These are Oranje's Goalscorers at the World Cup

The Netherlands national team faced considerable criticism regarding their squad selection ahead of the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The attacking lineup, in particular, drew fire from Dutch football enthusiasts. However, Oranje has defied expectations in the group stage, netting an impressive seven goals in their first two matches. Against Tunisia, they scored twice within seven minutes. A notable detail: all-time top scorer Memphis Depay has seen only limited minutes on the pitch.

Cody Gakpo still has a chance to become the Netherlands' all-time leading scorer in European Championships and World Cups. The 27-year-old Liverpool forward has eight goals in fourteen tournament matches, matching the tallies of Patrick Kluivert, Johnny Rep, and Wesley Sneijder. Only Robin van Persie (9) and record holder Dennis Bergkamp (10) have scored more for the Dutch national team in major tournaments.
