I would guess for question 9, Germany (West) in 1954.

I believe they may have rested players against Hungary in an earlier round where they lost 8-3

Well, I have checked the answers...
Yeah, making a quiz is a good way to test your knowledge on World Cup. If the quiz can be enhanced by some pictures or even videos that could be better. Here are some samples quizzes that you may have some interest:
