Wow: Uruguay 2-3 Germany. That was an amazing match and hate to admit it but Germany did well without Klose, Podolski and Lahm!

So Forlan can't win Golden Boot but he's had an amazing tournament. Basically, Villa and/or Sneijider HAVE to score the win the Golden Boot. I reckon which ever team wins the final will have the Golden Boot winner - So, looks like Villa is getting it.

Germany have a solid team.. not sure why you'd say they'd be in trouble... Especially with youngsters picked like Ozil and Kroos both of whom have immense talent.

Quoting this as i look much much more intelligent now and a certain Warney who claimed Germany would struggle doesn't.. :)
 
i wouldnt mind if sneijder won it but i am hoping villa does as sneijders goal they counted was really an assist off the brazilian defenders head
