Well, serves 'em right for questioning the superiority of Kazakhstan's potassium exports.
Didn't Australia beat New Zealand beat 58-0 once?
Iceland beat Armenia 50-0 last year. The stats from Armenia's four games in that tourney's round-robin were staggeringly bad, including one forward with a minus-86 and a team goal differential of -140. Again, that was in four games. Ouch.

Right now, they're too busy beating the holy $@*^ out of everyone else in cricket. An Ashes whitewash, for god's sake.

Don't ever play 'Lady of Spain' again!
Denmark lost to Canada 47-0 in the World Championships in 1949.
How many goals did Borat score?
I believe the IIHF record for a pasting is 92-0 in the WJC DivIII in 1998, though for some reason I can't recall the teams.... I'm thinking Austriala vs Thailand for some reason.
