2010 FIFA WORLD CUP GOLDEN SHOE AWARD: Four players tied in the top spot in the race to be top scorer of 2010 FIFA World Cup. David Villa, Diego Forlan, Thomas Mueller, and Wesley Sneijder are currently all tied with 5 goals each. Since there is quadruple tie, the award will be given to the player who has contributed the most assists and this is how Mueller won the 2010 Golden Boot (or Golden Shoe) award.
Mueller has a total of five goals and three assists. He scored his first goal for Germany in the World Cup opener game against Australia. He contributed two goals during their knock out stage against England and one goal against Argentina in the quarterfinal game. He scored his fifth and last goal in the tournament during their third place play-off game against Uruguay.
Villa of Spain received the Silver Boot award due to playing fewer minutes than Sneidjer, and Sneijder won Bronze Boot award for having played fewer minutes than the 2010 World Cup’s best player, Forlan.
Aside from the “Golden Boot award,” Mueller also claimed the “Best Young Player award.” His teammate Lukas Podolski previously won the title in 2006.
