	nice quiz

	JakePFC:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 16:30 GMT	7 points
	Really excellent quiz. Deserves to be published.

	Lauro:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 22:55 GMT	1 point
	What a great quiz! Thx a lot!!!

	strags11:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 04:50 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz. I actually got all the countries but, like a typical American, there was just no way I was going to name more than a handful of players unless you accepted phoenetic spellings. :)

	Xala83:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 18:45 GMT	2 points
	What a quiz !!! By far One of the best quizzes on the website !!!

	Marshall:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 18:57 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz, one small thing for some reason when you type in "Nejedly" only one of his 2 answers appear

	darth_shrimper:	Aug 22nd, 2010 at 18:38 GMT	1 point
	5/5. A confession though; I only got the 2002 Bronze winner when trying to type 'Boniek'!. Note to Sporcle - publish this. Now.

	ChanandlerBong:	Aug 22nd, 2010 at 22:50 GMT	2 points
	You need to accept Nejedly without the accents. I also thought Didi won the Golden Ball in 1958, not Kopa?

	Auguste:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 09:16 GMT	1 point
	Nominated !

	TessSGS:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 16:00 GMT	2 points
	Hong Myung-Bo's surname is Hong and not Bo, apart from that 5/5, great quiz =)

	footofstanley:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 14:34 GMT	1 point
	Brilliant quiz, by far one of the best i've had the pleasure of attempting on here. 5/5 and must be nominated without a doubt

	ronnymexico:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 15:35 GMT	6 points
	Great quiz. One suggestion would be to accept "Carlos Alberto" for "Carlos Alberto Torres." That's how he is commonly known in the Brazilian naming tradition, e.g., if you look at the lineups for the 1970 World Cup Final it only lists "Carlos Alberto" in the Brazilian side along the likes of Pele, Tostao, Jairzinho, etc. etc.

	@quent1979: 24.3 million of us watched the Spain-Holland game last World Cup. I'd say we do give a damn about it.

	betraisefold:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 20:27 GMT	7 points
	@quent1979: The majority of sports quizzes are about the sports that (I assume) you are referring to - but there is room on Sporcle for quizzes about virtually anything and everything and I intend to use my Editor Picks to highlight a wide variety of quizzes. To only choose quizzes on the big 4 sports would exclude the interests of a huge part of the world. That being said, I must admit that my knowledge outside of the traditional North American sports is quite limited - I could definitely use help from the Sporcle crowd to help me find great quizzes on some of the other sports. One way to do that is through nominations and you can also contact me at betraisefoldSporcle@hotmail.com with any suggestions. Thanks in advance for the help.

	@lpw88: Landon Donovan wasn't the best player at the 2002 WC, he was just the best YOUNG player. It says it right there on the column. Plus he is the best player on the US team, I'm not surprised he got the award.

	BiloxiSean:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 22:08 GMT	0 points
	@lpw88 - 2002 World Cup Cup was Landon Donovan's coming out party, as he had a fantastic World Cup, and helped lead to US to their second best finish in the tourney's history. BTW, the US is STILL the only non UEFA (Europe)/CONMEBOL (South America) country to reach the semi-finals.

	I know that the name has changed, but can you accept czech republic, GREAT quiz though

	LB1973:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 04:58 GMT	5 points
	Umm South Korea BiloxiSean

	Brabant:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 11:20 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz, and look at that beautiful distribution on the percentile statistic.

	XBigWill1X:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 11:56 GMT	1 point
	Can't believe Zidane didn't win any of the individual awards in 98.

	magnum214:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 12:40 GMT	2 points
	@BiloxiSean: South Korea got to the semis in 2002. They were the second non-UEFA/CONMEBOL team to do so.

	Not sure what I did to get Oleg Salenko, but it certainly wasnt guessing his name.

	epicwin:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 15:02 GMT	1 point
	@y2jdilemma: Salenko was joint top scorer along with Hristo Stoichkov, so I'm guessing that you got Salenko by typing in Stoichkov

	y2jdilemma:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 15:18 GMT	1 point
	Ahhhh ok. Yeah, that would be what happened. Thanks.

	h4ydn:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	1 point
	great quiz

	TomH1990:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 15:23 GMT	1 point
	Fantastic quiz, I found the 95 countries rather straightforward but could only get 26 players. Anyway, nominated. :)

	ALostForest:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 15:46 GMT	1 point
	@dlte NO!

	teh_DR:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 16:02 GMT	2 points
	Damn... i can get most of the top categories... but players... i think i'll only get the 4-5 most recent world cups + the 3 famous strikers that comes to mind when i think "World Cup".

	GoonerLover66:	Apr 28th, 2011 at 19:43 GMT	2 points
	How is Nejedly only accepted for the Bronze Ball answer but not for the Golden Ball answer?

	devzrulz:	May 1st, 2011 at 20:44 GMT	1 point
	come on, please accept "Elkær" for Preben Elkjær, not only "Elkjaer".. And I second the Nejedly comments

	maaxwell:	May 3rd, 2011 at 08:30 GMT	1 point
	Yeah gotta sort out Nejedly as GoonerLover66 said

	Rasterax:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 11:47 GMT	0 points
	FYI: The Golden/Silver/Bronze Ball Awards (best players) did not exist until 1982. The Wikipedia lists awards for all prior tournaments, but they were made up by the editors of the site - just take a look at the site history and see how different editors have put in different names over the years (Silver Ball 1978 used to be Rob Rensenbrink, not Paolo Rossi). When it says Ferenc Puskas was named the best player of 1954 when he was in fact injured for half of the tournament, you know the list is fake. It's a great quiz otherwise. Just wanted you to know not to take the player awards prior to 82 seriously.

	Resistance:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 13:41 GMT	1 point
	They're individually listed on the FIFA website.

	Rasterax:	Jul 27th, 2011 at 22:42 GMT	1 point
	They are? Could you provide a link? If so, it contradicts this link on the FIFA site which says the Golden Ball has been 'Presented to the outstanding player at each FIFA World Cup™ since 1982': http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/southafrica2010/news/newsid=1270361/
