Not sure how accurate this is but here are the clues. No Googling you s. The country is the team they played for Internationally.
1) Argentina - 319 = Messi (Kash)
2) Portugal - 283 = Figo (Barefoot)
3) England - 272 = Beckham (Kash)
4) Wales - 271 = Giggs (Kash)
5) Germany - 267 = T. Muller (BlackCountry)
6) Argentina - 266 = Di Maria (Kash)
7) Brazil - 255 = Neymar (ioag)
8) Germany - 248 = Ozil (ioag)
9) France - 246 = Henry (ioag)
10) France - 243 = Ribery (ioag)
Can you name the players?
EDIT
We have a tie, Kash took an early lead but ioag with a couple of late ones.
So we go to penalties.
5 shots at 13 players. Most correct wins.
Penalty question:
Since the Premier League's inception, Manchester United have had thirteen players play for them who appear in the top 62 all time Premier League assist makers.
So one shot at a time. in turns, a la penalty kicks, please submit you choices.
Kash you first.
Top 10 assists in Football history

So Messi has a combined 1000 assists/goals or thereabouts in pro Football
On top of that he drops deep and starts the ball rolling!

Another underrated player, mainly disliked for being a bit of a cant and looking like Frankenstein's ugly brother, which is adding insult to injury when you think of it. Was one of the world's best footballers round about the second half of the 2010s imo. Bayern's flat out refusal to sell him to Madrid really laid down a marker for them I reckon.

yes definitely someone I wished United had offered for, before he went to Bayern.
Never knew you’d bid for him, not often you don’t get your man, any figures reported?

Didn’t know how he penalty shootout format would work but it went quite well.
Might be something in that for more subjects.

Yeah. It was quite the story over here, and took place at a time when Bayern had been struggling to assert themselves domestically and obtaining sub-par results in Europe, while Florentino was back and flexing Madrid's financial muscle again.
Madrid's opening bid was 50M euros, but had apparently already agreed terms with Ribéry, which incensed Bayern, who rejected several improved offers. Ribéry I think refused to train at one point, while Madrid went all the way up to 80M, but Bayern were adamant that they would not be pushed around.

Bayern went on to do the domestic double and played Inter for the treble in the CL final.

Fcking hell, so he did want the move, but didn’t sulk when he didn’t get it I presume, if Bayern did that well?
80m in 2010 was World record money still, or had Bale arrived by then?

No, Bale was several years later, right after Mourinho left. 2013 I think. 2009 I think was the same year as Ronaldo, Alonso, Kaká, Benzema and a couple of others. Pérez went completely mental that season, which was right after Pep's Barcelona had cleaned up at home and in Europe.

Ribéry did well for them, but I don't think he was as decisive as Robben. That CL final also pitted Robben against Sneijder, both of whom Madrid had just sold to make room for some of the names above. Pellegrini actually spoke out against the Sneijder sale at the time, which many saw as the first nail in his coffin.
