LESS goals in a match than a junior football side ... Bradley of Boort has cottoned on to the score line as teams battle it out for the World Cup of soccer. The round ball game that currently has millions around the world glued to television screens at all hours of the day and night may not be in the same high-scoring league as the Australian football version but there have been a few thrilling matches as countries battle it out to make the final 16.
---------------------------------------
THE highest-scoring game in FIFA World Cup history is the 1954 quarter-final between Austria and Switzerland, which ended in a 12-goal thriller with Austria winning 7-5. Not a patch though on a more recent encounter when AS Adema downed SO l’Emyrne 149-0 in 2002. It holds the world record for the highest scoreline in football history, as recognised by The Guinness Book of Records. SO l’Emyrne (SOE) intentionally lost to rivals AS Adema in a self-orchestrated protest over unfavorable refereeing decisions in a previous match that cost them the national championship
