Are this official games?

[–] FyodorMusic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why is Ali Daei not on here…? He’s scored 109 for Iran and was #1 in intl goals until Ronaldo displaced him.

Chhetri casually pulling in the goat debate

[–] Rohitwar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Goat of international football un-ironically

[–] b1gCubanC1gar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why since 2000? So Iranian Ali Daei can be dropped form the list?

[–] DontCareBuddyThanks@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The amount of goals C. Ronaldo (and many european players) have on "small islands and states" is crazy though. Some dudes are literally dentists, butchers and gardeners hahahaa

[–] kakje666@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

that argument can be made for ever single federation , every continent has countries that get easily beat by everyone

[–] Qazaca@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ali Mabkhout is lethal.

I swear Kaz Miura was in the top 10. Am I tripping or nah?

His last appearance for the Japanese national team was aged 33 in 2000. This graphic only includes goals since 2000.

[–] mg10pp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's crazy he retired so early with Japan, considering that he is still playing...

Maybe not the best comparison but a bit like Maldini retiring with Italy 7 years earlier than with Milan and missing the World Cup win

[–] jaguass@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Indian football barely makes the news, I can't name a player, and yet this stat exists. Wtf.

[–] doktor-frequentist@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A Chetri appears in the wild.

[–] Worthyworth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Lukaku's stats are insane when you know he has been playing in Belgian national team since 2010.

[–] Rabgin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

wished he was in group J , he would've probably scored like 15-20 goals

[–] Bukmeikara@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And he is just 30, could easily score another 30 goals if he plays till 35

Ronaldo score to Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, San marino, Gibraltar...

[–] luffy565@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Messi score to Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Curacao

See how easy that is...

[–] 7X1r0Xndr35@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Friendly matches don't count, Ronaldo did it in oficcial matches .

Suarez, Neymar and Messi are among the 8 South American players in history to reach 50 international goals.

Counting active players, Cavani is another one.

Tells you about how a massive feat that is in the region.

[–] sincethelasttime@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Qualifying for the tournaments is easier overall for the big South American teams because they are much better than the weaker teams over the course of many games, but there is no comparison between the actual difficulty of the games. Weak South American teams are still incredibly difficult to beat. There isn't a single easy game in CONMEBOL

[–] esridiculo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It's not like we have a Gibraltar or Malta or St Vincent and the Grenadines or Puerto Rico.

[–] GGABueno@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

UEFA is great for International stat padding.

[–] patiperro_v3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pre-1990's I'd say Venezuela would have been THAT team. But today's Venezuela is scoring bicycle kick goals in Brazil and getting out of there with a point. I believe football is catching up to, if not surpassing, baseball in popularity for the first time.

With the expansion they will most likely make it to the next World Cup. Should be amazing to see those players singing the national anthem of their country for the first time in a World Cup.

Hope Lucho Suárez can reach 70 on his next (and supposedly last game with Uruguay) against Bolivia

[–] SaWaGaAz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Since there is no player from any African nations that made it, here's a few African footballers with the most international goals since 2000:

  1. Didier Drogba - 65 goals in 105 matches

  2. Samuel Eto'o - 56 goals in 118 matches

  3. Mohamed Salah - 55 goals in 94 matches

  4. Asamoah Gyan - 51 goals in 109 matches

  5. Islam Slimani - 44 goals in 96 matches

For Oceania (including Australia):

  1. Tim Cahill - 50 goals in 108 matches

  2. Roy Krishna - 35 goals in 49 matches

  3. Chris Wood - 34 goals in 73 matches

  4. Commins Menapi - 34 goals in 37 matches

[–] mg10pp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And Salah scored 4 just a couple of days ago

[–] dimyo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It looks really hard to score in African international matches.

All the recent African Cup of Nations tournaments had 2 goals per game or fewer. Compared to the 2.7 average of the world cups.

[–] goodgriefmyqueef@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Damn who’s the Indian man?

chetri 🩵

[–] Singh255@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

My (indian) boy Chhettri in there! Get in there lad!

[–] Silkkipaskaa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Top5 without friendlies included:

Ronaldo 108

Chhetri 64

Lewandowski 62

Messi 57

Lukaku 56

[–] mild_animal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

108 vs 64 next. Quite the big game player.

Bit unfair on south american nationals tbf

[–] cuentanueva@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, surely those 'competitive' goals against San Marino, Gibraltar, etc are worth more than friendlies against Brazil, France, etc.

The Germans may not be the top scorers but they came pretty Klose

[–] MentalJack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lukakus numbers are actually mad ngl

[–] car714c@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lewandowski is super impressive since Poland as a team is not that quality

[–] 5599Nalyd@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can only think of like 5 other Polish players that were actually class over the last decade. It's kinda surprising how mid they are.

Do Chelsea fans know there’s a post with positive stats about Lukaku?

[–] themisfitresident@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If India isn't playing WC during Chethri's time, then when?

[–] Syc254@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Put some respek on Lukaku's name.

[–] HotPotatoWithCheese@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These lists always just boil down to Messi and Ronaldo fans arguing over who is the GOAT. The most boring discussion in football.
