The Joël’s Quiz: 6/6

“Who was the referee of the match?”
I know he is Romanian. We often talked about him because of the controversy over the alleged foul on Bruno Bellone during extra time… (He searches.) Mr. Igna, right? (TRUE.) 1/1

“Before this match, how many goals had Brazil conceded in this tournament?”
Zero. Like I said, it was a more solid Brazil than in 1982. (TRUE.) 2/2

“How many yellow cards were handed out during this quarter-final?”
I would say zero. There really was no bad blood, I even saw us consoling Zico after his missed penalty during the match. (TRUE.) 3/3

“Which team had the most shots on goal?”
It’s quite balanced, I think. (TRUE, we give it to him. 24 shots from each side. Brazil strikes 19 times in regular time and 5 times in extra time, France 17 in regular time, plus 7 times during extra time.) 4/4

“Approximately 10,000 spectators, how many were at the stadium?”
I kind of cheated because I recently saw it while reading stuff about this match, I believe it was 65,000. (TRUE.) 5/5

“We always say Guadalajara. But what was the name of the stadium?”
The Jalisco Stadium. Jalisco is the name of the province. (TRUE. The Estadio Jalisco, with 53,937 seats, will not host any matches during this summer’s World Cup. Four games will take place in Guadalajara, but at the Akron Stadium.) 6/6.
