The 2022 World Cup has already begun, with Qatar, the opener losing 2-0 to South American powerhouse Ecuador, and they also set a record: the first host to lose in the opener, after 16 wins and six draws in the previous 22 editions. Asian football has a long way to go, and the gap in strength between Asian football and European and American football powers is huge.
Since the first World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, a series of records have been born, and today Lao Shen takes you to review the World Cup records to see which one is the easiest to break.
1. Ball king Pele set two records
In 1958, when he was under 18 years old, Pele was selected for the Brazilian national team roster, scoring in 17 years and 239 days, making him the youngest goalscorer in World Cup history, helping Brazil win the World Cup three times in 1958, 1962 and 1970, and Pele is the only player to have three World Cups to date.
2. The player who scored the most goals and the oldest goal scorer in a single game
In the 1994 World Cup, Russia 6:1 Cameroon, the match gave birth to two records, Russian player Salenko staged "five sons denko", the player who scored the most goals in a single game in the history of the World Cup.
Uncle Mira scored a face-saving goal for Cameroon, becoming the oldest goalscorer in the World Cup at 42 years and 39 days.
3. World Cup losing streak and winning streak record
Between 1930 and 1958, Mexico participated in four World Cups, with a record of 1 draw and 10 defeats, and a wave of 9 consecutive defeats, which was the longest losing streak.
Brazil won the 1998 World Cup final 0:3 France, sending the host to cap, and since then, Brazil has ushered in an 11-game winning streak of World Cups, 7 consecutive wins in 2002, and 4 consecutive wins in three group stage +1/8 finals in 2006, winning 11 consecutive wins in one fell swoop, and losing 0:1 to old rival France in the 1/4 knockout round.
4. World Cup single-session goal record and maximum point difference
In 1954, Hungary scored a total of 27 goals, which is a single World Cup goal record, including a 9-0 win against South Korea, which was South Korea's first World Cup match, it seems that the national football team is better than them, our first game in 2002 was just 0:2 loss.
In the 1982 World Cup, Hungary once again contributed a record, that is, the largest score gap, they swept El Salvador 10:1! None of the double-digits on the scoreboard...
5. The oldest player to win the World Cup
Zoff, 40 years old won the title at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, and he is the biggest champion player of all time.
6. The player who scored the most goals in a single World Cup
Fontaine's 13 goals, a record that may be difficult to break, can be described as unprecedented, because the World Cup can play up to 7 games, generally 5-7 goals to win the Golden Boot. Lao Shen takes you back to the highlight moments of Xia Dan:
7-3 win over Paraguay, Fontaine scored a hat-trick;
2-3 loss to Yugoslavia, Fontaine scored twice;
2-1 win over Scotland, Fontaine scored another goal;
4-0 win over Northern Ireland (quarterfinals 1/4), Fontaine scored again;
Eliminated by Brazil 2-5 in the semifinals, Fontaine scored a goal; In the three- or four-place final against Germany, Fontaine staged his senior year, and France also beat Germany 6-3 to win the third place.
With 13 goals in a single tournament, the 24-year-old Fontaine was undisputed the title of the world's cup's top scorer, while also setting a record for the highest goal scored in a single World Cup.
However, due to injuries, Fontaine announced his retirement at the age of 28, and unfortunately he only participated in one World Cup, and if he played again, there would be no victory.
7. World Cup total goal record
German Klose 16 goals!
In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Klose played in the World Cup for the first time, he scored 5 goals, and Germany finished runner-up.
At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Klose scored five goals again to help the team finish third and win the World Cup Golden Boot.
At the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Klose scored four goals.
At the 2014 World Cup in Russia, Klose scored two more goals to help the team lift the Hercules Cup. So far, Klose surpassed alien Ronaldo with 16 World Cup goals to become the player with the most World Cup goals.
8. Appeared in 3 consecutive World Cup finals
Brazil's Cafu started three consecutive World Cup finals, 1994, 1998, 2002, if it were not for the sluggish performance of aliens, Cafu even won three consecutive World Cups, becoming the first man in history.
9. Lead five teams to qualify for the World Cup
Milou has led five teams from the national football team, the United States, Mexico, Nigeria and Costa Rica to the World Cup, a height that no other coach can reach. In particular, it is most difficult to take the national football team to the World Cup.
10. Fastest goal and latest goal
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup third-place match, Turkish striker Hakan Suker scored just 11 seconds into the opening match against South Korea.
In 2014, Algeria's Dabou scored in the 121st minute against Germany.
Fastest score: Germany vs Brazil in 2014, Germany's Toni Kroos scored in 23:55, 25:04.
Fastest hat-trick: In 1982, Hungary's Lászro Kis scored in the 70th, 74th and 77th minutes against El Salvador, and he was the only substitute to score a hat-trick at the World Cup; Argentina's Batistuta scored three goals in just 10 minutes against Jamaica at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France
Of course, there are other records as well:
Brazil has played in the World Cup 23 times in a row
Mateus made 25 appearances
Maradona World Cup 8 assists
Mascherano has 7 yellow cards
Zidane personally 2 red cards
The national football team lost only 3 games in the World Cup...
Lao Shen thought that Fontaine's single-season individual 13 goals were the hardest, and it was really difficult to break! Modern football pays more attention to the defense, even if it plays 7 games, the average is close to 2 goals per game, the main reason is that the schedule is too tight now, various competitions are constant, and the players simply do not have enough time to prepare.
