The best international strike rates revealed
Philippine football team's PYH is in good company.
Sportsmail takes a look at the players with the best international records.
...we've only taken the top goalscorer per country.19. Dimitar Berbatov (Bulgaria)Games: 78
Goals: 48
Ratio: 0.62
A smooth operator - as supporters of Tottenham, Manchester United and Fulham will testify - Berbatov was Bulgaria's linchpin for the best part of a decade before retiring from international football in 2010.
15. Didier Droba (Ivory Coast)Games: 96
Goals: 61
Ratio: 0.64
Not an awful lot needs saying about Drogba, whose own jump to stardom mirrored that of the national side. They have become the most feared African side with the former Chelsea man up front.
13. Phil Younghusband (Philippines)Games: 50
Goals: 33
Ratio: 0.66
A graduate of the Chelsea academy, the English-born Younghusband moved abroad and continued to bang in the goals for the Philippines.
6. Pele (Brazil)Games: 92
Goals: 77
Ratio: 0.84
The best player ever to have lived.
Winner of three World Cups - carrying Brazil at times during the 1958 and 1970 triumphs - and will forever be a footballing icon.
And the man with the best strike rate of all time is...
1. Poul Nielsen (Denmark)Games: 38
Goals: 52
Ratio: 1.37
An astonishing record at the beginning of the 20th century, Nielsen retired five years before the World Cup's introduction. But his goalscoring record remains, with Jon Dahl Tomasson the only Dane matching the 52 netted. Tomasson, however, did that in 112 games.
