What is the lowest ever attendance at a World Cup match?

That would be the 300 people who were entertained by Romania's 3-1 defeat of Peru at the Estadio Pocitos in Montevideo in 1930.

Starting to run out of questions now

That's right. Your go

Lol, I'm not! Not yet anyway...!

Bump

Oleg Salenko is correct, and that set the new record for most goals in one World Cup game. Your go

What unusual circumstances surrounded the 1998 World Cup qualification match between Estonia and Scotland?

Didn't the Estonian team not turn up? And as a result, with none of their players on the pitch, the ref blew it up 3 seconds after kickoff. (I think the rematch finished 0-0)

Yeah. Estonia didn't want to travel after the kick-off was brought forward (inadequate floodlights). Scotland wanted a default win but were made to replay, which finished 0-0.

At least the Scotland fans took it in good spirit, as they chanted "There's only 1 team in Tallinn"

Your go

How many games in the knockout rounds (up to and including the final and 3rd/4rd place game) did Pierluigi Collina referee during the 1998 FIFA World Cup?

3

3 is incorrect

Pierluigi Collina didn't referee any knockout games at the 1998 World Cup.

He only refereed at two group games, which were France v Denmark and Netherlands v Belgium

(source: Wikipedia)

Correct. It was the following World Cup of course that he refereed the final and one or two other games. Well done, your go

What happened to England captain Bobby Moore shortly before the start of the 1970 World Cup?

Arrested for theft I do believe? Something I'd known before but got reminded of when researching my 1970 World Cup question. He was arrested (and charged too I think) for stealing jewellery from a jeweller's shop.
