🔍 AI Fact Check

Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal came in the quarter-final of the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, where Argentina beat England 2–1. This knocked England out of the tournament. The answer is correct and the question is accurate.

Answer 8

💡 Scotland

🔍 AI Fact Check

England vs Scotland on 30 November 1872 is widely recognised as the world's first official international football match. It ended 0-0 and was played at the West of Scotland Cricket Club in Partick, Glasgow. Marking it as 'hard' seems slightly generous — this is a well-known football history fact — but within the domain of England football it is reasonable.

Answer 9

💡 Macedonia

🔍 AI Fact Check

Wayne Rooney scored against Macedonia in a Euro 2004 qualifier on 6 September 2003, becoming England's youngest ever goalscorer at 17 years and 317 days. However, the question describes Macedonia as a 'European nation', which is accurate, but the country's official name at the time was the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM); it only became North Macedonia in 2019. 'Macedonia' is an acceptable popular shorthand and would not mislead quizzers, so this is fine. The answer and all key facts are correct.

Answer 10

💡 Pelé

🔍 AI Fact Check

Gordon Banks' save from Pelé's downward header during England vs Brazil at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico is universally regarded as the greatest save ever made. Pelé himself said he thought it was a goal. The answer is correct and the question is well-formed.
