I guess they're the top scorers in the World Cup history, I saw few of them play, Christian Vieri, Miroslav Klose, Gabriel Batistuta and Ronaldo.
In the last worldcup I found out about Just Fontaine who scored 13 goals in only one WorldCup, which is amazing, unfortunately he got injured and he couldn't play no more. Just imagine if he played another WorldCup, he might now be the top scorer.
Nice information by the way.
Chers!
