3. Which country has won the World Cup the most?

Brazil is the most successful national football team in the history of the World Cup, with five championship wins under their belt. Brazil has also qualified for every World Cup match without the need for playoffs.

2. When did the World Cup first start?

The first ever World Cup match was played in Uruguay in 1930. Thirteen teams from around the world competed, and the host nation Uruguay became the first ever nation to win the world cup with a 4-2 triumph over Argentina.

1. Why do Brazil play in a yellow kit?

The Brazilian team originally played in a white kit, until they lost the World Cup at home in 1950. The kit was then seen as "cursed" and a campaign was launched to design a new one.

An 18-year-old named Aldyr Garcia Schlee came up with the winning design of yellow and green shirts with blue shorts.

The kit was nicknamed the "Canarinha" which means canary.

Rafael Nadal has won his ninth French Open title after beating Serbia's Novak Djokovic.

The world number one won in four sets 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-4 in a final that lasted more than three hours in hot conditions.

He's the first man ever to win a major title nine times, taking his Grand Slam total to 14.

The victory also means he will stay as world number one ahead of Djokovic, who's ranked number two.

At the start of the match it was Djokovic who started off stronger, taking the first set but he couldn't find a way to beat Nadal.

"It was an emotional day. I have tried with all my power, my strength, my capacities but Rafa was the strongest on court," Djokovic said.

"In matches like this every moment is crucial. Playing against Novak is always a big challenge, I had lost against him the last four times," Nadal said on court.

"I feel sorry for him today, he deserves to win this tournament."

Special events to mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day, one of the major turning points of World War Two, are taking place ahead of Friday's commemoration attended by world leaders in France.

UK veterans of the landing in World War Two, who arrived in France 70 years ago, will be on HMS Bulwark as it sails to Normandy from Portsmouth.

Former troops, cadets and serving members of the armed forces will parade in Portsmouth.

In France, the Prince of Wales is to attend a memorial service to mark the taking of the strategic Pegasus Bridge, captured by British troops minutes after landing.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh will mark the D-Day anniversary during a state visit to France which begins later today in Paris. They'll attend an international service of commemoration attended by royals, presidents and prime ministers.

Have you ever got frustrated at not winning rock-paper-scissors against your friends? Well researchers in China may have come up with a way to help...

Scientists got 360 people to play the game 300 times each and watched what happened.

They found that people don't tend to choose their next move randomly.

Instead winners tend to stick with their winning move, and losers tend to change.

So if your friend has just used a rock and won, there's a good chance that they'll do it again, so you should switch to paper to try and beat them.

Whether you call it rock-paper-scissors or scissors-paper-stone, see if you can use this trick to beat your friends!

Scientists look at the way people behave in games like this to study human behaviour in other parts of life.
