Team who play 7 games.. finalists.. or teams who play for 3rd place.. & teams who have weak opponents in group stage. So i guess it will be PEDRO PAULETA from Portugal.\n1. Only in form and top portugal true striker.\n2. Portugal tactics - One striker, and 3 Mid/For behind him.\n3. Portugal play with Angola, and Iran in group stage.\n4. Portugal is enough quality to play in semifinals which automaticaly gives 7 games.\n5. Portugal have very strong midfield players, who create great goal oportunities that PAULETA will ....

I am Croatian, but I believe the surprise of this world cup will be Ukraine, with Andriy Schevchenko as a top world cup scorer!

i'd go with roberto carlos as well, although he's not the most accurate. he scores about 2 goals a year. shevchenko has quite a strong shot as well. alan shearer has always been good with powerful free kicks for newcastle/england.

It has to be Lukas Podolski, as much as i don't want the Germans to win World Cup 2006.\nHe has made a brilliant performance, and has been much better player than Messi and definitely Rooney without a doubt. He deserves miles off than any of the others. The team can rely on him to be a striker, he ain't going to have temper tantrums like Rooney. He will score goals in many more years to come.\nMessi? he is very young and has made a great breakthrough even tho he is only 19 now he hasn't had much international caps as Rooney or Podolski, but his time will come.

Kaka will be the next one to shine, or maybe Robinho. But Ronaldinho will surely be there if Brazil have an amazing World Cup run.

Two South American midfielders would get my vote... Either Kaka or Maxi Rodriguez would be fine to win this award as they are both young, brilliant on and off the ball, and make the players around them better...  It remains to be seen though, as Patrick Vieira is finally hitting his stride (the perfect captain for that French side if you ask me!), and it seems to me that a sleeping giant (no pun intended) has been awakened in Ronaldo!  If he has found his form, then he will end up being the most deadly striker at this tournament and I do not envy the task of any defender who has to mark him!  Finally it is worth mentioning that Alonso of Spain has been the biggest factor in their success thus far.  He makes those around him better and is absolutely lethal from a dead-ball situation!

He is also called "Topscorer".\nThe one, who has shot the most goals at the end of the championship is called "Torschützenkönig". But the one who has the most points (he shot goals, prepared goals, etc.) is called "Topscorer". The German language has a "faible" for English/American words.

a surprise choice maybe...I'd pick Henry. I might have said Ronaldo, but it is likely he will be substituted for at 65-70' in every match so he won't be injured (and to maintain his vulnerable good form) and therefore, he will get less playing time in all likelihood. Also, Brazil has many more options this time around with Kaka and Adriano as prominent goalscorers so Brazil's goalscoring does not have to depend on him as much (coach Carlos has already said he will start these players). As for why Henry will score, it's because recently, if you've followed closely, Cisse has been ruled out with injury. This player was France's goalscorer alongside Henry. Henry will now have to be much more aggressive and will get much more chances on goal.\nTo tell you the truth, though, I do not believe the top scorer of the Cup will be either Henry or Ronaldo, because they are too known and will be marked every single game. Watch for a Dutch player...Robben, Van Persie, van Nistelrooy??? In the recent game, Robben was excellent. Or watch for Klose. He is in inspired form. In all likelihood, it could be a surprise, but I say a Dutch or a German player, because these teams are likely to go to further in the tournament and have more games to be topscorers. While it is true France and Brazil could and in all likelihood go far too ( i pick Brazil to win...), there are circumstances, which I feel warrant attention to these other excellent players. Remember that strikers are a dime a dozen and in a World Cup tournament, top scorer means 6 or 7 goals a lot of the time, so if Klose already has two, he looks a very good and likely recipient of the top scorer  honor.

Rooney will be the top scorer in my opinion but with the way Ronaldinho is playing it wouldn't surprise me if he scored 10 in every match, especially when Brazils group contains cannon fodder like Japan, Croatia and Australia.  Sneaky feeling that Hernan Crespo may do well for Argentina and Henry is obviously looking forward to a good tournament with France.

It's got to be Thierry Henry.\nHe has pace, skill, fininshing inside and outside the box and has now developed great leadership skills.  He is also incredible arrogant, which may not make you like him, but gives the right qualities to suceed and always have confidence in his ability.\n\nHe just pips Samuel Eto and Shevchenko.

Nah... He won't be an all time top scorer...\n\nSomeone is much more deserved for it... like Klose

Majority of the top strikers going to Germany also play in different leagues in Europe, but one competition they all (at least above 70% of the strikers going to the world cup) literally played in is the UEFA champions league. \n\nThen if that was a yardstick and deciding factor, since they are competed against themselves, my best striker will be Andriy Shevchenko of Ac milan and Ukraine.\n\nI guess you know the best striker might not be in the best team. So maybe we should ask ourselves what we make someone the best striker? Goals? Then Shevy has it.

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.

I think Iker Casillas will do the best for his team. Spain won't get too far, but they will go as far as he takes them. \n\nCech and Dida are in a bad bit of form, van der Saar is a bit too old, Lehmann has been playing well but not for Germany, and Buffon just came back from injury.\n\nAs far as which goalie will go farther I think it's Buffon because I believe Italy can win it.

Klose from Germany. Highest rate to convert shots to goals.
