The highest-scoring matches in World Cup history

Some World Cup games are tense, cagey affairs. Others are goal avalanches.

The highest-scoring match in World Cup history is Austria's 7-5 win over Switzerland at the 1954 quarter-finals — 12 goals in a single game, in baking heat in Lausanne.

Modern matches are rarely so wild, but the new 48-team field means more mismatches in the group stage — and the odd goal-fest. Predict who racks them up in your bracket.
