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

Tigers Maniac · Jul 11, 2010

Oh, and the Golden Boot just got interesting.

Mueller heads the count with 5 goals and 3 assists.

---------- Post added 11-07-2010 at 07:27 AM ----------

Favourites in for the golden ball and young player of the tournament.

Golden Ball: Lionel Messi, David Villa, Wesley Sneijder, Mesut Oezil, Andres Iniesta.

Young Player of Tournament: Thomas Mueller, Giovani Dos Santos, Andre Ayew

And some transfer news:

Chelsea put in 30 million pound bid for Torres
Chelsea to turn down Ibramhamovic
Man City keen to sign Drogba (laughs) or Ibramhamovic
Alex Ferguson 'never' put in a bid for Sneijder
Juventus and Arsenal may do straight swap- Felipe Melo for Gael Clichy

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..

Warney · Jul 11, 2010

BoondasH1 · Jul 11, 2010

Warney · Jul 11, 2010

i hope Sneijder scores a goal to win the Golden Boot, he deserves it.

GiRDS- · Jul 11, 2010

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

Warney · Jul 11, 2010

that was counted as an own-goal mate

bo3197 · Jul 11, 2010
