stump the schwab

i'm watching stump the schwab and they had a soccer category!

1 point:
in the 2006 world cup, eventual champions won all of their games except one.  who was the only team they did not beat.

2 points:
in the 2002 world cup, the US advanced to the 2nd round, and won one game there to get into the quarterfinals.  who did they beat?

3 points:
in 1974 and 1978 the netherlands lost in the world cup final to the host country each time.  name the countries they lost to each of those years.

all pretty easy!

earlier in the game there was a tie breaker between 2 guys.  the question: in some year 199X the san diego padres set a record by using the most pitchers throughout the year, how many pitchers did they use.  one guy guess 24, the other guy guess 482.  482 pitchers in one year, even 482 players in one year is kinda crazy.  wow!

and i was shocked, the contestant got all the soccer questions right.  he said his answer for #2 was a total guess, but he seemed to know the answer to #3 pretty quick, and it was an american dude.

do you know the answers, without cheating?  i did!
