In football, the winner of the match is the team that scores more goals than its opponent. There are times when, throughout the entire 90 minutes of the game, both teams demonstrate brilliant combination football with a huge number of dangerous scoring chances, but they cannot please the audience with scored goals. Such fights rarely remain in the memory of fans for long.
The most memorable games are those in which a huge number of goals are scored. For example, in 2011, a derby took place in England, in which Manchester City defeated Manchester United with a score of 6:1. In the 2016/17 season, Bayern beat Arsenal 5:1 in the UEFA Champions League. These are big bills, however, compared to those that we will tell you about today, they look ridiculous.
We present to your attention the top 5 most productive matches in football history:
- Adema – Stade Olympique l’Emyrne 149:0 (Madagascar Championship);
- Arboat – Bon Accord 36:0 (Scottish Cup);
- Dundee Harp – Aberdeen Rovers 35:0 (Scottish Championship);
- Australia – Samoa 31:0 (2002 World Cup Qualification);
- Villarreal – Navata 27:0 (Friendly match).
All these fights are official by a large margin. The first game on the list deserves the most attention. Let's talk about it in more detail.
Adema – Stade Olympique l'Emirne: match with a record number of goals scored
Often, big defeats happen in those fights where there is a clear favorite and an outsider, but contrary to this, the biggest score in football happened with the participation of approximately equal opponents. This happened in the second year of the 21st century in the Madagascar championship.
According to the regulations of the Madagascar championship, the 4 strongest teams must fight among themselves for gold medals in a round robin system. Before the final round in one of the matches, the chief referee gave a controversial penalty against the Stade Olympique l'Emirne almost before the final whistle. The opponent scored a penalty kick, thereby depriving SOE of the opportunity to try to compete for the championship.
In the last meeting, the so-called playoffs, where nothing was decided, Adema (champion) and Stade Olympique l'Emirne met. No one could even suspect that this match would go down in the history of world football as the most productive. The SOE coach was dissatisfied with the penalty awarded against his team in the last round, and decided to hold a kind of protest. He gave instructions to the players score into your own goal throughout the entire 90 minutes of the game.
The Adema players and the entire audience who came to the stadium were surprised by what was happening. The Stade Olympique l'Emirne players kicked the balls into their goalkeeper's goal one after another. After the final whistle, the main referee of the match recorded the score 149:0. This is by far the largest score in football, which was later included in the Guinness Book of Records.
The Madagascar Football Federation did not ignore the match and imposed sanctions against the SOE head coach and four of his players. The team's coach, Zaka Be, was banned from coaching for 3 years.
The team's goalkeeper, captain of the Madagascar national team Mamisoa Razafindrakoto, and two other players were banned from playing football until the end of 2002.
This is how the world record in football was set for the number of goals scored in one match.
Highest match score among national teams
At the qualifying stage of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the match between Australia and American Samoa took place. Both teams were of completely different classes: the hosts were the undisputed favorites, and the guests were clear outsiders. As a result, the meeting ended not just with a confident victory for the best team, but with a record defeat in international football.
The Socceroos players played for fun: they scored as much as they wanted and how they wanted, and some of the players became record holders. For example, Archie Thompson scored 13 goals in the match, which is an unattainable result today. Topson's partner David Zdrilic managed to hit the opposing goalkeeper 8 times, and this is the second result in the world in the number of goals scored in one game at the national team level. As a result, Australia beat American Samoa with a score of 31:0.
The sensational score of the match led to FIFA revising the format for qualifying for the World Cup. As a result, a preliminary qualifying cycle was created in the Oceania zone, and Australia, due to the level of the team, was transferred from the OFC to the AFC.
Highest scoring match in the UEFA Champions League (group stage)
After a spectacular victory in the 2005 Champions League final, Liverpool continued to surprise Europe, this time with a crushing victory. In 2007, in the group stage, the Merseysiders defeated the Turkish Besiktas with a score of 8:0. At that time, this was an absolute record, and in the 2015/16 season, Real Madrid repeated it, scoring 8 unanswered goals against Swedish Malmo. These victories became a vivid example of how teams can create sensational results in class.
Football- a game loved by billions of people all over the planet, and it is loved primarily for its entertainment, thirst for fight and intrigue, but seasoned fans also love this game for the results, preferably positive for their favorite team. As the wonderful Soviet coach Valery Vasilyevich Lobanovsky used to say in the past, “a game of football is soon forgotten by everyone, but the result remains forever,” and this phrase fits the topic of this article more than ever. Now we will tell you a little about those cases in world football when the result of a match was more striking than the content of the game; simply put, we will talk about the largest football scores recorded by the International Football Federation FIFA.
Recent official news about another supposedly broken team performance record in one match came to us from distant and hot Nigeria, where teams from the country's lower division (D6) beat each other in two matches 146 goals! The thing is that two candidates for promotion, "Police Machine" And "Plateau United Feeders", had an equal number of points before the last round. In this case, a rule came into force according to which the winner of the tournament is the team with the best difference in goals scored and goals conceded. Thus, after their matches of the last round, “Police Machines” had 67 goals scored, and “Plateau United Feeders” had exactly 79 goals, and not a single one missed! This achievement did not go unnoticed by the local football federation, which removed all four teams from harm's way.
However, we will not dwell on local records, but will talk about those that, to one degree or another, have left their mark on the history of this wonderful and beloved game.
year 2001. Australia - American Samoa - 31:0
The first in our ranking of curious results will be the result of an international qualifying match for the World Cup, by the way, in 2001 with the participation of two teams from Oceania, Australia and American Samoa. The result of that match remains the largest of all officially recorded by FIFA with the participation of national teams, 31:0! Interestingly, the Australians improved their own record of defeating an opponent two days ago, scoring over two dozen goals against the Tongan team, 22:0. In addition, in this match a record was recorded for the performance of one player in an international match, Australian forward Archie Thompson scored goals against the poor Samoans as many as 13 times! The level of the Samoan national team is clearly illustrated by the fact that on the eve of the meeting they lost three “key performers” due to the urgent need for them in school classes. More experienced students were replaced by three guys whose age did not exceed 15 years and who, according to the Samoan coach, had never played football for more than an hour in their lives... By the way, record goalkeeper Niki Salapu, who missed all 31 goals (according to some unofficial according to 32 goals), soon became the star of many local TV shows, later popularity even worked in his favor and he was even invited to try out for various European teams and even played several seasons for the semi-amateur Austrian Mayerbach.
