Miroslav Klose is now the leading World Cup goalscorer in history after netting during Germany's humiliation of Brazil. But the 36-year-old striker had better enjoy the feeling while it lasts, because he might not hold the title for too long. In fact, Klose might not even be the top-scoring German at World Cups by the end of Russia 2018. Unless the Polish-born hotshot finds the net in Sunday's final, he is unlikely to add to his 16 strikes so far. But Thomas Muller already has that total in his sights. Germany coach Joachim Low praised Klose after the match but immediately tipped Muller to set a new record. 'It really means a lot to all of us,' said Low. 'This is a record that could be beaten only by Muller.'
