Rodriguez Top Goalscorer of World Cup

Speaking upon receiving the adidas Golden Boot Trophy, James Rodríguez said:

I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of my family and my international team mates who have been there for me every step of the way. The tournament in Brazil was an unbelievable experience for me personally, but also for Colombia as a nation as the team reached heights we have never reached before. To finish the tournament as top goal scorer is a great achievement and I look forward to many more successes with Colombia and with my new club, Real Madrid.

For the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, the adidas Golden Boot Trophy took the form of the best-selling boot in football history – the iconic adidas Copa Mundial – worn by some of the all-time greats including Franz Beckenbauer, Zico & Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. Since the Copa Mundial was created it has been sold over 10 million times and was in fact the last revolutionary product innovation created by sporting goods legend and founder of the adidas brand Adi Dassler. He had been personally involved in the early development of the original Copa Mundial before he passed away in 1978.
