Top 15 Almost Unbreakable Records In The World Soccer History

Records are meant to be broken, It is a famous saying. This process of making and breaking records continues in the game of football. But whoever said it has perhaps not been conversant with these football records. Certain records are meant to remain immortalized in their accomplishment and glory. These records are such that would require a superhuman being or a superhero to break, the kind that normal players would even dither to think of. Let's have a look at 15 such almost invincible records and are expected to remain unbeaten in near future.

#15. Youngest player to debut in professional football - Mauricio Baldivieso (12 years)

Mauricio Baldivieso, a Bolivian midfielder, played for Aurora against FC La Paz, only at the age of 12 and thus became the youngest player to play a professional soccer match.

It is quite dubious that football fans will see someone playing in professional football leagues even younger than Mauricio Baldivieso. Therefore, the record of being the youngest football player is likely to remain with the man, Mauricio Baldivieso.

#14. Most goals in a single World Cup - 13 by Just Fontaine (France)

Scoring 5 or 6 goals is just enough to achieve the 'Golden Boot', in most of the World Cups, but it wasn’t enough in the 1958 edition of FIFA WC in Sweden. In his first World Cup, Just Fontaine smashed all kinds of goalscoring records, scoring an impressive 13 goals as Les Bleus finished third in Scandinavia.

16 is the highest number of goals scored in World Cups ever. But Fontaine managed to score 13 goals in only one edition. As of now, Fontaine ranks fourth in the table of most goals at the World Cup, but his record of 13 goals in a single edition will likely always be his.

#13. Highest score in a match - 149-0!

AS Adema 149â0 SO l'Emyrne — AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne

AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne was a football match played on 31 October 2002 between two teams in Antananarivo, Madagascar, which has been immortalised by the Guinness Book of World Records for producing the biggest scoreline in club football.

SO l'Emyrne intentionally lost the game against their arch-rivals AS Adema in protest over refereeing decisions that had gone against them during a four-team playoff tournament. The match surpassed the previous record for the highest scoreline when Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36-0, in the Scottish Cup set in 1885. However, the Scottish Cup game is still regarded as the highest scoring, down to the fact it was a clean and proper game of football, as opposed to a thrown game.

#12. Most goals scored by goalkeepers - 128 by Rogerio Ceni (Brazil)

Well, according to our knowledge, goalkeepers are meant to save other teams from scoring goals against his team. And, this is quite natural as each and every player is assigned to a particular role in the field.

However, in soccer, there have been few rare occasions when goalkeepers scored for their teams. It is Rogerio Ceni, the Brazilian goalkeeper, who holds the record for scoring most goals for his team in combined national or international matches. So far, Ceni has scored 128 goals.

#11. Shortest time to a red card - Lee Todd (within 2 seconds)

Of course you won't be so proud if you do own this kind of record but still, Lee Todd holds such a record that we can expect to remain unbroken for the whole future football life. You can get surprised if you didn’t know this earlier, that is only within 2 seconds of a soccer match, a player got to see a red card from the referee.

It was in 2000, Lee Todd, the goalie of Cross Park Farm Celtic, was sent off only within 2 seconds for saying "F*ck me, that was loud.", after the referee blew his whistle to start the match. Was it a kind of harsh red card, what do you say?

#10. Fastest hat-trick ever - Alex Torr (in 70 seconds)

Often we see that in a whole football match, hardly two or three goals are scored. Again, on the other hand, we also see players scoring a hat-trick in one match. But you definitely will get surprised to know that the fastest hat-trick in a football match was scored in 70 seconds only. Alex Torr of Rawson Spring is the man who holds such a record. He scored back to back three goals in just 70 seconds. Rawson won the match 7-1 over Winn Gardens.

Alex scored his first goal in the 11th minutes of the game, then the 2nd one on 11 minutes 30 seconds and then he completed his treble after 12 minutes and 10 seconds. Unbelievable, right?

