It’s not only the boot that’s prone to turning gold.
The Golden Glove is the award given to the best goalkeeper at the World Cup. The winner often comes down to impact, with clutch saves in knockout stage matches and standout performances in the tournament’s crunch-time moments.
In four of the last five World Cups, the winner of this award has come from the champion nation.

The Favorite(s): After Spain’s Unai Simon was favored for the last week or so, France’s Mike Maignan has jumped atop the oddsboard. Maignan has ten saves and has allowed just two goals over the course of six games, including three straight clean sheets in the knockout stage. Meanwhile, Simon and his squad have yet to allow a single goal so far, giving Simon five clean sheets. He also has six saves.
In terms of Argentina’s Emiliano Martínez, he won the Golden Glove back in 2022, but he and the Argentinian defense did allow two goals to upstart Cape Verde in the Round of 32 and then allowed two more against Egypt in the Round of 16.
