It's Just Fontaine who scored 13 goals in the 1958 World Cup\n\nPS. the guy above is lying about his source, he copied it word by word from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Fontaine\n\nUPDATE: Gerard Muller did not score those 14 goals in a SINGLE world cup, he scored them in more than one world cup appearance.

Just Fontaine has scored the most goals in one world cup tournament, that was 13 goals
421383
Gerd Muller of Germany scored 14 World Cup goals to lead the pack. Just Fontaine of France scored 13, while Ronaldo and Pele have 12 each.\n\nI dont think it is fair to ask against which opponent and year since your first question is considering the goals over many games and many world cups.
