#2 Longest start to a World Cup without a 0-0 draw - 37 games
During the 1954 FIFA World Cup, there wasn’t a single 0-0 in the entire tournament which had 26 games altogether. That record was broken and extended to 37 games at the current World Cup.
Before the final group stage fixtures of Group C, the one thing that the tournament guaranteed was goals but France and Denmark ensured that was no longer the case.
Going into their final group stage game, France already qualified for the next round and Denmark only needed a draw to ensure they reached the knockout stage irrespective of the result of the other game between Australia and Peru.
Both teams didn’t put in any serious effort to score and played the dullest game of the tournament so far and were rightfully booed by their fans at full-time. That was also the only goalless draw after 40 games.
