Dave Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 78 - 1978 was the year where Tunisia became the first African team to win a World Cup match. 77 - The amount of countries that have participated in a World Cup. 76 - In 1976 in Rio de Janeiro, a boy was born by the name of Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. 75 - In 1975 everybody's favourite team won the Copa America, Peru.
Dave Posted April 1, 2018 Author Posted April 1, 2018 74 Days.... In 1974, artists from seven countries submitted a total of 53 designs for a new trophy, with Italian Silvia Gazzaniga winning the vote. “The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world, "From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory.”

Administrator Stan Posted May 4, 2018 Administrator Posted May 4, 2018 this is why Peru should not be in the World Cup.
Azeem Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 @The Palace Fan I'm taking over this thread 30 days to go: Diop sinks Les Bleus 30 - the number of minutes that had elapsed on the clock at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on 31 May 2002 when Senegal’s Pape Bouba Diop scored the only goal of their Group A match against France, capitalising on a mix-up between Emmanuel Petit and Fabien Barthez. The goal went down in history as Senegal’s first at the FIFA World Cup™ and it allowed the Lions of Teranga to mark their tournament debut with a famous victory against the reigning world and European champions, who went into the competition as firm favourites. It was a defeat that weighed heavy on Roger Lemerre’s men. Denied the services of Zinedine Zidane, who had picked up a thigh injury a few days earlier, the French also went without scoring in their next two matches and finished bottom of the section. As for Bruno Metsu’s charges, they took second place in the pool behind Denmark and enjoyed further success by reaching the quarter-finals, where they faced Turkey and went out to an extra-time golden goal.
JuliKornilina Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 The World Cup 2018 in Russia is coming up very soon! Only 29 days left! Over 600.000 of fans have already gotten their FabIDs. And do you have yours already?

Azeem Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 29 days to go: Scoring sensations 29 players from 19 countries have had the honour of being the leading or joint-leading goalscorer at the 20 previous editions of the FIFA World Cup™. Argentina’s Guillermo Stabile was the first of them, courtesy of the eight goals he scored at the inaugural world finals at Uruguay 1930, while Colombia’s James Rodriguez was the latest to join that list, thanks to his six-goal haul at Brazil 2014. France’s Just Fontaine still holds the record for the most goals scored at a single World Cup: 13 at Sweden 1958. Gerd Muller ran him close in grabbing ten goals to help West Germany finish third at Mexico 1970, while the scoring honours were very evenly shared at Chile 1962, with six players sharing top spot with four goals apiece. At every World Cup between Argentina 1978 and France 1998, the leading goalscorers each struck six goals. Mario Kempes started the trend, with Paolo Rossi continuing it at Spain 1982, followed by Gary Lineker at Mexico 1986, Salvatore Schillaci at Italy 1990, Oleg Salenko and Hristo Stoichkov at USA 1994, and Davor Suker in France. Brazil striker Ronaldo then raised the bar once more with eight goals at Korea/Japan 2002. Ronaldo’s overall tally of 15 World Cup goals beat the record set by Muller in 1974 and stood until 2014, when Germany’s Miroslav Klose struck the 16th goal of a career that spanned four consecutive world finals. Just for good measure, Klose also bowed out with a World Cup winners’ medal in Brazil.
