	Hristo Stoichkov is the man! He's also the only correct answer I had.

	JohnJF:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 04:32 GMT	4 points
	By getting two, Ronaldo and Gerd Muller, I did better than most. Ah, the joys of doing the association football quizzes before the Europeans get on and destroy me.

	brock:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 05:02 GMT	1 point
	the lack of players winning the boot and also winning the cup in the same year kind of disturbs me, but by all means great quiz. (only got 5)

	fatbeard:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	1 point
	can't remember such a dramatic dropoff from most guessed to second most guessed

	springmom:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 05:12 GMT	4 points
	Ooh, I got one! I'm actually surprised by that. :D

	oldkent:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 06:08 GMT	2 points
	so many of these are hard to spell!

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	0 points
	Psyched I even got a third. 4 of them were layups, dont ask me how I remembered the other 4 I got. Oh and my hats off to anyone who knows the Argentinian from 1930 or the Czechoslovakian from '34..

	pdu:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 08:11 GMT	6 points
	You should really start accepting the correct forms for german umlauts: ä=ae, ö=oe, ü=ue

	Distiller:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 09:24 GMT	1 point
	The 14 I got are also the 14 most guessed. Watching Eurosport's World Cup anthology helped. :)

	Herouk87:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 09:54 GMT	1 point
	i can't believe i spelt Stoichkov right lol. Hard quiz, and i like to think i know a fair bit about football

	R:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 09:57 GMT	0 points
	Mueller must be accepted for Müller.

	FozzieBear:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 10:12 GMT	4 points
	DerKomissar - the reason there aren't more Italians on this list is because they're not really known for goal-scoring. They win World Cups for having the meanest defence. Schillaci was a one-off - an unknown before & after 1990 world cup, who came good and couldn't stop scoring. I think I spelt his name correctly on the 10th attempt.

	indiekid:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 10:54 GMT	1 point
	In any sporcle quiz, there is always one you know but can't spell! Step forward Mr Schillaci

	davebesag:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 12:31 GMT	0 points
	I got 10 but couldn't spell a further three (Kocsis, Schillaci, and Eusébio).

	the_luggage:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 13:33 GMT	0 points
	So much harder than I expected, woot @ getting 5 :D Should of remembered Klose... You have to be crazy to remember most of those older footballers!

	darth_shrimper:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 14:27 GMT	1 point
	Very tough. But very good.

	Kinitawowi:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 14:49 GMT	1 point
	Took me forever to remember how to spell Schillaci. I kept adding another H near the end...

	TeabagYokel:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 14:59 GMT	0 points
	I got 23, Dražan Jerković eluded me! Chile 1962 is hard! Salenko went out in the Group Stage after winning the Golden Boot! BTW, admit it, how many of you guessed some other Ronaldo...

	pr:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 15:12 GMT	2 points
	I am surprised that Garrincha is only the 12th most guessed footballer on this list. Arguably the 2nd best Brasilian ever, some would even say the very best. How do you think Brasil won without Pele? You also see the impression Stoichkov made on American audiences in 1994 as it surprises me that more people got him than Eusebio or Gerd Muller.

	pr:	Jun 8th, 2009 at 15:16 GMT	1 point
	Also, how do you suggest a quiz idea? I have some good footballing ones like Cup Winners Cup Winners, UEFA Cup Winners, Clubs with the most total trophies, all time goalscorers, etc.?

	Most of my guesses ended up in Row Z.

	Isn't it Golden Boot not Golden Shoe?

	juusosieni:	Jun 9th, 2009 at 09:56 GMT	1 point
	I got 9, but missed Müller, Lineker and Garrincha! Actually, I knew Garrincha, but couldn't write it... Only one I got from second row is Lato, I remember him because lato means barn in Finnish.

	TeabagYokel:	Jun 9th, 2009 at 10:53 GMT	1 point
	@Ein Stein It is Golden Shoe nowadays, mainly due to adidas!

	Why was this quiz only updated with Muller for 2010? If I'm right, Diego Forlan, David Villa, and Wesley Sneijder all scored five goals, along with Muller.

	fromzimbabwe:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 03:08 GMT	3 points
	Muller got the Golden Boot because he did the most assists.

	sambo1983:	Nov 19th, 2010 at 12:07 GMT	1 point
	Oleg Salenko - damn you.
