Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.

Josef Masopust was a Czech football player and coach. He played as midfielder and was a key player for Czechoslovakia, helping them reach the 1962 FIFA World Cup Final. He was capped 63 times, scoring ten goals for his national team. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups

12 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1958–1962

The archive holds 12 team sheets naming Josef Masopust in Czechoslovakia's starting line-up, from 1958-06-08 to 1962-06-17.

12 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
