Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Not as many teams as the men's tournament, which featured 32 teams. The "Round of 16" was absent from the women's World Cup.

2. What group was known as the "Group of Death"?

Answer: A

This nickname was given to the group before group play began. Two of Group A's teams finished in the semifinals. The US finished in third place, and Sweden finished in second place, proving that the group was worthy of the nickname.

3. Which team was NOT included in the 'Group of Death'?

Answer: Brazil

Group A consisted of the United States, Sweden, Nigeria, and North Korea.

4. Which team acquired the most yellow cards?

Answer: Canada

Canada's physical play led them to 11 yellow cards. In the tournament, Argentina was the only team to receive a red card.

5. Who won the Golden Boot (most goals in the tournament)?

Answer: Birgit Prinz

Birgit Prinz of Germany found the back of the net 7 times in her 6 games played, while teammates Maren Meinert and Kerstin Garefrekes trailed in second place with 4 goals each. Katia, who only played 4 games for Brazil, also scored 4 times.

Coming into the tournament, Canada was ranked 12th. The new coach, Even Pellerud, helped Canada finish in fourth place. In 1995, Pellerud's coaching ability led Norway to win the World Cup title.

8. Which player did not make it to the Mastercard All-Star team?

Answer: Sun Wen

This World Cup was not the greatest for Sun Wen of China. She only scored 1 goal, while in 1999 she won both the Golden Boot (most goals), and Golden Ball (most valuable player).

9. Who was the youngest player to be capped by Canada?

Answer: Kara Lang

Kara Lang, who was 16 during the tournament, was capped in 2002 at the age of 15. She also held the world record as the youngest player to score in a full international game.

10. Which of the following players was a goalkeeper for Australia?

Answer: Melissa Barbieri

Cassandra Kell was the usual goalkeeper for Australia. Melissa only played in one game, though I personally liked her better. The three incorrect responses, Gillian Foster, April Mann, and Danielle Small, were part of the Australian team but none played as a goalie.
