The 2026 World Cup is only a few days old and the opening match already ended with three red cards — the most in a World Cup game since 2006. But that's a quiet afternoon compared to what this tournament has produced before.

Games so violent that police had to walk onto the pitch — four separate times. A match where the fighting didn't stop at the final whistle, but carried on down the tunnel and into the dressing rooms. A single game with twenty cards. And a World Cup final settled by a kick to the chest. These are the most violent matches in World Cup history.
