All of his goals came in the group stage, starting with a headed hat-trick in an 8–0 win against Saudi Arabia at the Sapporo Dome.[5]

Klose netted two goals in the opening game of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a 4–2 win against Costa Rica,[6] and scored another brace in Germany's final group stage match, a 3–0 win against Ecuador.[7] He finished his second World Cup again with five goals to take the FIFA World Cup Golden Shoe.[8]On 10 September 2008, during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification, he scored the last of his four international hat-tricks, earning a 3–3 draw away to Finland.[9] He scored four goals at the finals in South Africa, including two in a 4–0 quarter-final win over Argentina on his 100th cap.[10]On 6 June 2014, Klose scored his 69th goal in 132 games in a 6–1 friendly win over Armenia in Mainz, surpassing Gerd Müller's record of 68 goals in 62 games from 1966 to 1974.[11] Klose added two more goals in Germany's victory at the 2014 FIFA World Cup to retire with a record of 71 goals in 137 games. His final goal came in their 7–1 semi-final victory over hosts Brazil, taking him to 16 World Cup goals and surpassing Ronaldo as the tournament's record goalscorer.[2]
