4. The quickest hat-trickIn the past 52 World Cups, 52 players have scored hat-tricks, but none have done so as quickly as Hungary's Laszlo Kiss.

Hungary won the match by a score of 10-1.
3. The most goals scored in a single game

2. The highest number of goals scored in a single tournament
The 1958 World Cup may have been won by Brazil and their future star, Pele. Just Fontaine of France, on the other hand, was one of the competition's standout performers. With 13 goals, Fontaine guided his country to the 1958 World Cup semifinals. France, unfortunately, was crushed 5-2 by eventual champions Brazil.To date, the French striker holds the record for scoring double digits in a single edition of the competition, which he has held for 64 years.
1. Player with the most World Cup titles
Brazil dominated the World Cup between 1958 and 1970, winning three of the four editions. The Brazilians were simply unbeatable during that decade, with Pele serving as the center of attraction for those Brazilian squads. The legendary footballer was an integral component of Brazil's every championship triumph and is the only player in history to win three World Cup titles. However, due to an injury received midway through the 1962 World Cup, he did not play the entire tournament for Brazil.
