Jun 23, 10:37 PM

Fifteen players have scored for England across the past four men's World Cups. Can you name them all?

Since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, fifteen different players have scored goals for England across four tournaments. From the group-stage exit in 2014 to the semi-final run in 2018 and the quarter-final finish in 2022, the list of scorers reflects the team's evolution and key moments. At the 2014 World Cup, England failed to advance past the group stage, but two players found the net. Daniel Sturridge scored a fine equalizer against Italy, while Wayne Rooney finally ended his World Cup drought with a goal against Uruguay. However, Luis Suárez's brace condemned England to defeat, and the tournament ended in disappointment. The 2018 World Cup in Russia marked a resurgence for England, who reached the semi-finals. Harry Kane led the charge with six goals, winning the Golden Boot. His strikes included a brace against Tunisia, a hat-trick against Panama, and a penalty against Colombia. Other scorers included Harry Maguire, Dele Alli, Jesse Lingard, Kieran Trippier, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Trippier's free-kick against Croatia was a standout moment. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, England again reached the quarter-finals. Kane scored twice, including a goal against Senegal. Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, and Jude Bellingham also got on the scoresheet. Bellingham became the third-youngest English scorer in World Cup history with his goal against Iran. Among these fifteen players, Kane is the only one to have scored in three different World Cups. His total of 12 World Cup goals surpasses Gary Lineker's 10 and Wayne Rooney's 1, making him England's all-time leading scorer in the tournament. Maguire and Sterling have also scored in two consecutive World Cups, showcasing consistency. This list also highlights England's tactical shift: from relying on Rooney and Sturridge in 2014, to Kane's focal role in 2018, to a more distributed scoring threat in 2022. The emergence of young talents like Bellingham and Saka bodes well for the future. Now, the challenge: can you name all fifteen goalscorers? Test your knowledge of England's World Cup history and see if you can complete the list.
