What Makes Just Fontaine’s Record Of 13 Goals In A Single World Cup Nearly Impossible To Surpass?
Safebettingsites.com has been looking at the FIFA WC’s goal-scoring records and reports it will take some beating to break Fontaine’s 13-goal record. The site’s sports expert, Edith Reads, adds it’ll take something remarkable to match, let alone beat it.
Edith explains, “Fontaine’s record of 13 goals in a single World Cup is a testament to his talent and unyielding determination. It’s a record that has stood the test of time, and breaking it would require a remarkable feat of skill, endurance, and luck. It’s not impossible. But surpassing Fontaine’s legacy would take a truly exceptional player.”
She concludes that looking at the statistics surrounding Fontaine’s record, it will take a player averaging over two goals a game to top it. To her, that’s an incredible feat, no matter what generation you are talking about.
Edith holds that several reasons make beating Fontaine’s record a tall order. To begin with, modern football has become much more defensive. Teams are now focussing on preventing goals as much as scoring them. That means individual players have fewer opportunities to score, as breaking down well-drilled defenses is more difficult.