#9. Most international goals - 109 by Ali Daei (Iran)

Ali Daei from Iran holds the record of scoring most goals in international matches. Ali scored 109 international goals in his 149 international matches, in his 13 years career span.

Ali played for Iran actively between the years 1993 to 2006 and had a very good average of 0.73 goals per match. Although many other players have better 'goals per match' average, still no one can manage to score more goals than Ali Daei. He is the only player who also has crossed the century mark for goals in international football.

#8. Highest attendance at a football game - Brazil vs Uruguay (1950 FIFA WC Final)

The 1950 World Cup final, played at Maracanã Stadium between Brazil and Uruguay, is the event most commonly remembered as 'Maracanazo' or 'The Maracanã Blow', is one of the biggest upsets in football history. It also holds the record for hosting the highest number of spectators in a football game.

The listed official attendance was 199,854, but unofficially almost 210,000 people were present on that day to witness the final in the stadium. In that match, Brazil lost to Uruguay 1-2. It was the saddest day in Brazilian football.

#7. 5 European Cups in a row - Real Madrid CF (1955-1960)

From 1955 to 1960, five consecutive European Cups in a row! Real Madrid just destroyed their opponents en route to their five consecutive titles. During those five years, Real Madrid became the greatest and strongest European club ever.

Real Madrid won their first European Cup in history on June 13, 1956. It was the first of their five consecutive cups it would win. This great success was achieved at the hands of one of the greatest footballers, Alfredo Di Stéfano. No doubt, this record is immortal and can never be broken.

#6. Least wins in a Premier League season - Derby Country

This hopeless record is held by Derby County, in their 2007-08 season. It was Derby County's 109th season in the Football League. For 19 of the teams, the 2007-08 season was a competitive one, but for the 20th team, it was disappointing.

In their 38 games of the season, Derby won only one against Newcastle. They also accumulated the league's lowest points total as they lost 29 games, scored only 20 goals, conceded 89 goals and with only 11 points, they finished the season.

#5. Most goals by a team in a single professional match - 31 by Australia

In April 2001, a qualifying match for 2002 FIFA WC was played between Australia and American Samoa at the International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour, Australia, in which Australia scored 31 goals against American Samoa. Surprisingly, American Samoa was unable to score even a single goal in the whole match.

As a result, Australia set the record for the biggest professional international win. This match is considered to be the most unbalanced match in the history of the game.

#4. Most individual goals in a single match - 13 by Archie Thompson (Australia)

It was the same match discussed in point 5 (qualifying match for 2002 FIFA WC, Australia vs American Samoa), when the record of most individual goals in a single football match was made.

Archie Thompson of Australia scored 13 goals in the match against American Samoa to break the previous record of most goals.

#3. Most world cup matches by an individual player - Lothar Matthäus (Germany)

Enter captionEnter caption — Lothar Matthäus

You might not feel that it is an important record to know but still, it is one of those international records which we can expect to remain unbeaten in the near future. German midfielder Lothar Matthäus holds the record of playing most number of FIFA WC matches.

He appeared in 25 WC matches. He had to play five consecutive WCs in order to achieve such a record. It's quite difficult to expect any other player to play for such a long period of time in the near future.

#2. Most appearances in FIFA world cups - 21 by Brazil

Brazil appeared in 21 FIFA WCs, which is most for any team. Germany and Italy are at second and third positions respectively with 19 and 18 appearances, but this record seems to remain as it is because we expect Brazil to participate in all the future FIFA World Cups.

#1. Most goals in one calendar year - 91 by Lionel Messi (Argentina)

Lionel Andrés Messi, of Argentina, is one of the most admired and most followed footballers of the modern era. No doubt, he is one of the greatest footballers the world of football has ever seen. From 2009 to 2012, he won FIFA Ballon d’Or for four consecutive years.

The Argentine striker holds the record of scoring most goals in one calendar year in the whole football history. Leo scored 79 goals for Barça and another 12 for his national team, Argentina in 69 official games, in the 2011-12 football season. Now, what would you say, is it a magic? Yeah, you're right, it's 'Messi Magic'!
