Most goals all-time at the World Cup Whi

Scoring a goal at the World Cup is amongst the highest achievements a footballer can complete during their career.Whether it's a scuffed finish from six yards out or a stunning volley from 30, every goal holds a special place in World Cup history.But which player has scored the most Ryan Strome Women Jersey goals at a single World Cup or which nation has scored the most competition goals in history? After playing in four different World Cup editions, Germany's Miroslav Klose currently holds the record for most goals scored in the competition's history.The deadly striker scored 16 times acro s the 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014 tournaments combined, at an average of 0.67 goals per game. Somewhat as a result of his scoring prowe s, Germany lifted the trophy in 2014 with the help of Klose.

Brazil's legendary striker Ronaldo remains their top scorer at World Cup finals, scoring a total of 15 goals acro s the 1998, 2002 and 2006 editions.At the other end of the pitch, Germany hold the dubious honour of conceding the most goals in World Cup history. To this point,Die Mannschaft have let in a total of 125 goals acro s 19 tournaments. One of the most gifted finishers in football history, France's Just Fontaine currently holds the record for scoring the most goals in a single edition of the World Cup.The famous Reims and Nice forward Anze Kopitar Youth Jersey netted a staggering 13 strikes during the 1958 World Cup that was held in Sweden for the first and only time.His goalscoring started with a famous hat trick in a 7 Jason Spezza Jersey -3 demolition of Paraguay in his nation's opening group stage match and finished in a 5-2 semi-final lo s to Brazil.Even more remarkably, the 1958 World Cup was the only edition of the famous competition in which Fontaine played owing to his early retirement from the sport at the age of just 28. The 1954 World Cup in Switzerland proved to be one of the most exciting to date as a whopping 5.38 goals were scored on average per match during the tournament.As a result, the record for most goals scored in a single tournament by a nation came during that edition when Hungary netted a barely believable 27 goals in just five matches.The European side started their campaign by recording a mammoth 9-0 victory over South Korea before they then beat West Germany 8-3 in their following outing.Ferenc Pusks co then put four past both Brazil and Uruguay to reach the final but ironically lost out 3-2 to West Germany in the showpiece event.The 1954 World Cup also saw South Korea concede 16 times, the record amount by any nation in a single tournament. What's even worse is that the Asian nation played just twice due to the competition's old format! Over the 22 editions of the FIFA World Cup, 2720 goals have been scored acro s acro s 964 games. In Qatar, there were 172 in total.That works out at an average of 2.82 strikes per game throughout the history of the competition.
