Bing Soccer Quiz – The Game the World Plays

Soccer is the most popular sport on Earth, played and watched by billions of people. Its rules are simple: two teams of eleven try to put the ball in the other team's net without using their hands, except for the goalkeeper. Yet the stories behind the game are full of surprising details that even big fans forget.

History is a good place to start. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, and the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro hosted two World Cup finals. Real Madrid dominated the early European Cup, winning its first five titles, and still holds the record for the most Champions League crowns.

Soccer is also famous for its upsets. Leicester City won the Premier League in 2016 at odds of 5,000 to 1, and Iceland stunned the world by qualifying for the 2018 World Cup. Arsenal's Invincibles went a whole season unbeaten in 2003-04, a feat no Premier League side has repeated.

The women's game keeps growing too. The United States has won the most Women's World Cups, while Spain became champion in 2023. Whatever team you follow, these facts make every match more fun to watch.
