JAKARTA - Football is the most popular sport in the world, no one will dispute it. Over the years, no other sport has demonstrated the capacity to capture the imagination of the world like football.
And the World Cup can be thought of as a showcase of all the good that football has to offer. The tournament which is held every four years has produced some unforgettable moments for sports lovers.
The 1998 World Cup in France and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil recorded the highest number of goals, as many as 171. The 2018 World Cup in Russia is in third place with 169 goals.
However, in terms of goals/games average, the 1954 World Cup still leads at the top. The World Cup, which was held in Switzerland, produced an average of 5.38 goals per game.
This streak of goals is mainly due to the new format adopted in this edition of the World Cup. In this unique format, teams are divided into four groups, with each group consisting of two seeded teams and two non-seeded teams.

Meanwhile, the 1938 World Cup in France produced 4.67 goals/game. And the 1934 World Cup, 4.12 goals were scored per game.
The Qatar World Cup is just a few months away. The first World Cup to be held in the Arabian peninsula also has the potential to create new records. However, we still have to wait patiently if we want to be witnesses.
The 2022 World Cup will take place from November 21 to December 18.
