A Chetri appears in the wild.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

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.

Chhetri casually pulling in the goat debate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

The Goat of international football un-ironically

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ali Mabkhout is lethal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Damn who’s the Indian man?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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

See how easy that is...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Panama is ranked higher than half of UEFA.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

And Salah scored 4 just a couple of days ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Top5 without friendlies included:

Ronaldo 108

Chhetri 64

Lewandowski 62

Messi 57

Lukaku 56

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Now make a list removing matches vs FIFA rank 80+

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

108 vs 64 next. Quite the big game player.

Bit unfair on south american nationals tbf

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Lukakus numbers are actually mad ngl

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Put some respek on Lukaku's name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months 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.
