It's difficult to find statistics because it's an unwanted record, but it doesn't occur too often,  but it could happen again in any match, mainly for the preasure of the tournament over the players and any one could make a mistake.\nIn this world cup, it happen in the match: England vs Paraguay, final socre: 1:0 (The goal was by Carlos Gamarra of Paraguay) so that was worst than the result of the match USA vs Italy, final score 1:1 (The goal of USA, was by Cristian Zaccardo of Italy)\n\nFor your record, these are the statistics related to FIFA world cup: \n# Carlos Gamarra’s misplaced header against England, timed at three minutes, was the quickest own goal in FIFA World Cup history. The previous fastest was scored by Yugoslavia’s Ivan Horvat, who netted an own goal in the 9th minute against Germany FR in 1954.\n# England have twice benefited from own goals in the competition, the first was scored for them by Josef Barmos of Czechoslovakia in 1982. But Italy have benefited most of all – four FIFA World Cup own goals have worked to their advantage.\n\n# The first ever FIFA World Cup own goal was scored by Switzerland’s Ernst Loertscher v Germany in 1938 while only one game in FIFA World Cup history has featured two own goals – the clash between Portugal and USA on 5 June 2002 with Jorge Costa and Jeff Agoos the luckless pair.

Hakan Sukur, 11 seconds. By fastest, I think you mean least amount of time from the start whistle to score. The answer is Turkey forward Hakan Sukur in 2002 WC 3rd place game against South Korea. Sukur scored after a mere 11 seconds. i dont know if this feat speaks of hakan sukur's ability or the complete lack thereof of the South Koerean defense, but that is beyond this question.
