About this quiz

World Cups with a single leading scorer, 1930 to 2026, as FIFA's tournament statistics count goals. Years in which two or more players tied at the top are left out.

  • A player who led the scoring twice appears twice, and either of his tiles fits either year.
  • A wrong join is shown and counted, and the round goes on.
