Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is the Soccer World Cup. Did you know:

• 194 country teams competed in the preliminary World Cup games (not including France, Korea and Japan who automatically qualified), with 777 games played in the lead up to the 2002 finals at Korea/Japan.
• On average each of the games in the 1998 World Cup was watched by 522 million viewers. That is almost twice the population of the United States and 28 times that of Australia.
• In the 16 World Cup competitions there have been only 7 countries who have won the cup. Brazil has won four times, Italy and Germany winning 3 times each, Uruguay and Argentina twice each and England and France have both won once.
• The youngest person to score a goal in a world cup finals match is the famous Pele from Brazil in 1958 - he was only 17 years old.
• The fastest goal to have been scored was scored in 1962 by Czechoslovakia's Vaclav Masek after only 16 seconds of play against Mexico.
