Soccer World Records

Raz, a border collie from Melbourne, Australia, played out every match of the 2026 World Cup on a backyard pitch of artificial turf, dribbling a soccer ball with his paws into a mini goal dressed with the two teams' flags. Where the ball ends up decides each result: against the yellow cones on one side is a win for that team, down the middle is a draw, and the draw option disappears once the knockout rounds begin. Checked match by match in the 11-minute compilation, filmed over several sessions by day and night, Raz settles all 104 matches from the group stage to a best-of-three final, plus a few extra runs to break ties in the group standings. His pick to lift the trophy: England, over the Netherlands.

Raz, a border collie in Melbourne, Australia, leaps a timber rail to chase a red-and-white soccer ball, then turns and dribbles it back across the grass. He rolls the ball beneath the rail and jumps over after it, completing the out-and-back in 9 seconds, timed from the video from his outward takeoff to his return landing. The ball takes the low road; Raz takes the high one.

Raz, a border collie, starts this clip lying on the artificial turf of a Melbourne, Australia backyard with a tennis ball in his mouth and a mini soccer goal behind him. When a small basketball-patterned ball is tossed in from beside the camera, he rises onto his hind legs, heads it straight up off his snout, then rears up again as it falls, cushions it against his chest and pins it to the turf under a front paw. Checked frame by frame, the 9-second clip is one continuous take, with about a second between the header and the trap. The tennis ball never leaves his mouth.

Raz, a border collie, trots up to a wooden equestrian cross-country table in a grassy field in Melbourne, Australia, crouches at its base and scrambles onto the top, where a red-and-white soccer ball is waiting. Standing on the tabletop, he paws the ball over the front edge and it drops to the grass below. Timed frame by frame from the video, 1.2 seconds pass between his push off the ground and the ball leaving the table. The jump is built for horses; Raz handles it like a step.

Lily, a golden retriever, and Raz, a border collie, chase a black soccer ball around their backyard in Melbourne, Australia, each with a toy in its mouth. Lily strikes the ball with a front paw at about 14 and 25 seconds into the 54-second clip, and Raz paws it on at about 23, 36 and 51 seconds, with family members rolling or kicking it back into play between turns. Checked frame by frame, the single continuous take shows both dogs kicking the ball with their paws, for a total of 2 dogs. Neither dog drops its toy to do it.

Xavier Wiggins walked to the home ground of all 92 Premier League and Football League clubs in 92 days, setting out from Swansea on 2 August 2025 and finishing at Home Park, Plymouth, on 1 November 2025. His Day 92 video shows him in his orange Walk92 hoodie striding the last stretch with fellow walkers clapping behind him, sitting in the Plymouth Argyle dugout and meeting the club mascot, Pilgrim Pete. The route covered roughly 2,000 miles with four rest days, and his day-by-day videos, club charities and local press along the way confirm the arrivals. Nearly a marathon a day for three months, all to spotlight the community work of football clubs.

William Cain kicks a soccer training ball on a cord straight up in his Melbourne living room and jumps to meet it with his head on the way down. Counted frame by frame, the ball leaves his foot and lands on his head 22 frames later, 0.73 seconds at the video's 30 frames per second. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing.
