Miroslav Klose holds the all-time record for most goals scored in World Cup tournaments—16 across four editions (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014). His consistency and knack for scoring big goals made him Germany’s go-to striker for over a decade. However, while he owns the cumulative record, Klose never scored more than five goals in a single tournament. The record for most goals in a single World Cup belongs to a player who had an explosive run in just one edition of the tournament.
