In the 1986 and 1990 World Cup, Lineker scored 10 times. Lineker scored six to win the Golden Boot in 1986 and four more in 1990 to help Bobby Robson's side reach the semi-finals.
It is good to have ten goals in twelve appearances.
He scored 10 goals in the World Cup. He made the quarter-finals and semi-finals after winning the golden boot.
Lineker doesn't know what he's doing on this list.
The greatest player never to have won the World Cup, the three-time Ballon d'Or winner scored three goals to help the Netherlands reach the 1974 final. The Dutch lost in the final for the second time in 1978 to Argentina.
Richards said that he has to be special.
Shearer said that this was based on their World Cup performances. Lineker's World Cup record puts him ninth, but I don't think he's a better player than he is.
Moore was the captain of the England team that won the 1966 World Cup. The toughest defender he ever faced was Moore.
You hear about how great these players were, when you watch the videos.
At 22 he was the captain of England. I can't believe he was made captain after his 12th cap at the age of 22. The World Cup he won was incredible.
In 1970, Muller scored 10 times to help West Germany to a third-place finish, and in 1974, he scored four times to help the Germans win the World Cup for the first time. Muller played in 13 World Cup tournaments.
Shearer scored 14 goals in 13 World Cup appearances. Wow!
Lineker said he was likeSergio Aguero, a penalty area player. Muller said the goal that won the World Cup typified him. He was a really good player. His numbers are close to the top. Muller was my international hero.
West Germany defeated the Netherlands in the 1974 World Cup final to win the title. One of only three men to have won the World Cup as a player and a manager is Beckenbauer.
The original sweeper was the Lineker.
He scored twice in the final to help France win their first World Cup. He was back to his best in Germany four years later, inspiring Raymond Domenech's side to the final, where he scored and was ejected for headbutting Italy's Marco Materazzi.
He was one of the best.
Shearer was the best player he ever faced. He was amazing.
Matthaus captained West Germany to victory at Italia '90, defeating Argentina in the final. Matthaus has played in five World Cup and has the record for most matches played with 25.
He won one of the World Cup.
Shearer played in five World Cup. When I played against him at the 2000 Euros, we beat them by a single goal. A great player.
In 1994 and 2002 he lifted the trophy again. He scored four times to help Brazil reach the 1998 final, even though he wasn't in the starting lineup. Four years later, Brazil reclaimed their status as the world's number one team, thanks to the eight goals scored byRonaldo in the final against Germany.
We have talked about him a lot. The word Braziliance is derived from the Latin word Braziliance. I had him second because of his 19 appearances and 15 goals.
The Argentine captained his country's second World Cup in 1986 and played in four World Cup. The 'Hand of God' goal that Maradona scored against England in the quarter-finals is one of the tournament's great strikes. Diego Maradona's World Cup playing career ended in disgrace in 1994 when he failed a drug test and was sent home.
There was a debate between Brazil and Argentina about who was the best.
When he helped Brazil win the World Cup in Sweden, he was just 17 years old. The Golden Ball for the best player at the World Cup was won by the legend. In the World Cup, he scored 12 goals.
The winner has to be the man.
Shearer cannot imagine coming from Brazil at that age. They are expected to win every tournament and every match. The player is really good.
