argentina and sweden will meet each other in the wc. they have met each other once before. when was it and what was the result?

 

[MCdread]

In the WC of 1934. Sweeden won 3-2.

 

[animepornstar]

correct mcdread. next question is your.

 

[MCdread]

In 1986 Mexico hosted the WC for the second time, but in 1978 a different country was appointed to do that. What was that country, and why did they give up?

 

[MCdread]

Oh c'mon people! This is not that hard. It's an american country.

 

[willemvanoranje]

All I know it was held in Argentina and that Holland should've won, and that politics were involved too much (the Dutch were seriously intimidated and flashed before the match). I go for......Canada? Otherwise Chili? (btw, north-american or south-american)

 

[duke o' york]

No, because Canada have never hosted a world cup. The country he wanted was going to host the World Cup for the second time in 1978. I think it was always supposed to be Argentina, but after the 1976 junta there were severe doubts about whether the tournament would go ahead. Once the new regime convinced the football authorities that it would be safe to play the World Cup then they didn't alter the host country. The only prior countries in the Americas to host World Cups were Uruguay, Brazil and Chile (and Mexico, but they were part of the question) so it has to be one of those. But which?

 

[MCdread]

Ooops... you misunderstood me. Perhaps it was my bad english.
I want the country that was appointed in 1978 to host the WC in 1986. But because this country gave up in 1983, Mexico was appointed to host it for the second time.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Seems like we both misunderstood.

I really have no idea actually, what American country it could've been. I say.......the US?

 

[MCdread]

No, it was not the US. It's a south american country and it never hosted a WC.

 

[duke o' york]

The country that was supposed to hold it is Columbia, and they had to withdraw because they couldn't afford to hold it.

Scored six, conceded one.
