The most terrifying ratio
Exactly 10 years ago, the record for a strong score in a World Cup match was set at Coffs Harbor, where the Australian team won the American Samoa squad by 31-0 in the 2002 World Cup qualifiers. The match that took place in April 2001 was also a match with a record score in international football history.With 13 goals for the Australian team, player Archie Thompson hit the previous international match record (10 goals), as well as the scoring record in a match related to the World Cup (7 table).
How many goals are in 5 minutes?
If dividing the game into 18 sections, 5 minutes each, Thompson's record turned out to be nothing compared to the performance of W. G. Richardson. Exactly 70 years earlier, which means exactly 80 years ago (November 1931), Richardson scored a four-goal circuit in just 5 minutes (from 6 to 10) for West Brom against West Ham. That is the record for scoring 4 goals in the fastest time in the English league. West Brom won 5-1.Scored 4 goals but drew only 2-2
Northern Ireland international Chris Nicholl also scored 4 goals in Leicester - Aston Villa 35 years ago (March 1976). Especially midfielder Nicholl twice burned his own net, "helped" Leicester to lead, and also scored twice to help Villa balance the score.Nicholl's "self-imposed" goals were all headed with his head, and his equalizers were all scored with his feet. One wonders: how many real strikers have the ability to score as comprehensive as defender Nicholl?
The referee forgot the law!
Five years before the rare 2-2 draw, European football also had a draw, but it was a big problem. That pair of Rangers - Sporting Lisbon in the European Cup of C2. Rangers won the first leg 3-2 at home. In the second leg, they lost 2-3 at Sporting field in November 1971. Of course, I must continue fighting. Draw again. Each team scored 1 more goal in 2 extra periods.
Dutch referee Van Ravens asked both sides to enter the penalty shootout 11m. Sporting won 3-0 in a series of "shootings", meaning that the Rangers players did not shoot any ball. But of course, the next team is... Rangers. According to the law, they have won since 120 minutes of the second leg ended with a score of 4-3.
The referee does not understand the rules of scoring on the opponent's field? Unbelievably, he must be so tense that he forgot that law. But UEFA cannot forget. That season, Rangers won the Cup of C2. It is the only team in top football history to not shoot a penalty but still win it!
"Hat-trick brace" is not recognized
Rangers failed to score during a 11m penalty shootout. But player Dennis Law does not need to shoot 11m to still score 6 goals for Manchester City in a peak match exactly 50 years ago. It was a match in the fourth round of the FA Cup, in January 1961.
Manchester City lead 6-2. Unfortunately, Law's great performance was not recognized for a completely objective reason: the match was canceled in the 69th minute due to poor weather conditions.
Only 1 team still kicks
15 years ago, a "weird" match took place in Tallinn (Estonia), in the 1998 World Cup qualifiers. It was the match of Estonia - Scotland, where the referee had to whistle to end in the first minute. It was scheduled to start at 6:45 am on October 9, 1996. But in the morning, FIFA's supervisors concluded by checking the field that the lights were not bright enough, asking for the match to start at 3pm.Scotland frantically announced to the audience to follow the team to cheer, while the homeowner Estonia used the excuse that not in time to notify the parties involved. The main reason lies in the TV contract they signed.
So far, Scotland with the full squad is present on the field. Yugoslav referee Miroslav Radoman opened the opening whistle. Billy Dodds serves. The referee immediately ended the whistle and Tosh McKinlay waved his hand high to celebrate the victory! Scotland was awarded a 3-0 win!
Penalty a player up to 3 yellow cards
Five years ago, famous English referee Graham Poll ruined his famous career with a rare match, at the 2006 World Cup, Australia - Croatia.
Poll "forgot" to dismiss the Croatian Josip Simunic player after being shown a yellow card for the second time. It was not until Simunic's three yellow cards were received that Simunic was sent off.
Score 10 goals on the first try
75 years ago, there was an amazing scoring record that appeared in the English Third Division, against Luton - Bristol Rovers in April 1936.Before the ball kicked off, Luton's coach Ned Liddell was on fire when both of his forwards were both injured and unable to play. He then placed midfielder Joe Payne into the center position reluctantly.
Payne also scored 1 goal in the middle of the first half, but there was no indication that either team could win. Then, Payne suddenly exploded in the second half.
In total, he scored 10 goals, helping Luton win 12-0. This is the highest scoring achievement of a player in the history of professional or semi-professional football tournaments in England. Surely this is a difficult record to be broken.
One-of-a-kind retaliation
Now, everyone knows the controversial event in the 1966 World Cup final: whether the ball had entered or not when the English player Geoff Hurst hit the German crossbar, the ball fell to the grass at the goal line.Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst was not clear, so he consulted the Soviet border referee (to be exact, Azerbaijan) Tofik Bakhramov.
This man asked to enter (now, science and technology help people see clearly that the fruit has not yet entered). In the end, England beat Germany 4-2.
