Take a look at the biggest margins of victory in World Cup history.
While the World Cup has seen the best teams on the planet come together, it has thrown up some mismatches over the years, with six games featuring winning margins of eight goals or more, though only one has occurred since 1982.
Below we look at the biggest blowouts seen at the World Cup.
4= - Germany 8-0 Saudi Arabia (2002)
There have only been two post-war instances of eight-goal routs, and only one in the 21st century. Germany kicked off their 2002 World Cup campaign in style, going 4-0 up at the break against Saudi Arabia before scoring four more in the second half.
World Cup top scorer Miroslav Klose scored a hat-trick, with Michael Ballack, Carsten Jancker, Thomas Linke, Oliver Bierhoff and Bernd Schneider also getting on the scoresheet.
4= - Uruguay 8-0 Bolivia (1950)
After pulling out of the 1934 and 1938 World Cups in protest, inaugural World Cup winners Uruguay returned in 1950. With other pre-tournament withdrawals, Uruguay were drawn in a two-team group alongside Bolivia, who they'd beat 8-0 with Oscar Miguez scoring a hat-trick en route to a famous second World Cup win.
4= - Sweden 8-0 Cuba (1938)
Back in the days of a straight knockout competition, Sweden were drawn with Austria in the first round of the 1938 World Cup, but having been annexed by Germany prior to the tournament, meaning Sweden progressed straight to the quarter-finals, where they'd face Cuba.
Harry Andersson and Karl Wetterstrom netted hat-tricks with the latter claiming the match ball before half-time as Tore Keller and Arne Nyberg added two more.
1= - Yugoslavia 9-0 Zaire (1974)
You have to go so far back for the last 9-0 win in a World Cup that you find two countries who no longer exist. Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lost their first match 2-0 to Scotland before getting an absolute pasting at the hands of Yugoslavia, falling 6-0 down by the interval.
Dusan Bajevic bagged a hat-trick, with Dragan Dzajic, Ivica Surjak, Josip Katalinski, Vladisval Bogicevic, Branko Oblak and Ilija Petkovic adding the rest.
1= - Hungary 9-0 South Korea (1954)
The best team in the world at the time, Hungary were expected by many to win the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, and their 9-0 drubbing of South Korea in their first match did little to quell the enthusiasm.
Featuring the likes of Ferenc Puskas and Sandor Kocsis, Hungary were 4-0 up at the break with Puskas and Kocsis getting on the scoresheet alongside Mihaly Lantos. Puskas would add his second with Kocsis completing a hat-trick as Zoltan Czibor and Peter Pelotas added the rest.
1= - Hungary 10-1 El Salvador (1982)
Far removed from their glory days of the 1950s, Hungary still had one more World Cup record to break, becoming the first -- and to date only -- side to score 10 goals in a match.
Hungary raced into a 3-0 lead through skipper Tibor Nyilasi, Gabor Poloskei and Laszlo Fazekas before the floodgates opened in the second half. Jozsef Toth scored the fourth with Fazekas completing a brace inside the hour. El Salvador pulled on back through Luis Ramirez, before sub Laszlo Kiss became the first substitute in World Cup history to score a hat-trick, doing so in just seven minutes, as Nyilasi scored his second late on.
