Soccer & FIFA World Cup Trivia (Trivia Battle)

Quick soccer question to start us off. How long is a professional soccer game without stoppage time?

Well, it's 90 minutes. 45 minute halves. 90 minutes.

That's correct.

Yay!

Welcome to Kids vs. Parents, the family trivia battle where the backseat takes on the front seat.

I'm Steve.

And I'm Lovella.

Today, we're playing soccer trivia with a bit of World Cup trivia thrown in.

This episode was suggested by efranco26 on Spotify.

Thanks, efranco.

We're getting lots of comments on Spotify.

We are.

We are.

We love our comments.

And we're getting to all those episodes you guys have requested.

We're trying to get to all of them.

We're trying to get there.

That's right.

And so this week, the World Cup kicks off.

Yeah.

Globally, around the world.

It's being played here in the US.

So we thought we would do a soccer episode to coincide with the World Cup.

Yeah.

Hopefully, you're all very excited about your country playing in the World Cup, if they're in it.

And we're excited about the USA and Australia being in the World Cup.

We are.

We're excited to watch them play.

All right.

The prize today, we normally do a prize for the winner.

But today we're going to do a punishment for the loser.

And to go in with the soccer theme, the loser of today's episode cannot use their hands.

What?

For the next five minutes.

Okay.

Okay.

So you've got to go five minutes without using your hands.

So if you're in your car, I don't know how you're going to get out of the car.

It's going to be tricky.

What if you're a parent driving?

Well, maybe.

And you're still on your way to school.

Maybe the five minutes starts when you get out of the car.

Safety first.

We want to be able to use your hands for driving.

All right.

Who goes first today, Lovella?

How about the kids?

All right.

Should we do a coin toss to figure out who goes first today, Lovella?

No, Dad.

No.

Heads or tails?

No.

Heads.

Well done.

Who goes first, Lovella?

Kids.

Well done.

All right, kids.

Get your boots on.

Shin pads in.

Here we go.

What does a yellow card mean in soccer?

Oh, a yellow card.

Has anybody on your team ever received a yellow card, Lovella?

Well, maybe once.

Okay, yeah.

But in my league, we only just started using them just this last season.

Okay.

Okay, so I know like a red card is like, yeah, you got to sit out or something or you can't

play the rest of the game, something like that.

Yeah.

A yellow card, it's like, it's a warning, I think.

A warning?

Is that your answer?

Yeah.

You are correct.

Yes.

It is a warning.

Okay.

That's right.

Do you know how many yellow cards until you get sent off?

Did I say two?

That's correct.

If you get two yellow cards, it equals a red.

Yeah, because that kind of makes sense.

And now you're off.

Yeah.

Like three.

You've got three chances.

That's right.

Or two chances and then you're off.

I promise you, you will see yellow cards and red cards all throughout the World Cup.

It can get pretty colorful.

Yeah, colorful.

Okay.

Painted with yellow and red.

Yeah, look out for those yellow cards and red cards in soccer.

There'll be some in the World Cup for sure.

All right, well done.

One on the board.

First one on the board.

First goal.

Well done.

Oh, thank you.

Let's see if you can score again.

I did a nice, clean corner kick.

Okay.

All right.

Here we go.

Question number two.

What is the job of the striker?

What is the job of the striker?

I should know this because I literally have played striker before.

Where were you in the field?

But the thing, like, is it where am I in the field?

What is the job of the striker?

It's the main job of the striker.

They're meant to be a striker because they're meant to be trying to score.

Right.

They're a striker.

Right.

They're meant to…

So, is that their job?

I guess.

You are correct.

Okay.

I don't play a striker that often.

Technically speaking, everybody's job is to score a goal.

Yes.

But, you know, the defenders, they're usually not going to get a chance to score a goal.

Their job is to stop other people from scoring goals.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

So, the job of the striker is…

To score goals.

To score goals.

That's right.

To score goals.

That is the job of the striker.

Well done.

Two on the board.

All right.

Here we go.

Question number three.

I'm going to give you a World Cup kind of question now, okay?

Ooh, okay.

Yeah.

Kind of nervous.

What country is Lionel Messi from?

Do you know who that player is?

Yes, of course.

He's like a crazy, amazing player.

He's like so popular.

He is.

So what country does he play for in the World Cup?

I don't know what country, but I know he plays like for the Miami team, but I don't know what country.

Yeah.

I mean, I kind of want to say US, but I don't think that's right.

That's okay.

Oh, man.

I'm going to guess a random country.

Okay.

But there's too many.

There is lots of.

There's too many.

Soccer is very big in this country, which doesn't really help you because soccer is actually big in quite a lot of countries.

Any idea?

You want to have a guess?

Well.

A country that loves their soccer or their football.

I'm guessing it's like somewhere in like South America maybe.

You are correct.

It is somewhere in South America.

Yep.

You're in the right place.

Give me a country in South America.

Yes.

I'm going to guess Brazil.

I don't know.

It's a good guess.

Incorrect.

Dang it.

What was it?

Argentina.

Oh, Argentina.

It's from Argentina.

It's like a light blue-ish kind of uniform.

I have seen him wearing that one.

Yeah, I see a bunch of people wearing messy jerseys

and they're light blue or pink.

That's right.

Yes, pink is Miami.

Light blue is Argentina.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, very good.

All right.

Last question.

Here we go.

