Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo won the Golden Boot in the FIFA World Cup 2002 after enjoying a magnificent run in the tournament. Ronado bagged 8 goals in the tournament and played an instrumental role in helping Brazil win the prestigious trophy.

Former Germany forward Miroslav Klose was the top-scorer in the FIFA World Cup 2006. Klose scored 5 goals for Germany in the tournament but failed to inspire them to the title. He is Germany's all-time highest top-scorer in international football and also holds the record for scoring most goals in FIFA World Cups.

Thomas Muller was a force to reckon with for Germany in the 2010 FIFA World Cup where he bagged 5 goals for his national team. The likes of David Villa, Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder all scored five goals each but Muller was awarded the Golden Boot for producing the maximum assists (3) among the 4 players.

Colombian attacking midfielder James Rodriguez announced himself to the world at FIFA World Cup 2014 with some sensational performances for his national team. Rodriguez bagged the Golden Boot for finishing as the top-scorer of the tournament with six goals to his name. 

England star Harry Kane bagged the Golden Boot in the latest edition of the FIFA World Cup in 2018. Despite facing intense competition from the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku among others, Kane bagged the top prize for the first time in his career. Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann scored 4 goals each to help France win the World Cup.
