Did You Know?

Okay, fact hounds this is for you.

Robert Lewandowski scored 5 goals in 9 minutes after coming on as a sub in a Bayern Munich league game.They where playing Wolfsburg and where even losing 1-0. Talk about a super-sub!

Alan Shearer, who played for the Blackburn Rovers a team in the English Premier league, scored 260 goals in his career in the English Premier League. This is an unbeaten record as of now.

Blowout And Upsets

The highest goal count in an international match was 31-0. It was Australia versus American Samoan. Someone named Archie Thompson scored 13 times. Another guy named David Zdrilic scored 8. What a blowout!

Ever heard of Russia making it far in the World Cup tournament? I hadn’t until the 2018 world cup when they made it into the knockout stages. They even beat Spain, a favorite to win, and knocked them out of the competition. What a run for Russia!

Speed

Now after talking about lots of goals let’s talk about fast goals. Top 5 fastest goals.

5. Clint Dempsey USA – Playing Ghana Clint scored left footed in the 29th second!

4.Bryan Robson England – In the 1982 World Cup, Bryan Robson scored after just 27 seconds with the ball in play.

3.Ernst Lehner Germany – Getting down to it, we have a very talented German winger who definitely deserves this honor. He, in the 1934 World Cup, netted the ball after just 25 seconds.

2. Vaclav Masek Czechoslovakia – In second we have a very noticeable jump in time. In third, it was 25 seconds. Now it is 16. Vaclav Masek found the back of the net, in the 1962 World Cup, in only 16 seconds. Wow!

1. Hakan Sukur Turkey – The second most recent and by far the most impressive. This Turkey star unbelievably scored after 11 seconds , only 11. Count to 11. That is about how long it took him to find the net. This happened in 2002. And if that isn’t impressive enough, the team was playing for whoever gets 3rd place! This alone is super impressive!
