399.0. "WC total top scorer?" by BCFI::LIDEN () Fri Jun 17 1994 18:42

      Hi Soccer Gurus,
      
      In a Swedish Newspaper there is a Soccer WC history Quiz.
      
      I need help with one of the questions.
      
      Q. Who has scored most goals in the history of WC?
      
      a. Gerd M�ller
      b. Pel�
      c. Uwe Seeler
      d. Juste Fontaine
      
      I guess it is M�ller as he scored 10 goals in 1970 and 1 in the final 74 
      and I think he scored 1 against Sweden in the second round group the same 
      year. Probably he scored a few more 74, but I don't know how many.
      
      I know that Fontaine scored 13 goals in 1958 and I do not think he played 
      any more WCs. 
      
      Pel� was injured early 1962 & 1966, so I don't believe he is the top 
      scorer.
      
      I don't know much about Seeler's scoring.
        
      Anyone who can help me? (Jemand der mir helfen k�nnen?)
      
      Ta in advance,

      P.S. Is there any Barca note? �Hay una noticia de Barca?

399.1Muller with 10-4XSTACY::JDUGGANFri Jun 17 1994 19:4916
    Hi,
    
    Gerd Muller (Der Bomber) has 14 (10 in Mexico, 4 in Germany)
    so he is the top-scorer.
    
    He beat the record held by Fontaine (13) who got all of his
    in Sweden'58 (they got to the semi-finals).
    
    Other top scorers include: '74 Lato (Poland) with 7
                               '78 Kempes (Arg)  with 6
                               '82 Rossi ???
                               '86 Lineker
    
    As far as I know these answers are correct!

399.2speaking of scorers....ESSB::BREEMon Jun 20 1994 16:466
    Who is the guy who is shown getting his hat trick in the McDonalds ad 
    for the triple burger? Is that Lato or is it Boniek?  Is the game a
    3rd/4th place match against Russia from a WC of way back?
    
    
    Curious of the Seventies.
399.3YESSB::MCUNNIFFEI am the best footballer in DEC by a long wayMon Jun 20 1994 20:587

Paul,
      Zbigniew Boniek was the player. I think it was one of the group games
against either Belgium or Russia.

    I reckon as Sweden and Cameroon look a bit dodgy at the back, Romario
    is a pretty good bet for the golden boot.

399.5AYOV20::MRENNISONWaiting for hell to freeze overWed Jun 22 1994 13:277
    
    After last night's performance, I reckon Batistuta may be top scorer
    this time round.  I believe his international record is 22 goals in 33
    games.  Not bad at all.

399.6SUBURB::ABSOLOMTDillydallying and shillyshallyingWed Jun 22 1994 15:167
    
    I grudgingly agree. Anyone who gets 5-6 in the first round is a good
    bet.

399.7ELIS::BOERENI aim to please. Then I fire!Fri Jun 24 1994 16:516
    Talking about records (22 in 33), Van Vossen (Holland) hasn't played
    that many games yet, but is always used as a substitute, and has a
    record of (I could be wrong) 13 played, 11 scored, or something close
    to that.

rep -1

yep correct and Holland has never lost a game when he played so let's hope 
Dickie plays him a lot!


399.9SUBURB::ABSOLOMTLet them eat fishThu Jul 14 1994 14:589
    
    I'm outraged dagnamit. Any goals scored in the 3/4 play-off count
    towards the Golden Boot award. This is a disgrace! If you are, you are
    out. If a Stoichkov goal denies me money, well, I'll be blooming ticked
    off.

    What kind of cretins put a French ref in charge of that match ?????
    
    
    fair point if you ask me.

    It always has.....check the 3rd/4th Place in the 1958 and check out the
    records it affected !!!!
    
    Dezzz.
