June 14 in Russia began the 2018 World Cup in football.
While some are just beginning to play, like Argentina, others are already setting various records and antirecords.
Team Spain, winning a draw and a draw in the starting rounds of the world championship, updated the record for matches without defeats. "Furia rocha" does not lose contenders for already 22 matches.
The last time the wards Fernando Hierro left the field losers in the 1/4 finals of Euro-2016, when lost to Italy with a score of 0: 2.
The Uruguayan national team also has something to say on this Mundiale. For the first time in 68 years, "blue and white" won two starting matches at the World Championships. Having won Egypt in the first round (1: 0), Uruguay broke a series of 6 Mundiales, on which they failed to start successfully.
The last time they won the debut in the World Cup in 1970. As for the two consecutive victories, the last time it was back in 1954.
It is interesting that a separate achievement resigned to the attacking team of Uruguay - Luis Suarez. The victorious goal in the gate of Saudi Arabia striker scored in the 100th match for the national team.
Total on his account 52 goals scored.
The defeat of the Spanish national team interrupted the impressive series of Iran. More than three years, the Iranian team did not lose in official meetings. Prior to this game, they had held 23 meetings in which they did not suffer a single failure.
This indicator of Iran is the seventh in the history of international football.
Interesting anti-record "submitted" and the Australian team, which misses in every fight at the World Championships, since 1974.
