FIFA World Cup goalscorers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
This article lists every country's goalscorers in FIFA World Cup finals matches.

The scorers of many goals in FIFA World Cup history are disputed. For details, consult FIFA World Cup goals with disputed scorers. For the 2006 tournament, the official FIFA match reports are taken as truth. In earlier tournaments, FIFA match reports are known to be inaccurate, so Cris Freddi's book Complete Book of the World Cup 2006 is used as the most accurate known reference.

For a list of goalscorers with at least five FIFA World Cup goals, see FIFA World Cup records#List of overall top goalscorers.
