With just four teams remaining in the 2018 World Cup, the options are narrowing for who will win the Golden Boot, awarded to the highest-scoring player in the tournament.
The mecca of all tournaments is finally upon us once again, where the best of the best from around the world square off to see who rules this planet. In the world of sports, football doesn’t just sit atop the throne, it dwarfs every other sport. In fact, the 2014 World Cup in Brazil reached about 3.2 billion viewers worldwide. In comparison, Super Bowl 32 reached approximately 98.7 millions viewers. Now you know what sport we’re talking about when we say football.
Russia 2018 will feature some of the best footballers the sport has ever seen. Lionel Messi will try to lead Argentina to glory, fresh off his La Liga title and fifth European Golden Boot. Cristiano Ronaldo will try to fill the only empty space in his trophy case with a World Cup win with Portugal. Neymar Jr. will try and lead Brazil back to the promise land and prove that he belongs in the conversation as the best player in the world.
Regardless, only one of these elite athletes will finish the tournament as the top goal scorer. Can Mo Salah show out for Egypt and capture the title? Will one of the Germans capitalize off their top-notch roster and shoot atop the goal standings? Here are the odds to win the 2018 World Cup Golden Boot.
Lionel Messi (9.75)
It’s never a bad choice to bet on Messi. He is arguably the best football player in the world. Heck, he is in the conversation as the best that’s ever played. Not to mention, Argentina is without-a-doubt the best team in Group D, with the only potential threat being Croatia and Messi’s Barca teammate Ivan Rakitic. Either way, Argentina needed Messi’s heroics to solidify their spot in the tournament during qualifying a few months ago. Don’t be surprised if he is once again expected to carry the load for one of the World Cup favorites.
Cristiano Ronaldo (13.50)
Let’s be honest, once you see that Ronaldo has the fourth best odds to win the Golden Shoe, throw your money down right away. He is quite possibly the best player in the game right now and definitely top-2. To put him at fourth is an insult to arguably the most popular athlete in the world. Portugal is in a tough Group B with another world powerhouse in Spain, but Ronaldo will know how to play against a lot of the guys on the Spanish squad from his long career in La Liga playing for Real Madrid. Look for Ronaldo to have a chance at netting the most goals in the tournament.
Thomas Muller (29.00)
First off, he is on the defending World Cup Germany team, so he is going to play a lot of games in this tournament. Germany is definitely the best team in Group F; however, Mexico and Sweden are no slouches on the international stage. Nevertheless, the Germans defeated El Tri 4-1 in the 2017 Confederations Cup and Sweden is still without any confirmation from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so their path could produce plenty of scoring chances for Muller. Not to mention, he leads all current World Cup players in goals scored (10) and assists (6) entering Russia 2018.
2018 FIFA World Cup™
England's Harry Kane finished as the leading goalscorer at the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ to win the adidas Golden Boot. France's Antoine Griezmann and Belgium's Romelu Lukaku finished second and third respectively.
