    Most Goals in World Cup History

    From 1930 to the present, the World Cup has been held so many times, have you ever asked yourself who has scored the most goals in the World Cup? Or have you ever asked who has the most goals in football history? Since French player Lucien Laurent scored his first goal at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, more than 1,250 footballers have scored at the World Cup.

    I would have liked to sum up the best goalscorers. However, I have to admit that trying to figure out who is the greatest goal scorer of all time is a particularly tricky question, because answering that question I'm going to be subjective. To avoid any uncertainty, our article focuses on player goals.
