The record for most goals in a single FIFA World Cup is held by a player who scored an amazing number of times during one big soccer tournament.
Imagine you're playing a game where you get to kick the ball into a net, and every time you do that, it counts as a goal. Now imagine doing that 10 times in just one big competition, that’s like scoring more goals than everyone else combined!
The Goal Scoring Champion
That record belongs to Just Fontaine, a player from France. He played in the 1958 FIFA World Cup, and he scored 13 goals! That's like putting 13 balls into the net in just one tournament, it’s incredible.
Think of it like this: if you're playing soccer with your friends, and you manage to score almost half the total number of goals in the whole game, that would be really impressive. Just Fontaine did something even more amazing than that, he scored more than anyone else in one of the biggest soccer events in the world!