The result of this and the previous game was a reform regarding the change in the qualifying tournament in this region. At the meeting, an opinion was expressed about creating a preliminary stage for weak teams, the proposal was supported by FIFA, and already in 2004 this stage was organized at the Oceania Cup, which also became a qualifying tournament for the 2006 World Cup. And later, Australia was asked to move to the Asian Football Federation in order to improve its level of football, which the kangaroos and eucalyptus successfully agreed to in their homeland.
And here is a photo of the same American Samoan team, which 6 years later won the first victory in history over the Tongan team. Thus, the Samoans left the list of the weakest teams in the world, who did not win a single victory. Until now, the ranking of the weakest FIFA participating teams that have not won official matches is completed by such teams as Andorra, San Marino, Montserrat and Gibraltar.
Below we will give examples of the largest football results, not officially registered by FIFA, but these results took place and the spectators on the football fields witnessed it, and therefore were registered in the Guinness Book of Records, which traditionally records the most incredible records from all over the world.
2002 Adema - Stade Olympique L'Emirne - 149:0
The largest clean sheet in the history of club football was recorded not just anywhere, but in the Madagascar championship itself, or rather, in its decisive final stage, held in the city of Toamasina. The four strongest teams in the country gathered there to determine the national champion in a fair game. However, one event occurred before the end of the round, which became the reason for a new record in the history of football. In one of the games, referee Razafintsalama awarded a controversial penalty against the team from the capital of Madagascar, Antananarivo, Stade Olympique l'Emirne (SOE) in the last minute, thereby blocking their path to defending the championship title they had won a year earlier.
And already in the match of the last round, where the unmotivated and unmotivated SOE and the local AS Adema, who had already become champions, met, a real football tragicomedy broke out. The SOE players, following the instructions of their crazy coach, staged a protest, starting to score goals... into their own goal! Their rivals, standing aside and barely holding back laughter, only watched what was happening.
When the final whistle sounded, spectators and match participants recorded the score 149:0 on the scoreboard. That is, after carrying out simple arithmetic calculations, it turns out that goals were flying one after another every 36 seconds. This score is the largest in the history of football during official matches. The level of the Madagascar championship, of course, is not cosmic, but it is also not a “collective farm”, as a famous player of the Russian national team would say; the status of the tournament is quite official. Last year, SOE qualified for the second round of qualifying for the CAF Champions League (the African equivalent of the Champions League), and that should say something.
Despite such an outstanding score, many fans, even from the winners, were dissatisfied with the game. Angry spectators lined up near the ticket office, demanding the money spent on tickets back, and the country's football leadership was determined to punish the obstinate team, and as a result, SOE coach Zaka Be was excommunicated from football for three years, as well as four team players, including the captain of the Madagascar national team Mamisoa Razafindrakoto.
1970s Indian Championship
A slightly less productive match was recorded in the 70s of the last century in a meeting between two Indian teams. One of them beat its rivals with an astronomical score of 114:0, even for such an exotic place, thereby breaking the record held by another team from the city of Calcutta, which literally destroyed its rivals in the same championship draw with a score of 80:0!
1885 "Erboat" - "Bon Accord" - 36:0
Long before the emergence of the International Football Federation itself, on September 12, 1885, in a Scottish Cup match, an incredible score was recorded even for that time - already professional Erboat FC hosted Bon Accord fans and scored 36 unanswered goals against them! For a long time, football experts considered this result to be the largest in the entire history of football, citing the official nature of this meeting and the lack of information about the collusion of the match participants. To be fair, it is worth noting that the football rules at that time were slightly different, offsides and cards had not yet been invented, and uniform standards for field sizes had not been adopted, and on the goal itself there was still no crossbar, which was replaced by a rope stretched between the bars, yes and the soccer ball at that time bore little resemblance to modern balls. Many of the football shells of the 50s of the 1st century were made of tough skin of wild animals or even leatherette, and in 1862 the first rubber balls began to be produced.
Football is the game of millions of people on the planet. It captivates, fascinates, intrigues, unites and simply brings people together in stadiums, bars, near TV screens and gives the opportunity to forget about everything for 90 minutes. But football is not only a game.
Football is the life of the planet
For some it is a business, for some it is a hobby, but for many, football is life. After all, the essence of it is not only in kicking the ball to twenty-two men throughout the match, it is also an experience and preparation outside the football field. For true football fans, this sport plays one of the main roles in life. After all, many people are loyal to their favorite clubs and accompany the teams everywhere and always. But sometimes football matches do not live up to their expectations, and spectators remain dissatisfied. One can also say about football that, like all other sports, it has its own records and anti-records, its own advantages and disadvantages. In this article you can read about what the biggest scores in football are. After all, those 90 minutes that take place on the football field sometimes have very diverse nuances that can affect the outcome of the match. The winners and losers can be known in advance, who will win and with what score, at what minutes the goals will be scored and much more. You can often see when the clear favorite of a match loses a match to an outsider.
You can also observe huge accounts and gaps in the account. This is what we will talk about.
The biggest score in the history of world football
Nowadays, seeing a huge score on the scoreboard at the end of a football match is not uncommon. But after you find out the biggest score in the history of football, you understand that these scores are not that big. The highest number of goals scored was recorded in 2002.
Then 149 unanswered goals were scored in the match. As stated earlier, events on the football field may not reflect the full strength of the teams and their full preparedness. After all, before the start of the fight, many events can occur that influence the outcome of the event. This is what happened in the match of the last round of the Madagascar championship. Then the wards of one head coach entered the match with the intention of constantly scoring goals into their own net, thereby demonstrating a protest towards the championship of Madagascar. It was with a score of 149:0 that the SOE players lost to the Adema team and thereby went down in history, beating all the biggest scores in football.
Confederation Cup. Goal record
The well-known Spanish national football team loves to surprise spectators with its amazing play. Short passes, superb passes and excellent individual skill make this team the best in Europe. It was this team that wrote itself down in history by making the biggest score in football in this Cup. In 2013, in a match against the Tahiti national team, coached by Eddie Etaeta, the Spanish national team players were able to score 10 goals against their opponents. It's rare for the Spaniards to score double-digit goals, but they did it that time, and it was enough to break the record for the most goals scored in a single match at the Confederation Cup.
