World Cup 2010 : Who are the top scorers to watch out for

The World Cup is around the corner and we look back over the qualifications to see who were the top scorers during the qualification, the players from each country we should keep and eye on next summer.

Surprising one of the joint top scorers is Greece's Theofanis Geka, suprising because in recent years Greece has thrived on a very defensive game. Also sharing the top scorer accolade is Chile's Humberto Suazo who had 18 matches to notch up his 10 goals, thanks to the Marathon South American qualification system.

Japan, Algeria and Mexico would all do well to use the six month upto the World Cup to produce more consistent strikers.
