text: whose record has ronaldo broken in the number of goals scored in worldcups?   there's a lot of confusion here. pele did not hold the record, gerd muller did with 14, from west germany and ronaldo has broken that by scoring 15. i think it was pele that had 13, but not 14! the records so far have been made on german soil... so i think the next time anyone will top it, they'll be in germany :p
