11 days to go

It’s always nice to get an early goal to settle the nerves, particularly when you’re playing in the World Cup. And that’s exactly what Turkey got when Hakan Sukur put his side ahead against South Korea at the 2002 tournament.

The strike was officially timed at
11 seconds and makes it the fastest goal in World Cup history.

England’s Bryan Robson made a bit of World Cup history for the Three Lions when he scored after just 27 seconds against France in 1982. It was our fastest goal in the competition and England went on to win the match 3-1.
