"Ref ups" record has been completely shattered this World Cup. I don't even know if 4 years is enough for people to forget
But back on topic, I hope Klose beats Ronaldo's record. He's been an absolute monster in the wc's
Some meaningful records at stake in 2010:
1) Most appearances in a World Cup final
7, Brazil, Germany
Germany can take this record
2) Most appearances in World Cup semifinal
11, Germany
Germany can add one semifinal appearance
3) Most goals scored, overall finals
15, Ronaldo (Brazil, 1998–2006).
Klose is now with 14, he has potentially two games to score 2 times.
4) Most goals scored in all Final matches
3, Vavá (Brazil, 2 vs Sweden in 1958 & 1 vs Czechoslovakia in 1962), Pelé (Brazil, 2 vs Sweden in 1958 & 1 vs Italy in 1970), Geoff Hurst (England, 3 vs West Germany in 1966), and Zinedine Zidane (France, 2 vs Brazil in 1998 & 1 vs Italy in 2006).
To beat this record a player would have to do that in one game. No 2010 players have already scored in a final.
5) Most consecutive matches with at least one goal
6, Just Fontaine (France, 1958) and Jairzinho (Brazil, 1970).
not reachable
6) Most tournaments with at least four goals
3, Miroslav Klose (Germany, 2002–2010).
Klose is a WC beast
7) Biggest margin of victory in a final
3, France (3) vs. Brazil (0) 1998 and Brazil (4) vs. Italy (1), 1970 and Brazil (5) vs. Sweden (2), 1958.
If Germany makes it to the final and keeps on playing like that this record could be beaten.
8) Fewest goals per match in a tournament
2.21 goals per match, 1990.
record on the verge to be beaten unfortunately
9) Most goals scored in a tournament
13, Just Fontaine (France), 1958.
This one will never be beaten IMO
thoughts ? other WC records than can be taken this year ? what is your favorite record ?

Most shots without a goal: Messi, 2010
I want Klose to take the record because he is just such an incredibly classy guy...
Lampard says off
absolutely, normally I'm not a huge fan of Germany (I still have difficulties to swallow 82 and 86) but I have to admit Klose is a classy stud !
lol... most talked without backing it up: boston.balla, 2010
Actually, Klose is a in that he rests for 4 years in his club, then all of a sudden he gets to work for the World Cup...
yeah but german won't complain about that
I'm sure Argies would prefer an invisible player with Barcelona and a beast in WC
Man, I actually wouldn't really mind Klose passing Ronaldo, mainly because Klose will have done it in one less WC, which is so beasty. He deserves it, idk how he does it lol
Who wouldn't? Argies don't give a about Barcelona...
Football is a sport with 22 players and at the end Germany wins
It's impressive. Ronnie was no slouch.
But Ronaldo didn't play in 1994 right? So he pretty much did it in 3 WCs as well.

That's actually a very good point, I didn't even seem to think of that. All of his did come in '98, '02 and '06. Still though, Klose is a class act, and if he passes it, I'd have nothing but respect.
Still though, wouldn't mind seeing him finish with 14 or even 15
Klose was never "shining" like Ronaldo but he has this instinct being the right time in the right spot.
Like the header against australia. Great lift off, great header and having the guts going like that to the ball. Half a second later and the GK knocks the out of him one meter above the grass...
One more record first time since 1930 with two missed penalties in the same game
another one: after this WC Brazil won't be anymore the only country to have won a WC outside his continent
If Villa scores in the next two matches...
Do "3rd place" matches count???
true dat
That depends if you consider North and South America to be different continents or not.
South Africa is the 1st country helding the WC which didn't advance
I thought I heard somewhere that this is the world cup with the least goals so far. But don't know for sure though.
