World Cup Top Goal Scorers - on the Final day

Here we see which World Cup goalscorers are setting the tournament alight, with players given in order of how many they've netted.

Also provided is a look at how many minutes they've spent on the pitch and thus their efficiency rate.

Players are sorted first by goals scored, then (where applicable) assists, then minutes per goal (MPG), then finally surname.


New: As the winner of the Golden Shoe will be decided in case of a goal tie by number of assists, these have been added for the main competitors, i.e. the four most likely to win the title. They are ordered by goals, assists, and MPG, in that order.
