The Golden Boot Award goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA World Cup.
The award was introduced at the 1930 World Cup. The 1994 World Cup in the United States was the first time that Silver and Bronze boots awards were added to reward the second and third top scorers in the tournament. Since 1994, if there is more than one player with the same amount of goals, the tie-breaker goes to the player who has contributed the most assists (with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such). If there is still more than one player, the tie-breaker goes to the player who has played the least amount of time.
So far, the highest goals scored in a World Cup are 13, by Just Fontaine of France in 1958. In the last world cup, Miroslav Klose won the Adidas Golden Shoe with 5 goals, followed by Hernan Crespo with 3 and Ronaldo with 3.