Largest score of a national football match
The Australian national team also fell into the category of “biggest football scores”. In 2001, during the qualifying stage of the FIFA World Cup, the Australian team met with the American Samoa team. Australia's opponents were footballers whose names are unknown to anyone in Europe. Before the start of the meeting, Australia had an advantage, because the players of this team had more experience playing football, had more game practice and a good understanding of their players on the football field.
As the match progressed, their advantage on the scoreboard began to show very quickly. After the score was 6:0, it became clear that American Samoa had no chance. But the results on the scoreboard after the final whistle were more surprising than expected. The score is 31:0 - the largest score in national team football.
Biggest score in Champions League history
In 2007, a small football miracle happened in the Liverpool - Besiktas match. A new record was set. In that match, the home team, Liverpool players, scored 7 goals against the Turkish team. With this achievement they put themselves on the page of modern football records. After all, at that time such a score was the largest during the existence of the Champions League. This League is the highest in European football, the strongest clubs in Europe play in it. Therefore, such a big score after the final whistle is rare for teams of this level.
Football of Russia. The largest score of the championship and the national team
Russian football stands out noticeably from all championships. Many spectators, football fans, and journalists criticize the Russian national football team. Although this team contains players from top European teams. It can be noted that the Russian national football team appears from time to time at European and world championships, but its results in these competitions cannot cause joy. Time after time, the national team players have failed games. Thus, the Russian national football team has the biggest defeat on its list of “achievements.” This happened in 2004, when the Portuguese national team beat the Russians with a score of 7:1. That match left an unpleasant aftertaste, even the coach of the Russian national team left the bench early, he was so dissatisfied with the performance of his players. Before that match, the biggest scores in football for the Russian national team had never been more than 7:1. So Portugal became a special rival for Russia, because they left a black mark on the history of Russian football.
The largest score in football in Russia was recorded on August 6, 1992 in the Asmaral - Zenit match. That football match ended with a score of 8:3 and included 11 goals per match - this is a very large figure. It’s rare when you see a big score on the scoreboard in the Russian Championship. This is due to the fact that several teams have been founded in the Russian championship, which for many years, throughout all rounds, have been fighting for the championship and for the relegation zone. So every match turns out to be neat, the teams do not allow their opponents to score many goals.
As a result, we can say that football has a great history. You can talk about her forever and it’s interesting to watch her. Of course, “one-wicket” games do not add beauty to football, but they leave a good mark on its history, rewriting the pages of records and anti-records in world football.
Football is a pretty exciting game that can give you a lot of emotions. After all, the biggest score in football cannot leave anyone indifferent. Throughout the history of football, there have been situations where the match took place without goals at all or, on the contrary, was very replete with them. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the five matches that had the most devastating score in football.
Score 149:0
The match at the Madagascar Championship, in which Adema and L’Emirne played, ended with this score. This is the most productive match in the history of football, which took place completely beyond sporting standards in 2002. And all because one round before the end of the game, the almost victorious L’Emirne team was awarded a penalty. The team coach decided to protest and instructed the team members to score many goals, but not into the opposite goal, but into their own.
The players went wild, and when the referee's whistle blew, the scoreboard showed 149:0, that is, L'Emirne players scored an own goal every 36 seconds. This is truly the largest score in football, which allowed the Adema team players, who were simply watching what was happening from the sidelines, to rejoice at this achievement and victory in the Championship. But the fans didn’t like this outcome at all, they were simply outraged. Many of them went to the ticket office to get their money back for the tickets. The country's football leadership even decided to punish the obstinate team, which could have gotten a victory, but instead simply turned away from it.
Score 36:0
If we consider the previous record for goals to be completely unsportsmanlike, then the largest score in football history was 36:0. This also happened in 2002, when a game took place between the Arboat and Bon Accord teams. The Scottish Cup was played, where the first team beat the second, scoring thirty-six unanswered goals. The record on this day was also set by Arboat team forward Jocky Petri, who managed to drive the ball into the opponent’s goal thirteen times.
Score 35:0
The surprise was the match in 1885 - the Dundee Harp and Aberdeen Rovers teams met at the Scottish Championship. The players of the first team, which was the home team, managed to score unanswered goals against their opponents thirty-five times. However, some historians believe that the number of goals was less - 32. But due to the fact that there are no documents confirming the correct number of goals, the score was officially recognized as 35:0.
Score 31:0
And in 2002 The Australian team defeated the American Samoa with a score of 31:0. At the same time, the Australian football players did not work too hard. The record holder in this game is Archie Thompson, who upset the Samoan goalkeeper thirteen times. An interesting fact is that at the end of the game the score was 32:0. But then, when counting the goals scored, an error was found - it turned out that the staff updating the score simply assigned one point to the Australians.
Score 27:0
The biggest victory for the Spanish team Villarreal was the match against Navata in 2009. The Yellow Submarine players simply crushed their opponents to smithereens, scoring twenty-seven unanswered goals against them. J. Pereira scored seven times in this game, and Escudero won an excellent hat-trick in the match.
This is how truly interesting matches were played, which simply took the fans’ breath away. Agree that nowadays you don’t see such a score in football very often. But many fans and football connoisseurs really want to see such priceless moments!
The group stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is in full swing, full of surprises and unpredictable games with unexpected outcomes. Who would have imagined that the reigning world champion would lose with a score of 1:5, or that the Portuguese national team would lose four unanswered goals to anyone?! Nevertheless, at the 2014 World Cup we are witnessing similar oddities. “Bookmakers Rating”, plunging into the history of the World Cup, has selected for you the ten biggest defeats at the World Cup.
1. Hungary - South Korea - 9:0 (1954 World Cup, Switzerland)
In 1954, the FIFA World Cup was held in Switzerland. The Hungarian team then went to the tournament as the main favorite and contender for gold. The reason for this was the victory at the Olympic Games two years earlier, as well as a series of 27 victories in matches held before the World Cup. Then the Hungarians ended up in the same group with Germany, Turkey and South Korea. Already in the first round, the Koreans had to play with the favorite – Hungary. Thanks to the efforts of Puskás, Palotas, Kocsis, Lantos and Cibor, nine unanswered goals were sent into the goal of the Korean team. At that time, it was the largest victory in the history of the World Cup.

