  • On their way to the 2002 World Cup,Brazil endured their worst qualifying campaign ever, losing 6 matches (the only time they have lost more than 2 games in a qualifying campaign) and finishing 3rd of the South American qualifying group (the only time they have not emerged as leaders of their qualifying group). However, Brazil went on to win the 2002 World Cup with a record-breaking tally of 7 wins in 7 matches in the final competition, without facingextra time orpenalty shoot-outs. The following teams also won all their final competition matches:Uruguay in 1930 (4 games),Italy in 1938 (4 games, 1 of which after extra time), Brazil in 1970 (6 games) andFrance in 1998 (7 games, of which 1 with agolden goal during extra time and 1 on penalties). In 1970, Brazil had also won all of their 6 preliminary competition matches. Uruguay did not play any preliminary round for 1930, as there was none, and Italy did not either for 1938 as they were automatically qualified for the World Cup as title holders.
  • After finishing second in the group, where theyfamously lost 1–5 to England,Germany had to play qualifying play-offs for the only time in their history.
  • Australia netted 31 goals against newcomers American Samoa, setting the record of the highest-scoring match and biggest margin of victory in an international match ever. This was only two days after Australia thrashed Tonga 22–0, a then international record. Also,Archie Thompson's 13 goals in the match against American Samoa surpassed the previous record of 10.
  • Souleymane Mamam ofTogo became the youngest player ever to play in a World Cup qualifying match at the age of 13 years and 310 days in the match against Zambia, in May 2001. He subbed in forKomlan Assignon, three minutes from full-time.
  • The fastest-everhat-trick in an "A" international was set whenAbdul Hamid Bassiouny ofEgypt needed only 177 seconds to bag his three goals in a game against Namibia.
  • Switzerland'sKubilay Türkyilmaz scored ahat trick exclusively frompenalties against the Faroe Islands. Brazil'sRonaldo would equal this against Argentina in his team's 3–1 win in the2006 World Cup qualifying round.
