1. Miroslav Klose – Most Goals in World Cup History

German striker Miroslav Klose has the record for the most goals in world cup history with 16 goals. He achieved this feat across four world cups from 2002 to 2014. He surpassed Ronaldo Nazario’s record of 15 goals.

What makes the record even crazier is Klose’s consistency. He never relied on one extraordinary tournament but delivered in every World Cup he played. His final goal came during Germany’s iconic 7-1 win over Brazil in the 2014 semifinals.
