Ali Daei is a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I remember the big announcements in the newspapers, when Bayern signed the “WELTTORJÄGER”. Gives me flashbacks to that Bayern team with the likes of Kahn, Matthäus, Lizarazu, Effenberg, Scholl, Basler, Elber at the end of the 90s.
Cristiano Ronaldo is aging like a fine wine 🍷
Puskas 0.94 goals per game is insane not even Messi or Ronaldo are averaging that much internationally
Haaland is though.
Chitalu’s and Dahari’s deaths are both very sad. Chitalu died at 45 on 27th April 1993 when a plane carrying the Zambian national team crashed in the ocean, 30 people total died. Dahari was diagnosed with motor neurone disease and died 3 years later of muscular dystrophy at age 37 on 11th July 1991.
Mokhtar is his given name
Puskas was a beast, look at that ratio.
Commenting here just to mention our nation’s hero name Mokhtar Dahari the supermokh!
Shared a pitch with Maradona once. Pretty insane to imagine that, for us now.
Ronaldo and Lewandowsky have like 200+ international goals each but not even two at the World Cup. Flat track merchants.
Ronaldo alone scored 3 goals against Spain in the 2018 World Cup.
Chhetri my Goat
I hope ali mabkhout becomes in the top 5,
Super Mokh!
I do think international goals hold less weight these days, due to the amount of games played. Especially European nations playing the likes of San Marino, Luxembourg, Andorra etc more often.
Ronaldo will be substituted in to taken penalties in his 60s.
205 caps is mad, that record will probably stay for a loong time. (if it is a record, im not sure but you’d think it is)
He was going toe to toe with a player from Kuwait I think, but seems the latter slowed down.
EDIT: his name is Bader Al-Mutawa and he has 196 caps but the last was in June 2022, probably won’t reach Ronaldo.
I don’t know why, but is there a problem in CAF? How come we don’t have prolific goal scorers?
Proof that this state doesn’t mean anything about actual quality
