No doubt about it; CRISTIANO RONADLO from Portugal!!! He's young (duh), fit, and hella amazing in everything he does. Yeah so he's dancing feet may get in the way at times, but he gets the job done!! -WATCH OUT 4 HIM THIS SUMMER!!- ohh && i gotta mention my boy WAYNE ROONEY! He's a freakin solid rock!! He's awesome 2!! He's a key player in the English squad...but...In my eyes Cristiano Ronaldo will win the award

Hmm...\n\nMichael Owen perhaps? Haha.\n\nKleberson was tipped to become the next Brazilian superstar, but it all went wrong when he joined Man U.

golden ball or golden shoe ??!?!?!?\n\na) Steven Gerrard !\n\nRonaldinho didn't show his skill in playing so he was before ( in barca )  \n\nand Figo is not young enough to play like before even though he is good now ! ( but not as good as before ! )

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

I think it might be Kevin Kuranyi of Schalke. He was left out of the National team.

My pick goes to Buffon. He was only beaten by his teammate in a very unfortunate own goal.\nDuring each game he showed to be very calm and assertive with the defensive line without ever being caught out of position on crosses or shots. The fact that he didn't have to make any spectacular/sensational saves, indicates great sense of position.\n\nHe has been very confident on crosses, corners, and one on one situations. This tournament I haven't been impressed by any player in particular, but Buffon struck me for his continuity.

For me personally, Messi. Great talent. Always turns up in the right frame of mind to play to the best of his ability, from what I have seen anyhow.

Ronaldo, obviously. Henry actually played pretty well, and scored a goal, but Ronaldo is only a shell of his former self. Shockingly, Brazil doesn't even need him to be at his best to win the world cup.........

I think it could be David Beckham. His form 's not been great and he is under tremendous pressure to perform.

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.

Zidane for sure! Although he's way past his best.

of all people who got robbed... darren bent. he didnt make the team (the walcott did). take FREDDY EASTWOOD (SOUTHEND FC)

I don't understand why you would answer a question if your just going to give a stupid answer. Rooney? Beckham? Terry? Best!!!? The only player around now who could be considered is Shearer but he hasn't won anything. It can only be a player who helped to win us the world cup so I would say Bobby Charlton as he's also Englands top ever goal scorer.

Wake -up call for all present:  Ronaldo was just replaced in the 69th minute.  He's a little overweight and not performing that well.\n\nKlose is now an easy pick seeing as he already has 2 under his belt - no-brainer and #1 favorite.  Same goes for Rosicky.  \n\nCrespo - maybe.\n\nDrogba more than likely won't make it past the next round.  \n\nOwen also left the pitch earlier than planned - as soon as Rooney is healthy again, he can go back to Newcastle for a long vacation.\n\nHenry also needs to make it into the half-finals.  They won't.\n\nRaul maybe\n\nShev maybe\n\nVan Nistelrooy longshot, but feasable\n\nAnd now the player you forgot:  Ronaldinho.  He will win the Golden Boot 2006.

Landon Donovan. Adu is only good because of how old he is. If he were the same age as all the other players no one would make that big of a deal about him.
