😳 Football question on Günther Jauch: contestant loses €63,500 on TV | OneFootball

The moment is actually a dream for every football connoisseur: It's about 125,000 euros on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and then a question about the beloved sport comes up.

That's what happened to Marc Offenbacher on Monday evening, who was allowed to take a seat opposite Günther Jauch and made it to the 13th question. However, this turned out to be the downfall for the hoped-for rain of money.

The question was: "What is - from the perspective of the winning team - the most common final score in the men's football World Cup finals so far?"

The answer options were: A) 1:0 B) 2:1 C) 3:1 D) 4:2

After the question was asked, Offenbacher was not very enthusiastic. He emphasized that he never watches football and activated the audience lifeline. The viewer he chose advised him to choose answer B (2:1), as he had heard that football games statistically end most often with this result.

Since Offenbacher was still unsure, he also used the 50:50 lifeline. The remaining options were B (2:1) and D (4:2). With the advice of the audience in mind, the candidate finally chose answer B.

However, that was wrong. The correct answer would have been D (4:2). The World Cup finals of 1930, 1938, 1966, and 2018 each ended 4:2, while only the finals of 1934 and 1974 were decided 2:1.

The visibly upset candidate then struggled with himself and admitted that he would have been better off quitting. Understandable: If he had not answered the question, he would have gone home with 64,000 euros - as it was, he was left with 500 euros. And a football fact that he will probably never forget.
