Today’s big quiz is all about the Germans
Football is a simple game, Gary Lineker once said: you play for 90 minutes and then Germany win. And Die Mannschaft, more often than not, get their own way, with four World Cup titles in the locker and three European Championships to boot.
Over the years, Deutschland has produced some of the most celebrated footballers of all time – and plenty of ruthlessly efficient Average Josefs at domestic level, who rack up cap after cap to become international goliaths. So tell us who: 57 names to guess in just 15 minutes.
Handpicked football quizzes we know you’ll love
While remembering the iconic trophy lifts and famous tournament matches is great for a casual chat, a true mastermind knows how to dig beneath the surface of the global game. To see if your tactical stamina can keep pace with the unfolding drama of World Cup 2026 across North America, we’ve got a few more quizzes for you – courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re starting with a sharp look at the elite talent that missed out on the flight to Canada, Mexico, and the United States, challenging you to identify the most valuable players who didn’t make it to World Cup 2026. Once you’ve audited the high-profile absentees, pivot to the clinical marksmen who absolutely seized their moment on the grandest stage of all by trying to name every World Cup hat-trick scorer since 1998. It is a ruthless trial of penalty-box perfection that separates casual summer fans from deep-cut archival experts.
If your scouting network excels at tracking veteran leadership or the deep-cut folklore of international history, we have an incredible double-header waiting for you in the tunnel. You can filter the current tournament rosters for ultimate longevity by trying to name every player at World Cup 2026 with over 100 caps, celebrating the evergreen leaders who bring invaluable experience to the big stage this month. Following that, throw yourself directly into the crossfire of our Ultimate World Cup Quiz to check your memory on nearly a century of iconic goals, shock losses, and unforgettable tournament controversies.
