Golden Boot for own goals?

Hi! In the unlikely scenario that a player for a team at a major FIFA sanctioned competition (i.e. Men's or Women's World Cup) scores more own goals than any other player scores proper goals will the player with the most own goals be awarded the Golden Boot? Say for example, player y scores 7 own goals over the course of a tournament and player x scores 6 proper goals. Will player y win the Golden Boot award for scoring the most goals? Thanks, Jith12 (talk) 21:48, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No the award is for scoring goals against the opposition. BTW if a player were to score more than one or two own goals I would check to see if Professor Quirrell had purchased tickets. MarnetteD|Talk 21:54, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MarnetteD: Ha ha ha! Thanks for the confirmation! Jith12 (talk) 22:03, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Could be just protesting a referring decision AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne or trying to avoid a match with a team allegedly supported by local criminal elements [1] (I'm not sure how many goals individual players actually scored). Although I think most commentators have suggested that the first case is unlikely to happen in any major modern match, the referee will intervene.

In the history of organized soccer, intentional own goals are exceedingly rare, but not unknown. See Barbados 4–2 Grenada (1994 Caribbean Cup qualification) for perhaps the most famous example. These are usually always due to poor planning on the part of tournament organizers, who designed tie-breaker systems which encourage the behavior. Usually, the first time as team tries to exploit such a loophole, the tiebreaking system is altered to remove the glitch, so it really almost never happens. --Jayron 32 13:14, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
