It is the only time in history a host has needed to play qualification games. Would have been interesting if they didn't qualify actually.

They drew 3 in 98 and 2 in 02 so i decided to take a guess.


Anyways, time for the next question.


What is the highest amount of goals in a single match in the world cup and who was it between?
 

Cloete

12 goals between Austria and Switzerland in '54. The Austrians ran out 7-5 winners.

Don't make them too hard though dave 8-)

It would be very easy to "Google" it & cheat, but I know it's one of two. The Argies & U-r-gay both won their semis 6-1 & the losing semi-finalists were The US & Yugoslavia. Trouble is I can't think who played who....

USA?

Dammit Dale, you get there before me every single time!!! :p

I think it was USA, too. Although I wouldn't have known the other semi-finalist.
