FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by jamp(op): 1:00pm On Jun 07
The world is just 4 days away. There are records yet to be broken since the inception of the tournament in 1930. Could this records be broken this year.

Here are some records.

1. No foreign coach has ever won the men’s FIFA World Cup with a national team of a different nationality.

Every one of the 21+ World Cup-winning managers (across 22 tournaments) has been a native of the country they led to victory. This holds true from the first edition in 1930 (Uruguay’s Alberto Suppici) through Argentina’s Lionel Scaloni in 2022.

2. Most goals in a single tournament: Just Fontaine (France) with 13 goals in 6 matches (1958). Modern Golden Boot winners typically score 5–8 goals; no one has come close in decades.

3. Youngest goalscorer: Pelé (Brazil) at 17 years, 239 days (vs. Wales, 1958). Extremely unlikely due to player development and squad selection norms.

4. Oldest player to appear: Essam El-Hadary (Egypt) at 45 years, 161 days (2018). Goalkeepers can push this, but it’s a high bar.

5. Oldest goalscorer: Roger Milla (Cameroon) at 42 years, 39 days (1994). Still stands strong.

6. Biggest margin of victory: Hungary 10–1 El Salvador (1982). Double-digit scores are rare in the modern era with better defenses and professionalism.

Ronaldo will become the oldest to score a goal in the world cup in 2030.

If Max Dowman of Arsenal represents his country, he will be the youngest to score In the world cup, same way he was the youngest player to lose a UCL final grin

Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by judewrites: 4:56pm On Jun 07
For the number I record, that means england won't win the world cup this year because they have a foreign German coach.

It's a pity....I have always supported england in international tournaments.

What about Brazil? I had a feeling they might win this world cup, but can they with a foreigner coach?
Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by fasho01(m): 4:57pm On Jun 07
Very unlikely any of these will be broken in this mundial

Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by Sunshine34(m):
I believe all can be broken but that last one, number (6) cannot be broken. No nation can beat his opponent 10-1 again in any Fifa world cup.

France vs Iraq

Africa ably represented by Roger Milla which might even be older than the age recorded as per agr cheating in African football.
Still, that one go hard to break same as 6 in one game.
13 in a tournament will soon be broken with more number of matches and lesser opposition. Some players go likely push 10 goals this year
Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by Fekumzi123: 5:25pm On Jun 07
At least one will get broken and another will be set.
Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by Tenses: 5:26pm On Jun 07
