The Golden Boot and the Golden Ball are the same. The difference between the two is exactly as follows.
How is the Golden Boot (Golden Shoe)
decided for the player who scored the most goals in the entire tournament (Top Scorer)? This is decided directly by the number of goals. No one’s likes or dislikes affect this. The one who scored the most goals gets it.
What if there is a tie? If the number of goals is equal, the next thing to look at is who made the most assists.
(For example, this time Mbappe and Messi both scored 8 goals, but Messi has 4 assists, so he gets the Boot)
Golden Ball
How is the Best Player of the entire tournament decided? This is decided by a vote of the FIFA Technical Committee and journalists. It can be won by the player who has played the best game throughout the tournament, whether in midfield, defense, or as a playmaker.
