A few hours ago Portugal trounced North Korea 7 - 0. I was wrong to expect a repeat of the 1966 classic when the Koreans led the Portuguese 3-0 before succumbing to a Eusebio led fightback to lose 5 - 3. Anyway, that seven goal hammering by Ronaldo and company is not good enough to top the records. The World Cup biggest loser is El Salvador who were trashed 10 - 1 by Hungary in Espana 1982. The rest of the biggest losers are;
Zaire 0 - 9 Yugoslavia (1974)
South Korea 0 - 9 Hungary (1954)
South Korea 0 - 9 Hungary (1954)
Saudi Arabia 0 - 8 Germany (2002)
Cuba 0 - 8 Sweden (1938)
Cuba 0 - 8 Sweden (1938)
South Korea 0 - 7 Turkey (1954)
Scotland 0 - 7 Uruguay (1954)
Haiti 0 - 7 Poland (1974)
Scotland 0 - 7 Uruguay (1954)
Haiti 0 - 7 Poland (1974)
Let's hope for more goals in the coming games ... starting with Spain's game against Honduras :)
