#2 Thomas Muller (Germany) - South Africa 2010
Muller was arguably Germany's best player at the 2010 edition of the tournament, as he scored five goals and had three assists and took away the Golden Boot award at the tender age of 20.
Germany achieved a third-place finish as they narrowly lost to eventual champions Spain in the semi-finals. Muller was sensational throughout for the Die Mannschaft throughout the tournament.
His first goal came against Australia in the group stage. He netted two against England in the round of 16, one against Argentina in the quarter-final and one against Uruguay in the third-place play-off.
Muller certainly came of age in South Africa and he would go on to play a vital role in the 2014 title-winning campaign in Brazil.
