Torres is looking good. I think he'll be in with a shout of it.

Torres scored two goals, but only one of those was impressive in any way and he played really badly throughout Spain's two games - somewhat of a weak link.

Gomez or maybe Dzagoev can be (depends of who will win 1/2 between them, if Ru of Ger will both win 1/4)
slightly lol'ed at Van Persie )

Quite hard to speculate the golden boot winner I think. But if I had to pick one player now, it would be Gomez.

Few notes so far:

- Gomez seems like a primary contender, 3 goals and classy midfielders behind his back, could be enough.
- Cristiano Ronaldo looked scary last game, might score some more against Czech team and later in semis.
- Mandzukic has 100% shot efficiency so far, perhaps he'll race with two CR and Gomez if Croatia makes it.
- Torres ended his nearly 2-year sniper hiatus against Ireland but midfielders will probably steal some goals from him.
- Poor Dzagoev, poor Ibrahimovic, poor Lewandowski, so much better than their respective teams.
- Huntelaar... was he on a pitch against Portugal? I haven't noticed.
- Wayne Rooney... Coming soon...

Rooney started too late IMO, unless he bags a hat-trick I don't see him winning the golden ball to be honest. He's up against Croatia, Italy or Spain in the next round and I don't see many goals in either match.

CRonaldo has good chances to win it now with Czech as his next opponent.

Gomez will have the same problems vs Greece as he had with Denmark after that Germany meets France/Italy and then Spain/Portugal.

That's my take on group A, B scorers so far.

I don't think Welbeck will have any chance of taking the golden boot. In fact, I think England will be knocked out in the next round and probably won't score another goal. It's looking very likely that they will play Spain next which is certainly too tall on order for England to overcome.

The other top players didn't want to play with Huntelaar. And vs Portugal he never got the ball from the playmakers on the midfield. he got the most balls from the goalkeeper and the defenders.
All time before the match Huntelaar talked about coming over the flanks and giving crosses in the box area. The entire game there was 1.

Van Marwijk failed tactically and the results blew up the whole team into different factions.

With Mario Gomez having 3 goals and 1 assist it's unlikely that either Torres or Fabregas will win this trophy, both being at 2goals, 0 assists.

Gomez probably won't play vs Italy. The last champs already had at least 5-6 goals - a champ with 3 would be a joke!

Villa didn't score the most goals at 2008 did he? I can't remember. I know he won the WC2010 with 5 goals but can't remember Euro 2008. Anyways looks like Gomez is gonna win it.

EDIT: Just checked Villa won it with 4 goals.

You can't really compare EURO and the World Cup - World cup is a stage longer, and the overall quality of teams is worse. As a top team, you're basically guaranteed a walkover during the group stages unless you get really unlucky with the seeding/drafting.

HEYHEY!! YO! weakest team??

.How is being crushed by the world champions and almost snatching a victory against a semi finalists being the weakest team? Wtf did the dutch do ? If anything holland were the weakest, all that talent you couldn't get past the ego's and play like a world class team, like you should have. Besides Ireland was great for this tournament. Showed everyone how to take a gracious loss and still have the spirit to enjoy the game.

..weakest team...... cheeky mofo.....



ON topic:

Gomez is the real contender now. God I pray italy get thru'! They've really changed there style and is awesome to see.

I was responding to his "Villa won WC2010 with 5 goals".

Also Gomez out, Balotelli is prime contender now :o

Balotelli looks likely to win the award now. What happens he doesn't score a goal on Sunday? I suppose Alonso, Torres, and Fabregas can give him a challenge too.
