The FIFA World Cup has seen some good semifinal objectives traditionally, from Diego Maradona’s brace towards Belgium to Roberto Baggio’s stunner towards Bulgaria in 1994.

The World Cup, beginning in 1930, noticed quite a few adjustments in its format through the years, with semifinals being re-introduced in 1982, after lacking it in 1978. Till 1978, groups certified for the finals after group phases, the primary and second spherical respectively.

So far, 36 semifinals have been performed since and 79 objectives have been scored, which incorporates Brazil’s notorious 1-7 loss to Germany within the 2014 World Cup.
