In every National team, there always seems to be a dominant force, someone that fans will always remember. When it comes to football, it is generally the top goal scorers that are remembered by the fans. A World Cup 2010 Forum is likely to be the best place to keep up to date with current goal scorers, but what about previous ones?
#10 Teofilo Cubillas
Teofilo Cubillas started his World Cup career in 1970, and played his last tournament in 1982. He was an asset to the team, which can be seen with his goal count, which tallied to 10 by the end of his stretch.
#9 Gary Lineker
As far as the England team goes, Gary Linekar was one of the most popular players in his time. He managed to get 6 goals back in 1986 and then another 4 when he joined the team in 1990, totaling 10 throughout his appearances.
#8 Gabriel Batistuta
Gabriel Batistuta is the flying Argentinean, and certainly made some great and questionable plays throughout his career. 1994-2002 were his glory days, where he managed to get a total of 10 goals in a very exciting way.
#7 Helmut Rahn
As far as Argentineans go, none will be remembered more than Batistuta, but Helmut Rahn comes very close. He participated in 1954 and 1958, getting 10 shots in the back of the net in just 9 matches - very impressive.
#6 Jurgen Klinsmann
Jurgen Klinsmann was well known for his goal celebrations. He played in 1990, 1994 and 1998 and managed to tally 11 goals in his time playing, again, a very impressive performance.
#5 Sandor Kocsis
Hungary is not necessarily a country that is associated with fame. That being said, Sandor Kocsis did a great job, when he managed 11 goals.
#4 Pele
The Brazilian is probably one of the most well known historic players of all time. Starting in 1958 at the age of just 17 and finishing in 1970, he managed to achieve 12 goals. Check out a World Cup 2010 Forum to see just how very popular he is.
#3 Just Fontaine
France was next to have some limelight, with Just Fontaine making a flash appearance in 1958. He managed a staggering 13 goals in just one tournament!
#2 Gerd Muller
Gerd Muller was of great importance for Germany in 1970 and 1974. He managed to score 14 goals in total, helping to hammer home a win against Holland in 74′.
#1 Ronaldo
Another Brazilian and the all time top goal scorer. Ronaldo went a straight stretch from 1994-2006 and managed to 15 goals, scoring 8 of those in 2006. Visit a World Cup 2010 Forum and see how popular he is.
