    Suker scored about 10 more goals following his top scorer performance in the 1998 World Cup.

        He scored too after the 90 WC.

        Is it Mario Kempes?!

              I'll pass because I kinda cheated by looking up and confirming the person I thought the answer was.

                It's okay KC, research to gain knowledge is just as good as having had that knowledge in the 1st place!

                I don't think that was an easy thing to look up, was it?!

                  It kinda was since I already had an idea who it was and didn't have to do a blind search on everyone.

                      No, he played for quite a few years for Portugal both before and after the 66 WC.

                      This guy never played for his country before the WC in which he won the top-scorer and never again - a very unique and strange phenomenon. There is one more player who never scored before or after being the top-scorer in a WC, but he did play outside the WC.

                          Name a player who has 5 World Cup gold medals.
                          What coach has faced the same opponent in the World Cup 3 times while coaching 3 different teams? Also what is the country he faced?

                            Was my answer to the last question correct?
                            And this question is very difficult. Are you counting Club World Cup as well? I know Franz Beckenbauer has 5 World Cup medals, 3 as a player and 2 as a manager, but only two of them were gold.

                              Salenko did not score after the World Cup but he didn't play in the next one either. Someone already mentioned the correct answer.
                              I'm not counting club World Cup medals. I'm only counting Gold medals for the World Cup.

                                Carlos Alberto Parreira was the coach (1982, 1998 and 2006) and the country was France.
