Didier just passed, mainly my own handiwork, but this one I picked up and ran with. Spain have been a dominant force in world football, so be able to claim to be the top scorer for such a nation makes you ultimate class, David Villa is one such individual. While his latter career has somewhat stumbled to a halt, he has been a goal machine, and this list reflects that. As ever, I offer my utmost thanks to all of you who have the time and energy to comment on the list, and I offer my usual promise that I'll get to each and every comment as soon as I possibly can.

*"He scored his first international goal on his fifth appearance for Spain" Table says this happened in cap #4? In the result column, the 10-0 entries do not seem to sort correctly. Courcelles (talk) 23:02, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply] Courcelles thanks for your comments, I believe I've addressed them both? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:09, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply] Actually, you might need to go over the results section more carefully than I originally thought, the 2-0 and 2-1's for example, sort interspersed instead of separated. Courcelles (talk) 23:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply] Courcelles trick of the trade deployed. Is it okay now? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:17, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Everything looks fine now. Courcelles (talk) 23:36, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks fine to me. Akocsg (talk) 17:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List looks fine. Has Villa ever scored directly from a freekick? Intro could state that Spain only lost twice when Villa scored, and that six of his goals were penalty kicks. Also, Villa scored in the shootouts vs Italy in 2008. Nergaal (talk) 15:09, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know about direct free kicks, that kind of thing isn't usually notable in any way. And penalties during shootouts are not considered as "goals" in this sense. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
