I'm pretty bored as you can probably tell, but I love a good quiz.

This one will be ten questions long. I know it's probably a waste of time given that some people will probably use Google, but please be honest and don't cheat. The winner (the user who answers most questions correctly by the time I decide to end it) gets 5 billion points.

If you're going to cheat then please don't bother!

I remember watching something about the 1950 World Cup years ago. Loads of people killed themselves and most of the players retired in shame.
