On the eve of his 100th cap, Germany striker Miroslav Klose admits he is eyeing Ronaldo's all-time record for the most amount of goals at the World Cup finals.
Klose will make his 100th appearance for Germany in Sunday morning's World Cup quarter-final against Diego Maradona's Argentina in Cape Town and the Bayern Munich hot-shot is looking for his third goal of the current tournament.
The 32-year-old scored his 50th goal for Germany in last Monday's 4-1 rout of England in the round of 16 and his tally puts him third on the table of Germany's all-time goal-scorers.
Having scored five at each of the last two finals, Klose has now scored 12 goals in three World Cups -- the same amount as Brazilian legend Pele.
He is the only player at South Africa 2010 with a realistic chance of reaching Ronaldo's tally of 15 goals in this year's tournament and Klose has the Brazilian's record firmly in his sights.
Despite dropping retirement hints last week, the 32-year-old Polish-born forward now says he wants to play at Euro 2012, to be held in Poland and the Ukraine.
