Solutions

1:B - Mbappé's historic hat-trick in the final took him to eight goals, one clear of Messi. Giroud and Álvarez scored four goals each., 2:A - It was Modric, Golden Ball winner in 2018, after he helped Croatia to third place., 3:D - The full first line: 'Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker.', 4:B - Bellingham, Saka and Sterling struck in the first half, with Saka adding another to make it 4-0. Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish added the other goals., 5:D - These are the only four players to be sent off at the tournament – but the Wales keeper got the only straight red card for a wild foul on Iran's Medhi Taremi. Aboubakar got a second booking for his celebration after scoring a winner against Brazil., 6:C - The South Korea manager and Croatia assistant were the only coaches to be dismissed during the tournament, 7:C - After losing 2-0 to Brazil, Serbia drew 3-3 with Cameroon and lost 3-2 to Switzerland., 8:C - Mitoma pulled the ball back for Tanaka to tap home – launching the biggest goalline drama since 1966., 9:B - A tough-looking last-16 match became a stroll for England after Henderson had opened the scoring after 38 minutes., 10:A - Uruguay fans protested furiously with the referee, Daniel Siebert, but Cavani took out his frustration on VAR, shoving the monitor to the ground., 11:C - The 20-year-old Benfica striker seized his moment, scoring a historic hat-trick to justify his selection., 12:C - The France defender struck early in their semi-final; prior to that, the only goal Morocco conceded was an own goal, scored by Nayef Aguerd against Canada.

He also cautioned eight Argentina players, manager Lionel Scaloni and assistant Walter Samuel., 14:C - And what a hit it was. Kane levelled after the break, but Giroud put France back in front before the England forward's missed penalty., 15:C - Richarlison's scissor kick against Serbia took the prize.
