spork in the road 2 Posted June 14, 2006 I found different.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup I think Edjr's question was "Who scored the most goals in a single world cup?" I took that to mean who scored the most goals over the course of the entire tournament, not who scored the most goals in a single game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took that to mean who scored the most goals over the course of the entire tournament, not who scored the most goals in a single game. that's what that said. Same guy, one tournement, but 13. Not sure what is right, that's just what it says. eta: I was also just pointing out another fact that I thought was pretty crazy. The other was in bold below that also.
