Ghana's national football team is nicknamed the "Black Stars," and their flag prominently features a black star. This distinguishes them from other West African nations like Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Angola.

Uruguay won the 1950 FIFA World Cup, defeating Brazil 2-1 in the final match known as the Maracanazo. This was a major upset as Brazil was heavily favored on their home turf. Spain, Australia, and Mexico did not win this tournament.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup was hosted by South Africa, the first time the tournament was held on the African continent. Japan co-hosted in 2002, China has never hosted, and the USA hosted in 1994.

The Adidas Jabulani was the official match ball for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. The name means 'celebrate' in Zulu. The ball was controversial due to its unpredictable aerodynamic properties.

Spain won the 2010 World Cup, defeating Netherlands 1-0 in the final with a goal by Andrés Iniesta. This was Spain's first World Cup title. Brazil finished quarterfinalists, Uruguay finished 4th, and 'Perugve'/'Urugve' are misspelled.

In 1934 World Cup hosted by Italy, the host nation was required to participate in qualifiers - the only time this happened in FIFA history. All other World Cups granted automatic qualification to the host country.

West Germany scored 25 goals in the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, the most by any tournament winner. They defeated Hungary 3-2 in the final in what became known as the 'Miracle of Bern.' This record stands despite many high-scoring tournaments since then, as champions typically play fewer knockout matches.

Hungary scored 27 goals in the 1954 World Cup, the highest total by any team in a single tournament. Led by Ferenc Puskás, they scored 17 goals in the group stage alone, including a 9-0 victory over South Korea. Hungary finished as runners-up, losing to West Germany in the final despite their offensive dominance.

Uruguay, the winner of the inaugural 1930 World Cup, declined to participate in the 1934 tournament held in Italy. This was in protest against several European nations' refusal to travel to South America for the 1930 tournament. This remains the only time the reigning champion did not defend their title.

The 1996 Cricket World Cup (sponsored as Wills World Cup 1996) was sponsored by Wills, an ITC brand. Benson & Hedges sponsored the 1992 World Cup, Titan was associated with other cricket events, and Singer is a different company. The tournament was co-hosted by India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Uruguay won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, defeating Argentina 4-2 in the final. The tournament was hosted by Uruguay, who were also the defending Olympic football champions at the time. The other options are incorrect - Argentina was the runner-up, while Netherlands and South Africa did not win the inaugural tournament.

Brazil holds the record for most FIFA World Cup victories with 5 titles. Their wins came in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, and 2002. Germany and Italy follow behind with 4 wins each, making Brazil's 5 victories the correct answer.
