, though Argentina were eliminated in the second round. His iconic performances came in Mexico 1986 where he led Argentina to victory with the Hand of God and Goal of the Century goals against England.
