12 days to go

It must be a great feeling to score at a World Cup, although it must be quite surreal to score at World Cups 12 years apart.

Pele (1958-70), Uwe Seeler (1958-70), Diego Maradona (1982-94), Michael Laudrup (1986-98), Henrik Larsson (1994-06) and Sami Al-Jaber (1994-06) have all managed to achieve this incredible feat and it is unlikely it will ever be improved upon.

There are no Englishmen on the list, although David Beckham would have had the chance if injury had not intervened this year, and it would be great to think Wayne Rooney might add his name to this elite group were he to score at the 2018 World Cup...preferably on home soil!
