The Daily Mail has run down the top 10 candidates for the World Cup Golden Boot, and here they are in all their glory.
First up, it’s the 2013 Ballon D’or winner…
Cristiano Ronaldo
Teams: Portugal and Real Madrid
Seasons goals: 55
Appearances: 45
Phenomenally talented, and equally as eccentric. No player in world football scored more goals last term than the Portuguese sensation in club football, and he’ll be looking to replicate the form on the biggest stage of them all.
Sergio Aguero
Teams: Argentina and Manchester City
Seasons goals: 28
Appearances: 34
City’s Argentine struggled with injuries last term, but he’s said to be fit and raring to go for the World Cup this summer. He’ll look to put the sword to Iran in the Group Stages.
Luis Suarez
Teams: Liverpool and Uruguay
Season goals: 31
Appearances: 37
There is little chance for us that Suarez will collect the Golden Boot, as his knee injury makes it practically impossible for him to find his ludicrous Liverpool form early on.
Lionel Messi
Teams: Argentina and Barcelona
Seasons goals: 36
Appearances: 39
Some say Messi had an average season with Barcelona, but aged 26, it’s finally time for one of the all-time greats to take an international tournament by storm.
Neymar
Teams: Brazil and Barcelona
Seasons goals: 13
Appearances: 37
The Golden Boy of Brazilian football, Neymar is carrying the hopes and dreams of the host nation on his shoulders. He’s got the talent to set the tournament alight, as well.
