@ BWINO.COM ON WORLD CUP 2014 RECORDS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Which of the records below will be the most difficult for Brazil to regain. .............................................................................................................. -Miroslav Klose broke the record for the most goals scored at the finals with 16, overtaking Brazils Ronaldo total of 15. -It was the first time five goals were scored in a 29-minute period of play at a FIFA World Cup. -It was the fastest four goals scored in World Cup history as Germany scored four in the span of six minutes (from 23 to 29). -It was Brazils worst ever home defeat,as well as the worst defeat ever for a host nation in the World Cup. -Brazil had never before allowed seven goals playing at home although they once conceded eight goals in a 4–8 friendly defeat to Yugoslavia on 3 June 1934. -It tied Brazils worst ever defeat, a 0–6 loss to Uruguay in 1920. Germany became the all-time goal scoring leader by national team at the World Cup finals, reaching a total of 223 at the end of the game and passing Brazils total of 221. -Germany tied the record for most goals scored against the host nation of the World Cup, with Austria defeating Switzerland 7–5 in 1954; the next highest was Brazil, who won 5–2 against hosts Sweden in 1958. -The defeat broke Brazils 62-match home unbeaten streak in competitive matches dating back to its 1–3 loss to Peru in the 1975 Copa América. -It was the worst World Cup semi-final defeat suffered by any national team. -It was the first time since 1938 that Brazil have lost a World Cup semi-final, as they had progressed in their previous six. -It was the first time that Brazil had conceded five or more World Cup goals since 1938. -It was Germanys highest half-time lead in a World Cup match, with their previous best being 4–0 against Saudi Arabia in 2002 (their greatest win, 8–0), as only two teams have previously trailed by five goals at half-time: Zaire (vs. Yugoslavia in 1974) and Haiti (vs. Poland in 1974). No other team has ever scored seven goals in the semi-finals of the World Cup. -Thomas Müller scored Germanys 2,000th goal in the history of their national team. -Müller became the third player in history to score five or more goals in two different World Cups (after Cubillas and Klose). -Toni Kroos first-half double was the fastest pair of goals scored in World Cup history, as he scored twice in just 69 seconds.
