Just Fontaine, he scored 13 in 1958, that's impressive!

There was no world cup last year. But in 2002, it was Ronaldo. His 8 goals for Brazil (including both in the final) helped him win the golden boot as well as the best player award.\n\nOliver Kahn won best goalie.

I don't think Ronaldinho will be the best scorer -- remember, he is a midfielder, and therefore will have less opportunities to score.\n\nThe most prolific goalscorer will be either Ronaldo (who please do not confuse with Ronaldinho) or Adriano.\n\nAs for Ronaldinho, he probably will be the best overall player in the tournament.\n\nAnd, Amberose, Brazil and Argentina CANNOT possibly play the final -- they cross in the quarterfinals. So, it's either one or the other.

Pelé is the leading scorer for the national team, with 95 goals in 114 games.  He is also, as expected, the leading scorer of all time in Brazil with 1284 goals during his career.

PELE top scorer 1281 goals, top WORLD CUP WINNER 3 times.\nMany. many, many championships with santos, Copa Libertadores (several) and Intercontinental Cups (several).\n\n2 \nMaradona WORLD CUP WINNER, UEFA Champions WINNER. \nExtremly famous for his jumping, dribbling and 1 on 1 ability against the keepers. He was so talented for using la rabona, (not the cocaine, la rabona is a way to hit the ball while you cross the hitting leg behind the support leg and then hit the ball at the same time). Too bad he was a DRUG ADDICT and that is the reason why I do not believe he was the greatest!!!. Drugs like cocaine that DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA used, gave him the ability to see everybody else in slow motion, that is the reason why he was so fast and almost never was tackled down because he could resist constant kicks from the defenders, his balance was unbelieveable, totally out of this world for a man his height, only 5 feet 5 inches 1 meter 65 centimeters. \n\n3 \nRoberto Baggio UEFA Champions WINNER HypermegaUltra dribbling ability, fainting, middle and long distance shooting, free kicks and penalty kicks, middle height volleys, too. I never saw him lost on a 1 on 1 against the keeper during this career in the Calcio Italiano. This guy had it all. He was a mini version PELE. \nToo bad he never won a WORLD CUP because he played with an injured leg the final match of the WORLD CUP of USA in 1994.\n\n4 \nJohann Cruyff 2 WORLD CUP SUBCHAMPION \nI have nothing much to say about this demigod of soccer. No WORLD CUPs but the best in his position during the 70s. Not even the brazilian Zico was as good as this guy.\nWith Ajax he was at this top game, and then the injuries never left him alone. Too bad Johann, you were a diabolo.\n\n5 \nMichelle Platini what to say about this master of the ball.\nIntercontinental Cups, Squdettos with La Juve (Squdetto means Local League Championship Winner)\n\n6 \nRonaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excessively ball controller, so good so effective, he is almost unstoppable. Too bad he got injured in the top of this game. Now he is fat, kind of slow and can not take on defenders as well as he used to. \n7 \nRonaldinho WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) haha, splinter the rat from TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is the brother of this BOY. The fastest dribbler nowadays. He can create a scoring play from nowhere. He will win another WORLD CUP, you all will see.\n\n7 Rivaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excellent striking ability as well as bicycle kick ability. Dribbling talent, no doubt about it. Curling the ball was his special trick, he would put excessive power as well as curl in his shots, which made them extremelly difficult for the goalkeepers to retain, as a prove of that just watch his shot against OLIVER KAHN (germany's goal keeper in the final match of KOREA JAPAN 2002) it created the first goal for the Brazilians.\n\n8 \nRomario over 900 goals scored WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time)\nextreme accuracy and usage of the outside part of his right boot, he could score goals crossing the ball in the keepers area from side to side at ground level.\n\n9 \nHugo Sanchez over 400 goals scored Ultra aerial game !! This guy was a F1 airplane (the soccer ball were his missiles)scissors kicks, bicycle kicks, dive heading, over heading, besides of his great accuracy for free kick shoots, dribbling.\n\n10 \nFranz Beckenbauer, DAS KAISER, WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) the best German player ever, over Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Sammer and many other German mann (not bad spelled this is the way Germans use plurar for man in Germany).\n\n11 and on ? I'll let this one at your choice, Puskas, Alfredo Di Stefano, David Beckham, Luis Figo, Ryan Giggs, Manuel Rui Costa, Gabiel Omar Batistuta, Ortega, Luis Hernandez, Cuauhtemoc Blanco. They did not nor will ever win a WORLD CUP. Too bad for them, what a shame.

Klose of Germany!!! He is so far the top scorer too.

Just Fontaine, Most goals in a Cup.  Jairzinho, most consecutive game goals in a cup.  Average wise, Just Fontaine gets the Prize.

The golden boot is awarded to a player who scores the most goals at the world cup. It was awarded to Ronaldo from Brazil.

It is quite a tough question to answer. When deciding on the best striker not only do the goals matter but the manner of goals do matter. While statistics may say that that Mirostav Klose is the top scorer. However in my opinion Ronaldo has to be the top striker. The first two games he was almost anonymous. However, Ronaldo vowed to come back against Japan and he did so brilliantly. It was the first-half stoppage time, Ronaldo bangs in a simple header from close range efficiently. Will one goal silence the critics? Of course it won't. In the 80th minute, Ronaldo takes on 3 defenders at once and nets a brilliant solo which Kawaguchi had no chance to save. Against Ghana, the main topic was whether he would break Gerd Muller's 15-goal WC mark. He did it in dine style. Kaka gave him a through ball, and Ronal do side-stepped the Ghanian keeper to put the ball in. Others may have chipped it or smashed it in. It was Ronaldo and Ronaldo is always linked with artistry. He is only 29, and if she stays fit he could be there in South Africa. People had written him off as too plump and lacking the killer instincts. \nRonaldo hadnt lost anything, he was just waiting for the right moment to begin his world cup and bring up the new record. I think the best time he could find was aginst Ghana.

I would say pele because of all his goals and that he won 2 world cups with Brazil in 1958 and 1970.
1081946
Gerd Muller (Germany) 14 total goals\n10 goals in 1970 World Cup 4 goals in 1974 World Cup
1037134
He may be overweight but he's still the best striker in the world. He's complete world class scored most goals ever in the world cup. Barely moved in the world cup yet got the ball and was magic so he shouldn't retire.

Pele` without a doubt was THE BEST. Following hin very, very far one from Eusebio - George Best - Sivori: it only depends from personal opinion.
