	Planet World Cup - Mike Gibbons (Columnist) May 21 2005
		The currency of football is goals and what the golden boot does mean is that for one summer, should you have been lucky enough to win it, you were in the right place at the right time more than any other player, which is exactly what being a striker is all about.
		Croatia made their first appearance in the World Cup in 1998, and their eventual third placed finish was largely due to the inspired form of Davor Suker.
		Sharing the golden boot with Salenko (and it's a safe bet this really got under his skin) was Hristo Stoichkov, the charismatic, maniacal forward from Bulgaria.

		At the end of each World Cup final tournament, several awards are attributed to the players and teams which have distinguished from the rest, in different aspects of the game.
		The 2006 World Cup was the first time that the top three players came from fewer than three countries, and the first time that the top three had played in the finals game, although several German players and one Portuguese player were shortlisted.
		For the 2006 FIFA World Cup this means that the player had to have been born on or after 1 January 1985.

		I have always heard the award given to the player who scored the most goals at a football world cup referred to as the Golden Boot, however there is a case suggesting that it is properly called the Golden Shoe, as shown on the official FIFA website...
		Reason: Football World Cup Awards already covers this (plus other awards).
		By the way, don't merge as the Golden Boot might not necessarily be a FIFA award Paddy :-) 14:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

		Often times, betting on the World Cup scoring crown can be just as difficult as picking the winner of the tournament, but a little research can make this task much more manageable.

		There are some great goal scorers who I won't put among the favorites to lead the World Cup in scoring because they play in the tough groups.

		But in winning the Golden Boot, the 25-year-old has shown that he is once again the world's top striker - and he has done it in some style.
