Dhiraagu’s FIFA World Cup 2010 SMS Quiz Answers

// May 25th, 2010 // Sports

So World Cup fever is catching on in the Maldives and I am no exception. For the record I am a fan of Brazil through thick and thin. If not Brazil then I hope Argentina wins it for Messi’s sake. No matter how stellar his performances are for Barcelona he can’t be counted among the greats until he wins a World Cup.

As part of the commercialization of the World Cup and the emergence of  SMS Quizes as the latest craze in the country, many companies and media broadcasters are promoting many competitions that can be won by sending SMS. I have to also note the large number of Sony Bravia LCD TVs up for grabs.

One such quiz is being run by Dhiraagu. Here is what they have to say about it:
