When Belgium took the lead against South Korea last Thursday it took the number of goals scored in the 2014 FIFA World Cup to 136. In South Africa four years ago, it was 101 at this stage. In 2006, it was 117. There were 130 in 2002 and 126 in 1998, when the current format began and the final number, 171, was the highest goal-count in the history of the competition. At the current rate, this tournament is well on course to establish a new record!
