Neymar

While he might be the brunt of many jokes thanks to his over-exaggeration of injury on the pitch at the 2018 World Cup, Neymar is rightfully on our list. The Brazilian has bagged 57 goals in 89 matches for his country since his debut at 18. He has participated in the 2014 and 2018 World Cup so far.

Alan Shearer

This classic English center forward was key in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups even if England didn’t qualify and were knocked out round 16. Thanks to his time with Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United, Shearer is the Premier League’ highest goalscorer.
