Portugal scored seven goals in a 7-0 victory over north Korea in the 2010 FIFA world cup. Most goals in FIFA World Cup history was in qualification when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 in the Oceania Finals.

The Super bowl is one of the biggest sporting events on the calendar and the economic impact on the host city is huge. Think of all the people not only buying tickets to the game, but flying into town, spending money at local hotels, restaurants, malls, etc. And it is a week-long party, not just a gameday event. In short, hosting the super bowl provides a big spike to the local economy and showcases the host city on the national stage.

Brazil is the only national team to have played in every world cup.

Brazil played in every world cup.

Four years is a common period between tournaments in major sports (e.g. the Olympics, FIFA (World Cup).

- but Rugby World Cup is nothing to do with Soccer.

It is a Mexican and a Peruvian with five world cups.

That, my dear reader, is quite simple. It all begins with the person who we all call ''the Father of our land, William of Orange''. He was originally a German noble who got the job of taking care of the Lower Lands (the Netherlands) and was prince (not like King and Prince, but something like the boss there) of Orange, a city in France. Because of that he was known as William of Orange. Many years later when Holland became a Kingdom instead of a Republic the decendents (if I write it in a good way) of William, where the Kings and Queens. They where known as the Oranges (William of Orange -> William II of Orange -> Emma of Orange -> Juliana of Orange -> Beathrix of Orange (William-Alexander of Orange). And because we all luv our dear Queen (Beathrix), we wear about anywhere at a National Event the colour Orange.

Highest winning margin in a World Cup finals is shared between:

Hungary 9-0 South Korea in 1954

Yugoslavia 9-0 Zaire in 1974

Hungary 10-1 El Salvador in 1982

The greatest margin of victory in any World Cup match was in the Ocenia Qualification for the 2002 World Cup when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0.

The greatest scoring match of a World Cup finals occured in a 1954 Quarter Finals Match where Austria came from 3-0 down against Switzerland to win 7-5.

India did not go to the tournament in Brazil 1950 due to the cost of travel, lack of practice time, team selection issues and valuing Olympics over FIFA World cup.

It was the West German Franz Beckenbauer who was the coach in 1990 in Italy and played in 1974.

Mário Zagallo was in fact the first person to accomplish this with Brazil. He played in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups of which he both won. He went on to coach the legendary 1970 Brazil team to World Cup victory in Mexico. He also coached his country in the 1974 and 1998 World Cups.

I believe Franz Beckenbauer was the second man to achieve this feat and the first European to do so.

It's depends on WHERE you play. England Premier League, Spain La Liga, and Italy Serie A play 38 games.

2 France was one of the four European teams that participated at the inaugural World Cup in 1930. France is one of the most successful football nations in the world. In the 1980s, led by midfielder and captain Michel Platini, the team reached semi-finals at both the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, and won the 1984 European Championship.
