Where is the GOAT Cristiano? How many knockout goals does he have?
BoulderRivers on
On 8 July 2014, Klose scored a record 16th World Cup goal in the 23rd minute [against hosts Brazil in the semi-finals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_v_Germany_(2014_FIFA_World_Cup)), his second goal of the 2014 World Cup. That goal gave Germany a 2–0 lead *en route* to a historic **7–1 win over Brazil**, and Klose surpassed the Brazilian Ronaldo’s previous record of 15 World Cup goals.

(For anyone who’s curious, the top scorer for the Women’s WC is Marta with 17 goals in 23 matches. Michelle Akers has 12 goals in 13 matches but none of the top scorers have an average of over a goal a match like Müller and some of the other early male players.)

This visualisation would be more interesting with the date range or World Cup years that the goals were scored in

I know Neuer can’t be in this statistic but I feel like she should get an honourable mention.

Miroslav Klose is really underappreciated, in my opinion. He was not only a prolific goal scorer, but also a good character to have in a team. While rather quiet and composed, he has more integrity than most of his contemporaries. One incident I still remember is when he (accidentally) scored a goal by hand while playing for Lazio. In the days before VAR the ref had missed that and awarded a goal. Klose told the ref that he had scored by hand and that he should take back the goal. Which professional player at the time would do something like that?
