With the most famous football saying “They think it’s all over….It is Now” we come to a close on the 22^nd World Cup tournament from Qatar and start to think about what if?

We started off this World Cup with our fifth best number of entries in our ninth World Cup Golden Goals 2022 and we have ended up with a total of sixteen winners. 

Congratulations to CHRIS SETFORD on winning our ninth World Cup with his winning combination of Argentina (15) Brazil (8) France (16) Netherlands (10). It was Argentina and France that gave him the cash in the final as Danny Harrington who had been top for most of the tournament, had just Argentina in the final. His teams were Argentina, Brazil, England and Portugal.

We have now entered Chris’s name in to the record book with a total of 49 goals, he has now finished in 3^rd place in our World Cup Champions League. The best four teams that we had in the Qatar 2022 World Cup are

FRANCE (16) ARGENTINA (15) ENGLAND (13) PORTUGAL (12) Total of 56 goals

SPAIN holds the record for the highest score in Qatar with that 7-0 win over Costa Rica in Group E in their opening game.

Our worst teams finished with Belgium, Denmark, Tunisia and Wales as they have all scored just 1 goal in their three games in the first round.

The fastest goal was scored by Canada's Alphonso Davies in Group F against Croatia, when they lost 4-1 in their second game in the first round. It took him just 68 seconds.

Top Goal Scorer in Qatar 2022 was Kylian Mbappe from France with 8 goals who won the Golden Boot. In second place we had Lionel Messi from Argentina with 7 goals. In third place we had Olivier Giroud of France and Julián Álvarez from Argentina with 4 goals each. We then have 7 players with 3 goals each.

Our goals total finished at a grand total of 132 goals for the tournament which is our second highest score. Our top score is from the French World Cup 1998 with a total of 138 goals. 

Well that’s the end to our ninth World Cup Golden Goals. The next World Cup will be held in a joint tournament between Canada, Mexico, and USA in 2026 with a record breaking 48 nations playing. Let’s hope that we will be there again with another World Cup under our belts.
