Quiz! Can you name the top active goalscorer for these 40 international sides?

We seem to be living in a rich time for international goalscorers. Witness the fact that the top 12 players in this quiz each have 50 or more national team goals. Remarkable. They can’t all have come against American Samoa.

While a certain Welshman (who we're hoping you'll get pretty quickly) has just become his country's highest ever scorer, the below doesn't even delve into history. Each of these players are the active highest scorers for their country – meaning they’re still playing and available for international football. That rules out international retirees such as Wayne Rooney and his 53 goals.
