World Cup total goals scored<\/strong><\/p>\n Over 290.5: -425 (bet $10 to win $12.35 total) Let’s go back in time first. Here are the goal totals from the last 10 World Cups:<\/p>\n 2022: 172 As you can see, the last three World Cups have been goal-heavy, with the previous record of 171 tied in 2014 and that record broken in 2022 with 172.<\/p>\n But those numbers are going to go out the window this year and in the coming years presumably.\u00a0<\/p>\n If 64 matches were played in 2022 in Qatar, and 172 goals were scored, that’s about 3.583 goals per match. With 104 matches taking place in 2026, if that same goals-per-match rate keeps up, that’s about 373 goals scored.\u00a0<\/p>\n In terms of per country, Brazil has the most goals scored with 237, followed by Germany (232), Argetina (152), France (136) and Italy (128). The USA is at 40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY Expect to see a lot of soccer balls stuck in the back of the net come this summer.\u00a0 The 2026 World Cup will feature a large uptick in games played now that there are 48 teams in the fold as opposed to 32.
