Klose-ing in on Klinsmann
Afp, Berlin
Germany striker Miroslav Klose now stands seventh in the all-time World Cup goalscorer list with ten after scoring a vital equaliser that helped the hosts go on to win Friday's quarterfinal with Argentina 4-2 on penalties.Polish-born forward Klose levelled the score in the 80th minute at 1-1 to take his tournament tally to five -- the same number he scored at the 2002 World Cup. The 28-year-old Klose moves above Portugal icon Eusebio -- who scored all his nine in the 1966 edition -- and Italy's Paolo Rossi in the all-time list and now stands alongside West Germany's 1954 World Cup hero Helmut Rahn. Klose's coach Jurgen Klinsmann, a World Cup winner with West Germany in 1990, is his next target with 11, heading into Tuesday's semifinal with Italy. Brazilian striker Ronaldo leads the World Cup goalscoring charts with 15 having overtaken yet another German Gerd Muller when he scored in the 3-0 victory over Ghana in the second round.
