🙄 Germany tops Brazil's record with another 7-1 at World Cups

🙄 Germany tops Brazil's record with another 7-1 at World Cups The Brazil national team arrived at the FIFA World Cup holding 26 records . But one of them is no longer Brazil’s. By scoring seven goals against Curaçao this Sunday (14) , Germany now has 239 goals in World Cup history, surpassing Brazil’s 238 as the previous record holder. Rounding out the top three is Argentina, with 152.  The four-time world champion already had the best goals-per-game average, as it has played in the tournament “only” 21 times. Brazil, meanwhile, has played in all 23 editions. Germany chose not to play in the first edition, in 1930, following the same approach as several other European national teams.  And what was then West Germany was not authorized by FIFA to take part in the qualifiers for the 1950 World Cup. The sanction imposed by the governing body — a consequence of World War II — only ended after the tournament played in Brazil.  After two World Cups ending in the group stage (2018 and 2022), Germany showed strength and is on course for a possible new record. The edition in which it scored the most was 1954, when it won the title in Switzerland and found the net 25 times.  It even lost 8-3 to Puskás and Kocsis’ Hungary in the group stage, but got revenge in the final by winning 3-2. It has scored 10 or more goals in 13 different World Cups. The same mark Brazil boasts.  Germany has ANOTHER record 🔥 The 7-1 over Curaçao also secured another milestone for Germany. There had been three World Cup matches in which it scored seven or more goals — the same number as Hungary. And now there are four. Besides the 7-1 over Brazil, the Germans also have the 8-0 over Saudi Arabia in 2002 and a 7-2 against Turkey in the already mentioned 1954 World Cup. 📸 GABRIEL BOUYS This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
