I have listed the achievement and stats I believe are important above. So Thurston is either equal or has Johns covered in just about every category except world cup titles and club goals. Of course Thurston is still playing and will likely better his club goals and probably add another world cup title in 2017. So has Thurston officially gone past Johns in greatness? Is he the GOAT? Many of Thurston's records mentioned above are actually all-time records so that must be considered when discussing his GOAT status.