The Hungarian team did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup, but the Koreans at this World Cup were in the same group with Russia, Belgium and Algeria and had already managed to draw with Fabio Capello's team. On June 22, the Asian team will play against the Algerian team, and on the 27th they will play a match with the Belgians.

2. Yugoslavia - Zaire - 9:0 (1974 World Cup, Germany)
20 years later, after the match between Hungary and South Korea, the Yugoslav national team defeated the Zaire national team with the same score. Then Bajevic (hat-trick), Dzhajic, Shuryak, Katalinski, Bogicevic, Oblak and Petkovic scored. Then the Yugoslavs were ahead of the Brazilian national team in the group, thanks to the goal difference. The meeting took place at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion stadium.

At the 2014 World Championships, these teams failed to make it past the qualifying round stage.
3. Hungary - El Salvador - 10:1 (1982 World Cup, Spain)
In 1982, at the FIFA World Cup in Spain, the Hungarian team improved its own result (Hungary - South Korea 9:0), sending ten goals into the gates of El Salvador: Nyilasi - double, Peleskei, Fazekas - double, Tot, Kiss - hat- trick, Sentesh. The Hungarians missed only one. By the way, the defeat of the El Salvador national team had a bad effect on the Hungarians - the team relaxed and failed to overcome the group stage, losing to Argentina and ending amicably with the Belgians. Then the Hungarian team took third place in the group and returned home empty-handed.

