I got Pele and Messi... then got Muller only because I was guessing common surnames. I missed Maradona by one "a", and missed Donovan because scanning the list of countries I didn't see the USA was on the list. Never heard of all but 4 of these guys.
I know that I don't. The amount of time/energy I spend on this site bragging or trying to impress anyone is inversely proportional to the amount of time/energy people here seem to think I spend on these things.
though none of these players are british champions league winners: http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/116507/uefa-champions-league-winning-british-footballers
I know but I am waiting until Cristiano Ronaldo beats the record of Raul at Real Madrid in order to change his and England's entry simultaneously. Only a few weeks left I guess...
You ought to learn about the history of the game you think you know so much about then... The game has been called soccer since the 19th century, and was just as common a word in Britain for the game as the name "football" for most of the 20th century. Many of the game's top players had the word "soccer" in the title of their autobiographies (e.g. George Best). Watch some old Pathe news videos of matches - the word "soccer" is used a lot.
That one does stick out like a sore thumb. The rest all ‘big’ European clubs and or very famous players. Whilst Napoli are a decent side and Mertens is a great player, both are probably a level below everyone else on the list.
Though having looked at some other big clubs, AC Milan and Ajax etc, it looks like their too scorers are less well known.
Napoli used to be on that quiz for the very easy Diego guess.
Now it's a little bit more interesting for the sake of the quiz, but Diego pretty much flooded the newsreel when Dries got the record over Hamšík, as he adores him, so a lot of soccer fans have heard about this.

Yeah, I agree with Niels. "Ibra" is not even a nickname, but rather a shorter version of his family name (not a very common one according to my experience) and shouldn't be accepted!
According to FC Barcelona's page in Wikipedia Lionel Messi scores 672 goals for the club and that is correct with official Barca statistics so there is a mistake in your quiz.
I know this is only recently but olivier giroud just passed thierry henry for france. I assume this will be changed after the world cup or if and when France get knocked out
10/24, not bad for living in the USA for 25+ years now, and aside from world cups with no exposure to real football.
Oh and for those hating on Marta being included here, yeah, I got that one too because there is so much smoke being blown up the USWNT here stateside that she's actually got more name recognition here aside from maybe Pele, Messi, Ronaldo and maybe Mbappe.

His name is Ibrahimovic.
We're also not calling Benzema 'Benze', right?
Great quiz
Her 189 international goals (at the time of writing) is the record for both women and men.
