I should note that many of these stats were gathered from wikipedia because, although I searched for a few days, I was unable to find quality, comprehensive, up-to-date, international goal stats anywhere. Can anyone point me to a good site for international caps and goals information? Thanks in advance.
yasser is the best; for sure.
