Lukas Podolski's Adidas F50 match worn boots. This special made to measure
boots were worn during the season 2006. Both boots are personalized with
"LUKAS", "LUCK" in China fonts and his shirt-nr. 20. Podolski was selected in the
Germany squad for the 2006 World Cup, where he partnered Miroslav Klose as the
attack duo in the starting lineup. He scored his first ever World Cup goal in
Germany's third group match against Ecuador, and both goals in the 2–0 win over
Sweden in the round of 16. He became the first player since 1962 to score two
goals in the first 12 minutes of a World Cup match and only the third player ever
to accomplish the feat. Germany finished third in the tournament, and while his
teammate Miroslav Klose won the Golden Boot competition, Podolskis three goals
tied him for second place with Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Fernando Torres,David
Villa, Maxi Rodriguez, Hernán Crespo and Zinedine Zidane. Podolski was named
the World Cup's Best Young Player ahead of players like Lionel Messi or
C.Ronaldo.
