He played for France, so assume they made it to most of the world cups back then. Not sure why he didn't ever score again.

31-0... in a focking soccer game!!! I don't know who should be more embarrassed, Australia for piling on or Samoa for giving up 31.

What the hell is this???? Homeless Worldcup? Do they get a cheeseburger if they score a goal?

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.

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.
