Ronaldo scored 62 goals in 98 appearances for Brazil. He is Brazil’s third highest goal scorer, behind Neymar and Pelé. Ronaldo scored 15 goals in three editions of the FIFA World Cup—4 in 1998, 8 in 2002, and 3 in 2006—a tournament record that stood until 2014, when it was broken by Germany’s Miroslav Klose.
