Scoring goals is not usually easy. Even less do with the national team where even get called is a dream of many. However, A number of men who have no fear of the rival goalie and see door with ease. They are the top scorers of the different national teams in official matches (we leave out the friendly matches).

Currently, there is a select group made up of 40 men who have managed to overcome the barrier of 50 so many officials with their national team. The eternal Ali Daei is the footballer who has officially scored the most goals defending the flag of his nation with 109 targets in 149 parties. The Iranian surpasses illustrious names like Puskas on the list (84) and Kamamoto (80).

In a classification where Pelé is fifth with 77 goals, Romario 25º with 55 or Müller twelfth with 69 many, highlights the presence of several of the best strikers who will participate in Brazil. Of course, all of them veterans but who will play an important role in many teams.

The most famous case is that of Miroslav Klose who owns 69 goals in 132 matches and you are only one away from accessing the Top 10 from this list. Klose is present, but also David Villa who has 58 official goals with Spain or Didier Drogba, that treasures 65 with Ivory Coast. Eto’o and Donovan cannot be absent from a list, the presence of midfielders is very limited and where legends like Batistuta and Ronaldo appear. The best of the best, and best, the superior.