I'm going to stick with World Cup.

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Because we're in the heat of World Cup at the moment.

So I love it.

Here we go.

This question's a multiple choice, Lovella.

Okay.

Which of these best describes the FIFA World Cup trophy?

So the look of the FIFA World Cup trophy.

Okay.

A, a soccer ball coming out of a cloud.

B, a player kicking a soccer ball.

Or C, two people holding up the planet Earth.

oh my gosh what huh oh man this is hard have you seen the world cup trophy before i don't i've

never i don't think i've ever watched the world cup i'm like i am in like i play soccer and

everything but i'm not like into it crazy enough to actually watch it all the time yeah and know

everything about it.

Okay.

You're going to be having

an educated guess then here.

You're just going to be having

a random guess.

Okay.

So there's a soccer ball

coming out of the cloud.

Yeah.

A player kicking a soccer ball

and then two people

holding up the earth.

Yeah.

A globe kind of thing.

Two people holding up a globe.

Okay.

This is the FIFA World Cup trophy.

So there's only one of them

in existence.

And if you win it,

you know,

you get to,

I think it gets displayed

in your country possibly

until the next one

in four years

or possibly it stays somewhere.

Oh, that's cool.

I actually don't know about that

but there's only one of them.

It's made of like gold.

Whoa.

Yeah.

Wait, that's really cool.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm going to look at what it actually is after this.

You've probably seen it on the TV.

If you watch a game, you probably see it in some capacity.

Yeah.

As an icon or an image somewhere.

Okay.

A soccer ball coming out of a cloud kind of doesn't really make sense to me.

Okay.

But I could see it as it being a trophy.

But I don't understand why it's a cloud.

So I don't think it's going to be the soccer ball coming out of the cloud.

The person kicking a soccer ball sounds like…

Like a trophy?

Yeah.

But then again, the next one is like two people holding up a globe.

Yeah.

And this is the World Cup.

Right.

So like…

I don't know.

So A, B, or C.

You're saying…

It's either B or C.

You think it's B or C.

Okay.

So a player kicking a soccer ball or two people holding up…

I don't know though.

I could be wrong.

…the earth.

You could be wrong.

You could also be right.

I don't know.

Man, I don't know.

I think I'm just going to go with the globe one.

So, see.

So, two people holding up the earth?

Yeah.

You are correct.

Yes.

Oh, my goodness.

Thank goodness.

Well done.

Yes.

Well done.

Well done.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me quickly Google it and show you what it looks like now, Lovella,

so you can see what it looks like.

So, this is the FIFA World Cup trophy.

You see it?

I think I have seen that.

It just…

Yeah.

But can you see how I was trying to trick you with a soccer ball coming out of the clouds,

too?

Because it could kind of look like that if you weren't…

You didn't look at it closely?

You could see that it kind of could look like a soccer ball coming out of clouds?

Yeah, or a soccer ball coming out of like a tornado.

Oh, okay.

That's what I see.

And it's kind of weird because it looks like the people are like,

they're not actual like people statues, but they're like…

Like representations of people almost.

Representations.

They're like in this like weird…

Twisty.

Twisty thing.

Right.

Yeah.

It looks like people, like just outlines of people in a tornado

and there's the world coming out of it.

I like that description.

Thank you.

That's good.

All right, that's halftime.

You got three out of four.

Yeah, that's really good.

So you've got three goals.

You've scored three goals.

So I've got to try and beat that.

Parents, we got to try and get three or four goals to equal or beat the kids on our team

anyway.

Go get yourself some oranges and we'll see you back here for the next half.

All righty.

Parents, are you ready to start playing?

Oh, I'm ready.

Here we go.

All right.

Question number one.

How many players are on the soccer field during a match?

How many players in total?

In total.

In total.

In total.

Okay, in total.

So that's including like the goalie.

Yes, but it's not including the referee, right?

Because he's not a player.

No, no, no, no.

How many players?

Players.

Okay, so there are, in soccer, there are 11, I believe.

Is it 11?

No, yeah, there's 11.

There is 11 on a side, including the goal.

You go 10 out.

Yes, 11.

So 22 is my answer.

You are correct.

Yes.

Good.

All right, question number two.

Which player has won the most World Cup trophies?

Oh, boy.

Which player has won the most World Cup trophies?

Won the most.

Um, and the most that is going to be, um, I think this is, um, what's his name?

I think this is Pele, who's from Brazil, I think.

I believe Brazil have won the most trophies.

Is that your answer?

Is that your guess?

So I'm going to say Pele.

That is my guess.

You're correct.

Yes.

Nice.

All right.

Love it.

All right.

Um, okay.

So he's in 2026.

So two, definitely two, definitely three.

Has he done four?

Has he done four?

I'm going to say, it's a long time.

I'm going to say three.

He's only done three.

The correct answer was six.

What?

I know.

Six?

No way.

That's a lot.

He's got to be the most.

Is he the most?

Crazy.

He played in 2006, 2010.

So that was his first one.

What country is famous for the team nickname, the Three Lions?

Oh, okay.

The Three Lions.

I wonder if that's, is that referring to the logo?

Oh, that could be, is that England?

Does England have lions in their logo?

Who knows?

Well, you know the answer.

Ah, the three lions.

Ah, or is it Scotland?

Does Scotland have lions?

No, I feel like England, they like their lions.

They put lions everywhere.
