The Guardian has published a 15-question quiz ahead of Sunday's World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, testing readers' knowledge of the previous 22 finals. Compiled by Richard Foster, presenter of the It Started With A Kick podcast, the quiz taps into pre-final excitement by inviting fans to test their tournament history knowledge before the 23rd final kicks off.
Questions cover a wide range of World Cup final trivia, including the first player to score a penalty in a final, the unusual nature of Uruguay's 1950 win over Brazil at the Maracanã, and who scored the decisive penalty when Argentina beat France on penalties in 2022. Other questions touch on record scorers in finals, players who have appeared in three finals, the most common final scoreline, and the number of players sent off across all World Cup finals to date.