Neither the national team of El Salvador nor the Hungarians who shone in the past are competing at the current World Cup.
4. Uruguay - Bolivia - 8:0 (1950 World Cup, Brazil)
After World War II, the first FIFA World Cup was held in 1950 in Brazilian stadiums. Then the national team of Uruguay shone, recording a victory at the World Cup with the largest score – 8:0. The Uruguayans then “made fun” of the Bolivian national team, and subsequently won the tournament, repeating the success of 1930. Then Miguez (hat-trick), Vidal, Schiaffino (double), Perez and Gija scored in the Uruguay national team.

At the 2014 World Cup, the Uruguay team competes in the same group with England, Italy and Costa Rica. In the first round of Group D, the Uruguayans sensationally lost to Costa Rica with a score of 1:3. The team of Oscar Tabares will play their next match on June 19, where they will face off against the England team in the group round.

5. Sweden - Cuba - 8:0 (1938 World Cup, France)
The last World Cup before the start of World War II took place in France. Then the record holder for the number of goals scored in one match (1938 World Cup) was the Swedish team, which sent 8 unanswered goals against the Cuban team. The Swedes won the victory with goals from Andersson (hat-trick), Wetterström (hat-trick), Keller and Nyberg. The meeting took place as part of the quarterfinals of the tournament. That World Cup was conquered by the Italians, who beat the then skilled Hungarians with a score of 4:2 in the final.

