Brazil Becomes Most-Goal Scoring Country at FIFA World Cups
It is well known that the Brazil team has a lot of records against their name in its rich football history. The Brazilian team entered the quarter-finals of FIFA World Cup 2018 after they defeated Mexico 2-0 in their pre-quarterfinal match, on Monday. With the win, Brazil registered a new record against their name – scoring most goals in FIFA World Cup history.
Brazil has now scored 228 goals in a total of 108 matches they have played at FIFA World Cup tournaments. The Selecao team went past Germany who held the previous record of scoring 226 goals in their FIFA World Cup history.
In their 108 matches, Brazil has won 73 matches and lost only 17 matches, with 18 matches ending in a draw. Also, the Brazilian team is the only team in football history to have won the FIFA World Cup trophy five times.
As Brazil went past the Mexican challenge in Russia, it also added another feather in its cap. We take a look at the list of teams (in ascending order) in terms of most goals scored in FIFA World Cups, over the years.
With the win against Mexico in their Round of 16 game, Brazil has booked themselves a berth in the quarterfinals of FIFA World Cup 2018. The victory also means that the Brazilian team has qualified for the quarters 7th straight time.
Germany is out of the multi-nation mega-tournament and it serves a perfect opportunity for the Brazilian team to stretch their lead. Stay tuned with us for all the latest updates of 2018 FIFA World Cup!

UDF will have huge win in Kerala, NDA won't open its account: Cong leader Satheesan
Kochi (PTI): Senior Congress leader V D Satheesan on Friday expressed confidence in a huge win by the UDF, claiming it will make a clean sweep in five districts, and brushed aside speculations that the NDA will open its account in Kerala.
Satheesan, speaking to reporters here a day after the conclusion of the Assembly polls, praised the performance of the UDF leaders and workers during the election, saying it was the best ever he has seen in the last 30 years.
He said that his claims of the UDF getting over 100 seats is not a mere statement, but based on the work the front has done during the last five years to bring back all those who had left it in 2005 and as a result, there was a huge wave in its favour in the state.
The leader of opposition in the state assembly, who contested from the Paravoor constituency, further said that the Congress-led front also had a major social backing from minorities and marginalised groups in the society.
Besides that, there was an anti-incumbency feeling among the people who were disappointed with the LDF rule, he claimed and said that the UDF provided them with a hope and an alternative which no other opposition had done in the past.
"All these factors will contribute to a huge win for the UDF and it would not be surprising if we make a clean sweep in Malappuram, Wayanad, Ernakulam, Idukki and Pathanamthitta districts. That is a total of 43 seats," he said.
According to him, the polling percentage increased because the UDF got people added to the electoral list.
He also brushed aside the LDF remarks about a woman or youth CM, saying that "they can make such statements now as they know they cannot win".
"Otherwise, why did they campaign with Pinarayi Vijayan as the main factor. Why did they say a third Pinarayi rule will come?" he asked.
He also claimed that the LDF's decision to spend government money on its political campaign, by putting up hoardings and carrying out social media programmes to sway voters, has also backfired as people realised that their taxes were being wasted like that.
Asked whether the NDA will open its account, especially in areas where the UDF claimed the BJP-led front had made a deal with the LDF, Satheesan replied in the negative.
He said that as of now he does not see any chance of the NDA opening its account in the state.
