International Sports Championships

Germany (including West Germany) has conceded the most goals in World Cup history, a consequence of having played a very large number of tournament matches over many editions.

Before South Africa 2010, the most recent Southern Hemisphere World Cup was Argentina 1978. Chile 1962 was also in the Southern Hemisphere but earlier, while Mexico 1970 and USA 1994 were Northern Hemisphere hosts.

West Germany beat the Netherlands (Holland) 2-1 in the 1974 World Cup final in Munich. The other nations listed did not face Germany in that final.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup was hosted by South Africa, the first World Cup held on the African continent. Cape Town was one host city, but the country is the correct answer; 'masreu' (likely garbled) and Windhoek (Namibia) are wrong.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil, the first World Cup held in South America since 1978. South Africa hosted in 2010, while England and France hosted earlier editions (1966 and 1998 respectively).

Germany hosted the 2006 FIFA World Cup, making it the second time Germany hosted the tournament (after 1974 as West Germany). The final was held in Berlin's Olympiastadion where Italy defeated France on penalties. England hosted in 1966, Brazil is a multiple host but not in 2006, and Italy was a winner, not the 2006 host.

The first FIFA World Cup was played in 1930 in Uruguay, who also won the tournament. Thirteen teams participated, and it marked the beginning of the world's most prestigious football competition. The years 1935, 1945, and 1950 are incorrect as no World Cup was held during those years (the next ones were 1934, then 1950 after WWII interruptions).

The first FIFA World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. Uruguay was chosen as the host nation and also won the tournament, defeating Argentina 4-2 in the final. Option A correctly identifies Uruguay as the host country.

The 1930 FIFA World Cup in Uruguay featured 13 teams from three continents. Seven teams from South America, four from Europe, and two from North America participated. Option C correctly states that 13 teams participated.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa was the 19th edition of the tournament. The question asks which edition was being held in South Africa starting June 11th. Option B correctly identifies it as the 19th World Cup.

Brazil has won the FIFA World Cup 5 times: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. This makes Brazil the most successful nation in World Cup history, tied with Germany for most victories. Option D correctly states 5 World Cup wins.
