Whats the biggest defeat ever in WC history?

Hungary - El Salvador 10-1 1982

Yugoslavia - Zaire 9-0 1974

Germany - Saudi Arabia 8-0 2002

Hungary - South Korea 9-0 1954

Sweden - Cuba 8-0 1938

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

especially hungary was a beast back in the days. their golden era in the 1950s was almost unbeatable.

Would be great if Argentina gets similarly crushed tomorrow, but even greater would be Argentina lifting the Cup in the lion's den.

I'm still rooting for the Netherlands. :) I like the orange colour of their shirts :p

It would be fun if the Germans somehow lost in the finals after this match.

 

I think Germany-Algeria was the most entertaining match to watch (it really felt like the Algerians were fighting tooth and nail to win), although I must say I missed most of the games before the elimination rounds.

 

EDIT: Just saw this guy on the web.

Klose got his record by scoring a million times against Saudi Arabia. Kind of lame. I don't think Brazil ever played against such crap countries on a WC.

 

2010: North Korea

2006: Australia, Japan

2002: China, Costa Rica

1998: Entire group made of Norway, Morocco, Scotland

1990: Costa Rica (again), Scotland (again)

1986: Northern Ireland

1982: Scotland (again), New Zealand

 

Brazil only barely deserved to be in the semis in the first place, and are justifiably out. I'm more impressed by how good the Germans were, though - on most other days you would dominate a game like that but only be 1 or 2 goals up. They were able to kill the game in 6 minutes. I called them to win the Cup before the tournament and it looks like they'll now have a good bout of confidence for it.

New Zealand and China certainly are, and on the whole there's no taking away from Klose's remarkable record, even if I never rated him too much for the fact that he was rarely that lethal for club football.

What's funny is that Brazil won by a mere 2-1 vs North Korea, who then went on to lose 7-0 against Portugal.

 

NZ and China didn't perform that badly at WC either.

Finally got around to watching the match.

 

Avoided all social media and tv/radio all day.

Apparently hundreds of Brazilians were waiting for the German players when they arrived at the hotel. To applaud and sing for them, in recognition of their awesome display.

 

Very sporting from the Brazilians, my hat off to them.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
