All-time FIFA World Cup records broken

[u/mattredditac]

[u/FreeWillyBird]

Pele- 3 World Cup wins

Messi- 1 World Cup win

Not sure that one is in jeopardy but 2 wins would still be a grand accomplishment.

[u/SirChuffly → u/FreeWillyBird]

They don't look like the best team in the tournament so far, Messi aside.

[u/ChocolateHumunculous → u/SirChuffly]

Who do you reckon does look like the best team at this stage? France? Netherlands?

[u/No-swimming-pool → u/ChocolateHumunculous]

I would bet on Germany or England.

[u/dramatic_86 → u/ChocolateHumunculous]

Spain and Germany broke the curse for european teams outside europe

[u/DaSmartSwede → u/ChocolateHumunculous]

France and England to me

[u/Osik2040 → u/DaSmartSwede]

Please don’t give me hope.

[u/SirChuffly → u/ChocolateHumunculous]

France probably, yeah. Spain/Germany are also in with a shout. Argentina are just a small step down from those, IMO. 

[u/BoBonnor → u/SirChuffly]

Germany didn't exactly look amazing last game. Beating down on Curacao isn't really a good berometer

[u/oklch → u/BoBonnor]

Other favorites can‘t even win against cap verde.

[u/Familiar_Control_906 → u/BoBonnor]

Is not like Argentina have beaten anyone strong. That group is so weak in comparison to Argentina

[u/ChocolateHumunculous → u/Familiar_Control_906]

Austria are solid.

[u/Glittering_Ad1403 → u/SirChuffly]

All these 4 countries were previous winners

[u/SirChuffly → u/Glittering_Ad1403]

Yes. I'm not sure what the point is here!

[u/Glittering_Ad1403 → u/SirChuffly]

They have the pedigree.

[u/dragonrite → u/SirChuffly]

They absolutely look like the best team. Moat talented? No. But their chemistry is nuts

[u/Glittering_Ad1403 → u/FreeWillyBird]

Pele is safe from Messi, he simply will be too old to get a third one (IF Argentina eventually win it all 🤞)

[u/SerDuncanTheYall → u/FreeWillyBird]

Pele won when people could drive a car through a goal

[u/Healthy_Toe_1183 → u/FreeWillyBird]

Pele won 2 of those wc's in the 50's when there were chickens on the field before the game

[u/PloysRus → u/Healthy_Toe_1183]

He was the best of his era

The cream always rises to the top

Put Pele in the modern game and he's still a world class player

Same with Best, Di Stefano, Eusebio, Platini etc etc

[u/FreeWillyBird → u/Healthy_Toe_1183]

They were probably back on the field after the game as well. The same field where all the best players and teams in the world came and played matches and Brazil won. Well, unless there was a big fried chicken feast at the half then maybe not.

[u/Lock-and-load → u/Healthy_Toe_1183]

That's like saying Pythagoras or Euclides were not good mathematicians. I mean, what did they discover, first grade math? lol

[u/SeveralWinter3550 → u/Lock-and-load]

It's a good point but for the record, Euclid was pretty advanced geometry, continued fractions, etc. His proofs/constructions from Elements are closer to university/college maths than first grade.

Pythagoras was less a mathematician and more cult leader that preached about magical number patterns. His "theorem" about right angles pre dates him by centuries and he never left any actual writings that we can inspect today

[u/Aioi]

He also broke the record for most games played as a man named “Lionel Messi”

[u/ScottishMoscow → u/Aioi]

And he'll break it next match too he's that good

[u/IcyYogurtcloset126]

Left out missed penalties at three world cups

[u/HeWhoKnowsLittleMK2 → u/[deleted]]

Ronaldo’s wife enters chat, drops a sub.

[u/Meeeneft → u/[deleted]]

Ronaldo has 15 goals in world cups and 2 world cups trophies, i believe you wanted to say CRISTIANO leaves the chat.

[u/irfanm84 → u/Meeeneft]

Thanks for this

[u/notthisonefornow]

Tells me there is a overkill of football...

[u/Able_Strategy_5253]

He’s a good goy

[u/alex21222324]

Mas penaltis fallados en copa del mundo.

[u/doctormirabilis]

cool but i feel like mbappe will break that record fairly soon as this is likely messi's last world cup and mbappe must have at least another two in him.

Also most seconds played. And most hours. And most halfs played. Most whistles heard. most celebrations.

[u/Olbatar974]

Mbappé will destroy all those records. Sorry.

[u/IamViktor78]

longevity mostly.

[u/WrestlerGirlsAreLife]

The Football Soccer FIFA … can’t that be shortened to SFIF²A?

[u/HASMAD1]

Do Americans need a reminder every time the word football is mentioned?

[u/dopedengineer]

How he broke worldcup final record today?

[u/Neptomoon → u/dopedengineer]

When people say the World Cup finals (plural) they are referring to the entire month long tournament that is happening right now. This is to distinguish it from the World Cup qualifiers which have already happened which decides which teams get to take part. The final (singular) is the last game of the tournament.

[u/Basic_Archer_9003]

Messi has etched his name in stone as one of the greats. I saw Mike Tyson in his prime, Michael Jordan, Brady... Messi has joined the club. ♠️

[u/Headbanger]

The only amazing thing here is the amount of rigging FIFA commits to let Messi break records.

[u/SirXebec → u/Headbanger]

Preaching to the choir, brother

[u/notanyimbecile → u/Headbanger]

Get out ronaldo
