Looking back on the World Cup history, many records could be broken by the time 2022 Qatar kicks off. The biggest tournament in the world is coming to the Middle East for the first time, and it is expected to create a big craze among all football fans. Here is a look at different World Cup records that are up for grabs:
Most Red Cards in World Cup – Brazil
Brazil has won the World Cup a record five times, and they are widely regarded as one of the best teams in the game’s history. They’ve also been docked 11 red cards during their run at the top—the most of any team in World Cup history.
Could this record be broken in Qatar? It seems unlikely. But who knows? Maybe we’ll see an even more heated rivalry between Brazil and Germany than in 2014 when they clashed on the pitch repeatedly.
World Cup Win Records – Germany and Brazil
The two most successful teams in FIFA World Cup history, five-time tournament winners Brazil and four-time tournament winners Germany have both played 109 matches in the World Cup. The German team has won 53% of their matches, while the Brazilian team has won 63% of theirs.
But who will win the race for most wins at Qatar 2022? It’s hard to say who will come out on top—but we can be sure that both teams will be going for victory with everything they have.
Most Losses in the World Cup – Mexico
Mexico has the worst luck in World Cup history when it comes to losing matches. They have lost 27 matches, more than any other team in the competition’s history. This means they have played 57 matches and still haven’t won a title.
It’s hard to imagine how much it must hurt for a team who goes into every match with such confidence. Only to be defeated again and again by their opponents. This is especially true when you consider the close calls they’ve had over the years.
With Mexico still in contention for this year’s World Cup, we can only hope that they’ll be able to turn things around and finally break their unlucky streak.
Didier Deschamps Legendary Coach Status Sealed
Didier Deschamps may have already achieved legendary manager status, but he’s on course to make more history in Qatar in 2022.
The France boss is already in the World Cup history books as one of only three managers to win the World Cup as a player and a coach and one of only two to win the title as captain and coach.
Among all the qualified managers for this edition, he has coached the most games – 12 – and is on course to extend that record. But he will be most interested in setting the record for most wins in the World Cup as a manager, as two more wins will have him at 11 wins in total, a feat no manager has managed at the Mundial.
