Hello, for your information, under age competition goals don't count. The goals that are counted are goals for super eagles (senior team)
Ok.
Thanks.

Osimhen will hit 100 goals for Nigeria if he is injury free and if Nigeria plays more games. He is still very young.

Meanwhile, where is the name of the most celebrated Kanu Nwankwo and J J Okocha on the list?
JJ had 15 goals so just below Musa. Always remember that he did this while running the midfield and no other midfielder is ahead of him in goals scored.

WINDSOW:
I think the yardstick isn't accurate.
It should also be measured alongside the number of matches played too.

For example:
If I play 10 matches and score a total of 57 goals compared to someone who played 38 matches and scored 63 goals, please who's is the GOAT 🐐?
So check and do the computation for yourself.


Spoiler alert: Osimhen has played less games.

All time goals scorers in some African countries

1. Godfrey Chitalu. Zambia. 79. Goals. In 111

2. Hossam Hassan. Egypt 69. Goals in 177. Games

3. Didier Drogba. 65 goals in 105 games

4. Samuel Eto'o Fils 56 goals. In 118 games

5. Asamoah Gyan Ghana 51 goals. In 109 games

6. Rashidi. Yekini. Nigéria. 37 goals in 62 games







Victor Osimhen has certainly got a lot to do.

It's about the highest goal scorer.
Number of games scored in is secondary.
If I score 30 goals in 38 EPL games ,I'm still the highest scorer compared to you that scored 25 in 25..
You're illogical.
There are other derivatives that makes up an entity.
Highest Goal Scorer is directly proportional to number of matches played and goals.
Solve the equation.

You are the one being illogical and emotional..
Ronaldo that's claiming the highest scorer in history,does he have a better goals ratio than a Messi or Van Bastin?
There are a million and one derivatives that makes up an entity,true.
Today,the equation is about who scored the highest amount of goals.
If you want to talk about goals per game ratios,then you are free to open another dedicated thread.

JediJedi, standards are made, raised and re-standardised. I can criticise any postulated rule as long as I can defend it empirically. I will take my opinion in writing to the football governing body of the world.
Trust me!!!

Only injury can stop him.

He might even score further 6goals in our remaining 5 WC matches.
Then there is AFCON next year...
12 goals is a lot in international football. Last Afcon for example, how many goals did Osimhen score? I'm not sure.
