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.

That first record is very interesting
I didn't know before o
That's very very interesting

It's just that all these records may be broken in the next 8 years

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
records are only achievements, not failures

No keeper in world this world cup that won't concide goal
well none yet
But Italy almost did it in 2006
Only two goals conceeded, one penalty, the other is own goal

Though you sounds right of course
But it's better you use the word no keep that haven't conceeded at least a goal
Instead of won't conceeded
English have it's consequences and right usage

I wanted Ronaldo to be the oldest to score but I realised that if he scores this world cup, he still wouldn't be the oldest, that's why I gave it to him in 2030 world cup. I hope you get me right.
ok but it the arsenal thing I was talking about
Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by OfficialTM147(m): 10:30pm On Jun 07
No. 5 will be broken this world cup. Too many old players are heading to the tournament. Ronaldo and co

Re: FIFA World Cup Records Yet To Be Broken by tunsdel: 7:01am On Jun 08
There is possibility of the first timer teams to conceive double digit goals

Sunshine34:
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.

You don't understand what they are talking about.They are not talking about the date.
So, leave it like that.

Samueltemi337:
Watch out for

Curacao vs Germany
Brazil vs Haiti
Portugal vs Uzbekistan
Spain vs Capo Verde
France vs Iraq
Remove Spain vs Cape Verde from your list.
Mark my word, this current Spain can't give Cape Verde 5:0 or 5:1 ,not to talk of 10:1.
It's like you don't really watch this cape Verde team very well.They are not a push over as you think..oo.

The only one I may agree with you a little is Germany vs Curacao bcuz the German Machines are known high scoring side I have watched them scored Saudi Arabia 8:0 in 2002 World Cup before.So they can likely break the double digits scoreline.

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?
Records are meant to be broken.

Hopefully, they will be broken when Brazil or England win this year's world cup.
