I think the World Cup 2006 has not yet reached the phase where you can talk about who is heading for the golden shoe. The first round hasn't even finished yet. If Ronaldo wants it he'd better start playing football instead of what he is doing now. Christiano Ronaldo has now scored one goal in 149 minutes, which is not enough if you want to be topscorer.\n\nFifa has a poll on their site and they nominate:\nMiroslav Klose (GER)\nMichael Owen (ENG)\nRuud van Nistelrooij (NED)\nAli Karimi (IRN)\nLuca Toni (ITA)\nRonaldinho (BRA)\nThierry Henry (FRA)\nAndriy Shevchenko (UKR)\n\nSome of those also seem unlikely, I have to admit. \n\nDon't misunderstand I think Christiano Ronaldo is a great player and of course he can still score lots of goals this WC. Ronaldo I think is no longer the great player he once was. He won the golden shoe in 2002.\n\nIf your question means I have to choose between those 2 I'd say Christiano Ronaldo.

>>> Top scorer in ALL WC ever:\n\nMost goals scored: Gerd Müller (West Germany 1970-1974), 14 \n\nMüller scored 68 goals in 62 games for Germany. His career in the national team started in 1966 and ended on July 7, 1974 with the win of the World Cup at his home stadium in Munich. He scored the winning goal for the 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the final. His 4 goals in that tournament and his 10 goals at the 1970 World Cup combined make him the most successful World Cup striker to date. Müller also participated in the 1972 European Championship, becoming top scorer with 4 goals and winning the Championship with the German team.\n\n\n>>> Top scorer in ONE WC:\n\nJust Fontaine (born August 18, 1933 in Marrakech, Morocco) was a French football player. He holds the all-time record for goals scored in a single World Cup finals, with 13 in 1958.\n\nWearing the blue shirt of France, Fontaine's statistics are even more impressive. On his debut with the team on December 17, 1953, Fontaine scored a hat trick as France drubbed Luxembourg 8-0. In seven years, he scored 30 goals in 21 matches for the national team. However, Fontaine will best be remembered for his 1958 World Cup performance, where he scored 13 goals in just 6 matches, including putting 4 past the West Germans. This tally secured him the Golden Boot for that tournament, and his total of 13 remains the greatest number of goals scored in a single World Cup tournament.

Ronaldo has just equalled the record of 14 goals which was held by Germany's Gerd Muller (Der Bomber), and looks set to break the record at this World Cup.\nAlthough both these players scored they're goals in several Word cup competitions.\n\nFrenchman Juste Fontaine scored 13 goals in one World Cup and never played in another.\nAnd that looks like a record that will never be broken
