Miroslav Klose of hosts, Germany. With five goals at Germany 2006, Klose was one of the key reasons behind the host nation's third-place finish. Klose equalled his tally at Korea/Japan 2002, taking his goals' total in FIFA World Cup finals into double figures.
Klose was awarded the adidas Golden Shoe as the top scorer at the tournamement. The striker notched his five goals in seven matches to take his total FIFA World Cup tally to ten.
Finishing in second and third place respectively were Argentina's Hernan Crespo and Brazil's Ronaldo , providing both with some consolation for exiting the tournament at the quarter-final stage.
Klose’s five-goal tally is the lowest winning total since the 1962 FIFA World Cup, not that it makes his achievement any less worthy. With two goals against Costa Rica, a further brace against Ecuador and a fine header in the quarter-final with Argentina, Klose moved into third place in the list of top German goalscorers at the FIFA World Cup finals.
Ronaldo, who beat Klose to the coveted award at Korea/Japan 2002, will take away another unforgettable memory from Germany 2006. His three goals took him past German striking legend Gerd Muller to move to the top of the all-time FIFA World Cup scoring charts with 15 goals.
The Golden Shoe is awarded to the top scorer at the FIFA World Cup. In case of a tie, the positions are decided by the number of assists made by each player during the tournament. If two players are still tied, the one who has disputed the least number of minutes will be declared the winner.
Miroslav Klose exploded onto the world stage at the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan when he bagged a hat-trick as Germany ran out 8-0 winners over Saudi Arabia, gaining instant worldwide fame. The then 24-year-old went on to become one of the shooting stars of the tournament, finishing as Germany’s top scorer with five goals and second only to Brazil’s Ronaldo in the final standings. He plays for Bundesliga club Werder Bremen.
