Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazário was one of the most electrifying forwards of his era, known for his speed, skill, and composure in front of goal. He scored 15 goals in World Cup play, holding the all-time record until Miroslav Klose surpassed him in 2014. Ronaldo won the Golden Boot in 2002 with eight goals, helping Brazil to the title. While his 2002 tournament was spectacular, it doesn’t top the record for most goals in a single tournament. That title belongs to a Frenchman from 1958 who netted an astonishing 13 goals in just one campaign.
