A Chetri appears in the wild.

[-] DontCareBuddyThanks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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

[-] TirtleLord178@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] fijozico@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

Chhetri casually pulling in the goat debate

[-] Rohitwar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Goat of international football un-ironically

[-] jaguass@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Qazaca@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ali Mabkhout is lethal.

[-] goodgriefmyqueef@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn who’s the Indian man?

[-] Muppy_N2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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

[-] atwerrrk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At the same time you can lose half your games and still qualify which you could obviously never do in UEFA.

[-] esridiculo@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

UEFA is great for International stat padding.

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

[-] Bukmeikara@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Rabgin@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] luffy565@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

See how easy that is...

[-] Chanta_Argentino@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Panama is ranked higher than half of UEFA.

[-] 7X1r0Xndr35@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] SaWaGaAz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

And Salah scored 4 just a couple of days ago

[-] dimyo@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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.

[-] Technical-Leopard-90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chettri shouldn't have been born in India( coming from an Indian)

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

[-] Bifito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[-] Silkkipaskaa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Top5 without friendlies included:

Ronaldo 108

Chhetri 64

Lewandowski 62

[-] Torimas@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now make a list removing matches vs FIFA rank 80+

[-] mild_animal@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

108 vs 64 next. Quite the big game player.

Bit unfair on south american nationals tbf

[-] cuentanueva@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] car714c@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[-] juamtrix@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] MentalJack@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lukakus numbers are actually mad ngl

[-] b1gCubanC1gar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] FyodorMusic@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] themisfitresident@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[-] PM_ME_Y0UR_BOOBZ@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[-] Syc254@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Put some respek on Lukaku's name.

[-] HotPotatoWithCheese@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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