- Thomas Müller, David Villa, Wesley Sneijder and Diego Forlán each scored five goals in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Müller won the Golden Boot by virtue of having more assists (three) than the rest (each had one). Villa won the Silver Boot due to having played fewer minutes than Sneijder, and Sneijder won the Bronze Boot due to having played fewer minutes than Forlán.
