Star players like Mohamed Salah of Egypt have not had a memorable tournament with the African team failing to progress beyond the group stage but he too has two goals against his name. Be it Argentina being almost knocked out from the tournament or Germany facing the ignominy of crashing out in the group stages for the first time since 1938, the tournament has given several enjoyable moments.
The top goalscorer at every FIFA World Cup is awarded the Golden Boot. If two or more players are tied on goals, the winner will be decided by the total assists. If assists cannot split them, the players who played the least minutes will walk away with the prize.
