About this quiz
A criteria game over the 23 men's World Cups, 1930 to 2026. Each round deals ten tournaments; every clue is computed from the results, and each set is the shortest that rules out every other year.
- Clues cover the number of teams, how the hosts did, how the final was decided, how many goals it had and which title it was for the champions.
- The 1950 World Cup had no final: the title went to the winners of a final group of four.
- A used year leaves the bank, so later rounds can be narrowed down by elimination.
