It’s quiz time again.
The stakes are getting higher and higher as we approach the latter stages of World Cup 2026. Only some players can handle the pressure – and we’ve seen plenty who snapped with glory in their sights.
It’s easy to see red in these situations, so today, we’re looking for all 80 players to have been sent off at a World Cup in the 21st Century. That doesn’t include the 2026 tournament, so just 2002 through to 2022, please. You have 18 minutes – what are you waiting for?
Handpicked football quizzes we know you’ll love
If you managed to name all 80 players, that’s some going – you’re clearly a true mastermind of the Greatest Show on Earth. As the 2026 edition approaches its climax, there’s no better time to try your hand at some of the other great quizzes that will test your knowledge of international football, courtesy of Kwizly.
Only true World Cup buffs will be able to name the Mexico line-up from their draw with South Africa at World Cup 2010, as the North Americans played their part in a memorable opening match of the tournament. If your recollections of that game 16 years ago (how is it already 16 years?) are a little hazy, we also have quizzes on this summer’s edition. With 48 teams at the tournament for the first time, there are more coaches than ever before – so can you name every manager at World Cup 2026?
It’s not just about the World Cup, though, and as the Three Lions continue their quest for glory across the pond, we’re challenging you to tell us every location England have played a home match. Meanwhile, connoisseurs of the game across the Channel can test their knowledge with our Big France Football Quiz, with questions on everything from Antoine Griezmann to Zinedine Zidane.
