Four years ago we saw Portugal wallop minnows North Korea 7-0 in South Africa. Friday night the mighty World Cup holders Spain were humiliated by the team they beat in the final four years ago, the Netherlands, by a scoreline that can be considered a proper hiding: 5-1. So the Brazilian World Cup has already offered at least one similar, though unexpected goalfest, despite feeling slightly sorry for the losers, particularly if they face summary execution on their return home, as the North Koreans probably did. Here is SWAG’s list of the top 10 biggest scorelines in World Cup finals’ history (alongside the ones already mentioned).
10. 7-1 Italy vs USA (Italy ‘34)
9. 7-1 Brazil vs Sweden (Germany 74)
8. 7-0 Poland vs Haiti (Germany ‘74)
7. 7-0 Uruguay vs Scotland (Switzerland ‘54)
6. 8-0 Sweden vs Cuba (France ‘38)
5. 8-0 Germany vs Saudi Arabia (Japan & S Korea ‘02)
4. 8-0 Uruguay vs Bolivia (Brazil ‘50)
3. 9-0 Hungary vs South Korea (Switzerland ‘54)
2. 9-0 Yugoslavia vs Zaire (Germany ‘74)
1. 10-1 Hungary vs El Salvador (Spain ‘82)
