Germany’s new 7-1, this time over Curaçao, this Sunday, once again hit Brazil. With the new victory, the German team became the highest scorer in the history of the World Cup, even with fewer participations than the Brazilian team.
The five-time Brazilian champions, who participated in all editions of the tournament organized by FIFA, led the list with 238 goals in 115 matches. Now, the four-time German champions, who only did not play in 1930 and 1950, now number 239.
Far away, in third place, is three-time champion Argentina, with 152 (18 editions and 88 games).
INDIVIDUAL
Germany also has a historic mark in the individual. Striker Miroslav Klose scored 16 goals, one more than striker Ronaldo. In third is German Gerg Muller, with 14.
But there are two players who can trouble this trio. Argentine Lionel Messi and French Kylian Mbappé.
Messi, who is playing his last World Cup, has scored 13 goals in history. Mbappé adds 12.
Among the Brazilians, the one who is closest to the two is striker Neymar (8 goals), who is still recovering from an injury and is a doubt against Haiti, on Friday (19).
