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.

Diego Maradona captained Argentina in 16 World Cup matches between 1986 and 1994, which was the record for many years. Among the listed options he is correct. Lionel Messi later surpassed this with 19, but Messi is not an option here.

Hakan Sukur of Turkey scored the fastest goal in World Cup history, netting after just 11 seconds against South Korea in the 2002 third-place playoff. Option B 'Davor Sukur' is a garbled reference to Davor Suker of Croatia, a different player.

Sachin Tendulkar's full name is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, named after his father Ramesh Tendulkar. The other middle names (manish, vishnu, Roman) are incorrect.

Sachin Tendulkar's first commercial endorsement was Band-Aid (Johnson & Johnson) in 1989, when he was still a teenager. Later deals with MRF, Adidas and Reebok followed his rise to stardom.

Sachin Tendulkar played for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL from 2008 and captained them to the title in 2011. The other listed names (deccan, charger, riders) are not real IPL franchises associated with him.

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.
