the subtitle reveals part of the reason: only in half of the countries there was record search interest in 2022.
secondly: there is no way to be sure that it's predominantly World Cup which generated the record interest. For some of those countries it surely did, for others - we can't really be certain. And I'm quite comfortably sure that for Poland the cause for record interest has little to do with World Cup - it's mostly war in Ukraine.
What your data says is at most that World Cup, among other events, might generate increased global interest.
