Iran - After winning the Asian Cup for the third time in a row two years later qualified for Argentina 1978 where they were placed in a group with iconic teams of the times the eventual runner ups Dutch side, then SA champs Peru and that Kenny Dalglish Scotland side.

New Zealand defeated Bahrain in the inter continental play offs in 2010 it doesn't mean they qualified from Asian qualification zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 1,437 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 ,I don't know what Guinness would actually accept. Some recent dude that is more provable or embrace one of the legends.... Genghis Khan was often said to have more than 1000 kids but would they genuinely settle on that as a provable figure? I'll go for B, 1042. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's B The Guinness World record of most children of a human being is held by Sultan Moulay Ismael ibn Al Sharif of Morocco during 55 years of his reign he fathered 1042 children from almost 500 women, some wives many not wives Unofficial figure is 1171 but Guinness book records at 1042, his only figure greater than his kids is the number of people he executed including some of his sons.
