World Cup goals. The one thing every soccer fan craves. We all have our personal favorites, whether it's Diego Maradona's iconic strike against England in 1986, Carlos Alberto's finish for Brazil against Italy in 1970, or James Rodríguez's stunning effort for Colombia versus Uruguay in 2014.

Many of us can also rattle off the names of the greatest individual scorers in World Cup history, with Germany's Miroslav Klose and Gerd Müller, along with Brazil's Ronaldo, among the most frequently mentioned.
