Brazil holds the record for the most World Cup titles, having won five times (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994,
2002). Brazilian Ronaldo holds the individual record for most World Cup goals with 15.
The official mascot for the 2010 World Cup is Zakumi, and takes his name from “ZA”, the international
abbreviation for South Africa, and “kumi”, a word that means “ten” in various African languages. The first
ever mascot used was World Cup Willie in the 1966 World Cup hosted and won by England.
Yellow and red cards were not introduced to the World Cup until 1970.
The fastest sending off in any World Cup was when Jose Batista was sent off after 56 seconds in 1986
during the match between Uruguay and Scotland.
The total prize money for the 2010 World Cup is $420 million, with the winning team receiving $30 million.
Originally named ‘Victoire aux Ailes d’Or’, the golden statuette, designed by french sculptor Abel Lafleur,
was renamed ‘Jules Rimet’ in 1946 in honour of the first president of FIFA. Brazil kept it permanently after
its third win in 1970, but it was stolen in 1983 and never recovered.

sudoku
Sudoku has become almost as popular
as the crossword as the brainteaser of 5 4 1 2 3 9
choice. The idea is to put one digit from
1 to 9 into each empty squares so that 7 5 6 1
each 3x3 block, column and row incudes
one each of all the digits from 1 to 9. 2 6
We’ll give you the solution next month, or
