Golden Boot

The award given to the player who scores the most goals in a single World Cup tournament. This accolade is called the Golden Boot in both the men’s and women’s World Cup. It doesn’t always correlate that the player with the most goals at the tournament also win the Golden Ball trophy for the best player. For example, Germany’s Oliver Kahn won the player of the tournament in 2002 despite Ronaldo scoring 8 goals on the way to the title with Brazil. There is also a Golden Glove trophy for the best keeper at the World Cup.
