#2 Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima / 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006
Brazilian Ronaldo, the nation's second highest goalscorer behind Pelé, was a member of a World Cup squad four times but played in three tournaments. The fantastic striker was able to score in the three competitions he played in and won a championship with Brazil in 2002 while scoring a World Cup-leading eight goals.
Ronaldo was fantastic for Brazil during their runner-up effort in France in 1998. However, he could not play a significant role in the final versus France after many circumstances surrounded him in the hours prior to the game.
In 2002, after his horror knee injuries, he was called up to Luiz Felipe Scolari's team to play the tournament. Ronaldo scored goals in six of Brazil's seven matches, including a goal against Turkey in the semifinals and a brace versus Germany and Oliver Kahn in the deciding game.
His eight goals in 2002 equaled Brazil's record for most goals by a player in a single World Cup, after Ademir in 1950. In addition to that feat, Ronaldo matched Pelé's goal tally for most by a player in World Cup history with 12 (Ronaldo scored four in 1998).
Germany 2006 wasn't Ronaldo's best World Cup, mainly because of his physical form. However, the Brazilian scored a brace against Japan to tie Gerd Müller's 14 goals in the World Cup, and then, scored the then-record fifteenth goal in the round-of-sixteen versus Ghana. Ronaldo's last game for Brazil in a World Cup was the 1-0 defeat against France in the quarterfinals.
Ronaldo played 19 World Cup matches and scored a goal in eleven (four braces).
