The above Table: scoring data for each individual W.C. player,
independently of the number of World Cups in which these goals were scored.
(Updated at the closing of the 2006 World Cup Quarter-Finals)
Please Note: FIFA's 2006 World Cup Media Guide as released on June 11, 2006,
has incorrectly assigned 13 World Cup goals, instead of the 12 which he then had on his tally!
(In the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo has matched Gerd Müller's record of 14 goals.)
Please see this eBook's page Top World Cup Brazilian Scorers, for
Ronaldo's accurate goal statistics per World Cup, for details.
Data detail mix-ups, such as just sorted out, above, are
not foreign to FIFA's sites (official or Yahoo-sponsored).
See reference to a couple of other such instances, on eBook
pages Final Match+details and Getting it right (related data table
on the latter is available on eBook page 2006 WC Players' Sources).
