A wrong pick
Loses the round
  • Each round names a measure and the date of its figures. Click the one with the highest figure among those still standing; it leaves the board.
  • No round is a coin toss: the leader is always more than 5 percent clear of the runner up.
  • The figures of the last round are shown under the buttons. Keys: type a name to jump to its button, Enter to pick.
  • Pause whenever you like (Esc). The board hides while the clock is stopped.

Click the team with the highest figure for the round. The buttons and the first round appear when you start.

About this quiz

6 games take turns, each with twelve teams that have played at six or more men's World Cups. Every figure is shown once its round is over.

  • A round is only asked when one team leads by at least one.
  • Knockout wins count every knockout match won, on penalties too; third place matches are left out.
  • The last four counts third and fourth places, the beaten semi-finalists of 1930 and the final group of 1950.
  • A wrong pick still removes the true leader, so the next round is the same for everyone.