The Swedes and Cubans did not make it to the final tournament of the 2014 World Cup.
6. Germany - Saudi Arabia - 8:0 (2002 World Cup, South Korea / Japan)
Another big score at the World Cup of the new millennium. This is the first time the World Cup is being held in Asia. Host countries are South Korea and Japan.
In the first round of the group stage of the 2002 World Cup, the German team defeated Saudi Arabia with a score of 8:0. The heroes of that match were Klose (hat-trick), Ballack, Janker, Linke, Bierhoff and Schneider. Already in the first half, the Germans forced the Arabs to start from the center of the field four times, and scored the same number of goals in the second half of the match.

That year, the Bundesteam reached the final of the World Cup, but failed to overcome the Brazilian barrier. The final match of the 2002 World Cup ended in victory for the Brazilian team with a score of 2:0, and the legendary Ronaldo scored a double, hitting the German goal in the 67th and 79th minutes. Germany became the silver medalist, and the Turks took third place.
At the current World Cup in Brazil, the German team looks no worse. In the opening round, Joachim Löw's team beat Portugal with a score of 4:0, with Ronaldo in the starting lineup. Thomas Müller scored a hat-trick. The Germans will play their next match in Group G against the Ghana national team. The meeting will take place on June 21 at the Castelao stadium.

7. Uruguay - Scotland - 7:0(World Cup-1954, Switzerland)
The 1954 World Cup was rich in victories and defeats with a large score. We already wrote above about the match between Hungary and South Korea, which took place as part of the World Cup in Switzerland and ended with a score of 9:0 not in favor of the Asian team. What makes the World Cup in Switzerland memorable is that the fans almost never got bored - the teams scored at least five or six goals in almost every meeting.
At the group stage, the Uruguayans defeated the Scots with a score of 7:0 and entered the playoffs from first place in the group, while their opponents scored 0 points. Only two goals were scored in the first half, the rest in the second.

8. Türkiye - South Korea - 7:0 (World Cup-1954, Switzerland)
And again 1954, and again a big score. The same South Koreans, who lost to the Hungarians at the same tournament with a score of 9:0, came under attack. The Turkish team once again beat the Asian team – 7:0. From the Turkish squad, Mamat (double), Küçükandoniadis, Burhan (hat-trick) and Erol distinguished themselves. The Turks then also suffered - in the additional matches of the World Cup in Switzerland, the Koreans' offenders conceded the same number of goals from Germany, scoring only two goals in response.

The Turkish team did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup, but the Korean team at the World Cup in Brazil ended up in the same group with Russia, Belgium and Algeria, and already managed to play a draw with the Russians. On June 22, the South Korean national team will play against the Algerian team, and on the 27th they will play a match with the Belgians.
Bet365 odds for Belgium's victory over South Korea with handicap (-2.5, 3.0) – 7.20 .
9. Poland - Haiti - 7:0 (1974 World Cup, Germany)
The 1974 FIFA World Cup, held in Germany, turned out to be successful for the Polish national team. That year the Poles won bronze at the World Cup. The stubborn squad of Poles managed to defeat the national teams of Argentina and Italy in difficult matches, and then tore the national team of Haiti to smithereens - 7:0. The goalscorers in that match were Lato (double), Deyna, Sharmakh (hat-trick) and Gorgon. Then the host of the tournament, Germany, stopped the Polish team. At the 1974 World Cup, the top scorer, by the way, was the Polish national team player Grzegorz Lato, who chalked up seven goals.

Neither Poland nor Haiti will compete at the final tournament in Brazil.
10. Portugal - DPRK - 7:0 (2010 World Cup, South Africa)
2010 For the first time, the final tournament of the World Cup is being held on the African continent. In the new millennium, football fans have already lost the habit of large scores at the World Cup, which were so characteristic of the World Cup matches of the last century. However, there were also exceptions - Portugal sent seven unanswered goals against the DPRK in South Africa. The heroes of that match for the Portuguese were Meireles, Sabrosa, Almeida, Mendes (double), Muniz and Ronaldo. Moreover, six of the seven goals were scored in the second half. That year, the Spaniards became world champions for the first time, and Portugal limited itself to reaching the 1/8 finals, losing to the Spanish national team with a minimal score.
//www.youtube.com/embed/0hgnyMknFtY
The DPRK team did not qualify for the 2014 World Cup, but the Portuguese have already become accomplices of a sensation, losing to the German team in the group stage with a score of 0:4. The next match of the Portuguese will take place on June 23 against the US team. In Group G, the Portuguese are adjacent to the Americans, Germans and the Ghanaian team.
Bet365 odds for Portugal's victory over the USA with a handicap (-2.5) – 6.60 .
