Azeem Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Answer is B, a total of 13 teams have qualified from Asia per FIFA records These are : Indonesia - Appeared at the finals in 1938 as Dutch East Indies first team from Asia at the World Cup India - Qualified automatically for Brazil 1950 after all other teams withdrew in the qualification but later India withdrew themselves after FIFA didn't allow them to play barefooted South Korea - First appeared in 1954 and have qualified every time since 1982 North Korea - Famously beat Italy in 1966 and reached the quarter finals but lost to Eusebio lead Portugal after leading 3-0 till half time. Iran - After winning the Asian Cup for the third time in a row two years later qualified for Argentina 1978 where they were placed in a group with iconic teams of the times the eventual runner ups Dutch side, then SA champs Peru and that Kenny Dalglish Scotland side. Kuwait - After the expansion to 24 teams two places were reserved for Asia and Kuwaiy qualified in 1982 their only appearance so far. They won the Asian Cup two years back also, golden period of their football Iraq - Defeated Syria in the final match to qualify for Mexico 1986 the only time they did so UAE - Qualified in 1990 also the only time they were at the finals Saudi Arabia - First appeared in 1994 and made it out of the group stages where one of their players scored a memorable Maradona type solo goal Japan - They lost a crucial final game in the qualification of 1994 known as the Agony of Doha but qualified right in the next expanded France 1998 finals China - Only two places were up for grabs in 2002 because Japan and South Korea qualified as hosts and China qualified ahead of Iran who were favorites to do so.

Honduras Ok since nobody wants to answer this other than Azeem It's not Honduras. It's Equatorial Guinea (and to be honest, I'm not even 100% on that. Their accents are supposedly identical to a Spain accent)

New Zealand defeated Bahrain in the inter continental play offs in 2010 it doesn't mean they qualified from Asian qualification zone.

Harry Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 ,I don't know what Guinness would actually accept. Some recent dude that is more provable or embrace one of the legends.... Genghis Khan was often said to have more than 1000 kids but would they genuinely settle on that as a provable figure? I'll go for B, 1042.
Azeem Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 It's B The Guinness World record of most children of a human being is held by Sultan Moulay Ismael ibn Al Sharif of Morocco during 55 years of his reign he fathered 1042 children from almost 500 women, some wives many not wives Unofficial figure is 1171 but Guinness book records at 1042, his only figure greater than his kids is the number of people he executed including some of his sons. I know yall thinking he was a sex addict tyrant but i think he was just a guy living his best life
