Great responsibility is attributed to the Forward for achieving the goal, but is he who performs this done more? The aim of this study is to answer this question with an analysis of what position athlete (Defender, Midfield or Forward) performs the most goals. Based on a descriptive research, the 192 goals scored in 64 games between the 32 male professional levels of the World Cup in 2014 held in Brazil selections were analyzed. Also noticed that the majority of goals throughout the tournament by attackers with a percentage of 57.81% were achieved against 30.72% of midfielders and defenders did 11.45%. According to the results, the attackers had great predominance in achieving the goals in the 2014 World Cup, where the 1st phase were higher in the playoffs and were equal with the other positions.
