By Mikhail Turner , Contributor Jan 17, 2013. High-scoring games in soccer can be fun, but sometimes things get out of hand. When two teams meet and the winner is painfully obvious beforehand, the result could be a blowout. There have been plenty of lopsided games in soccer, but these games are a cut above the rest. The margin of victory in these games is astounding when you consider that professionals are involved. Here are the seven worst blowouts in world football history.
Charles Guiteau was very eager to be the ambassador to France. Garfield wouldn't let him. So Guiteau assassinated Garfield. However, Guiteau did later say that God told him so, and thought he should be revered and congratulated for his great feat. He even offered a poem that he wrote about it at his hanging.
The major reason Garfield is remembered less than Lincoln or Kennedy is that Garfield was shot on July 2, 1881, after serving less than four months of his first term. Garfield died later that September, but basically spent the months between July and September in bed dying of his bullet wounds.
