International Sports Championships

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.

The qualification process for the 2010 FIFA World Cup began in early 2008, though different confederations had different start dates. The process typically spans about 2 years before the final tournament. November 2007 represents an early planning and organizational phase, which is likely what the question is targeting as the 'start' of the qualification process.

The Philippines, Brunei, and Laos are FIFA members that did not participate in the 2010 World Cup qualification round. These countries, though eligible, chose not to enter their national teams in the qualification process for various reasons including lack of football infrastructure, financial constraints, or administrative issues. The other options listed are either incorrect or include countries that did participate.

The FIFA World Cup has been held since 1930, when the first tournament was hosted by Uruguay. This marked the beginning of the premier international football competition. The tournament has been played every four years since, except for 1942 and 1946 when it was cancelled due to World War II. The year 1930 is thus the correct starting point of the World Cup's existence.

Brazil hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup, marking the second time the country hosted the tournament (first was 1950). Brazil was the only South American country to bid for 2014, making it the automatic choice after the continent's rotation in the hosting cycle.
