Germany's Thomas
Müller has won the Golden Boot after finishing as the World Cup 2010 top scorer and been named as the
young player of the tournament.
The Germany attacker claimed the
accolade after Holland's Wesley Sneijder and Spain's David Villa failed
to hit the net during Spain's 1-0 win at the Soccer City stadium.
The 20 year-old
German starlet was also named Young Player of the World Cup, capping an
incredible tournament in South Africa, having scored five goals from his
five shots on target.
Müller's three
assists put him ahead of other players on five goals, with Diego Forlan
of Uruguay, Wesley Sneijder of Holland and David Villa of Spain missing
out on the Golden Boot trophy.
With the tournament
boasting a host of star attacking players, few would have predicted that
Mueller would have such a big impact on football's biggest stage.
The Germany star
plays his club football for Bayern Munich and was a leading figure in
Germany's under 21 setup before being called up to the senior squad for a
friendly against Argentina in March.
Mueller has just
made just eight international appearances, with all of his international
goals coming at the World Cup.
