The article recounts amusing and unusual episodes in World Cup history: the dispute over which ball to use in the 1930 final, whose first half ended with Argentina leading 2–1 before Uruguay won 4–2; the discovery of the stolen Jules Rimet Trophy by the dog Pickles in 1966; and the introduction of yellow and red cards in 1970. It also tells of other notable events, including Maradona’s two contrasting goals against England in 1986, referee Graham Poll mistakenly showing Croatian player Šimunić three yellow cards in 2006, and Senegal’s elimination from the 2018 World Cup on fair-play points after receiving six bookings to Japan’s four. It concludes with the 2026 edition, which it says was held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico with 48 teams, and in which all three host nations were knocked out in the Round of 16.
