haha people booing suarez :D

Just read on BBC that it goes on Assists in the event of tie. Villa and Sneijder have 1 each, Muller has 3. So, at the moment, the golden boot is going to Muller!

Cavani 1-1

wow nice tackle by perez that led to a goal.

wow nice tackle by perez that led to a goal.

Was always going to happen :lol:

Not a belter, but a nice finish.

You had to fucking jynx it, didn't you?

It wasa tie in 1994 :? According to wiki, the award goes to the player with the best goals:minutes ratio.

Except Cacau is actually a threat on goal.

interesting! I can see villa scoring :P

But yeh i agree with yer comments afro about muller...

Afro:

BBC:
So, just to clarify in the race for the Golden Shoe - Thomas Mueller has five goals, along with David Villa and Wesley Sneijder. But Mueller has three assists too, Villa and Sneijder only have one each, so at the moment it's Mueller's.

I'd trust that more fhan Wiki. :P

Germans need to score next.

I was just thinking how good Schweinsteiger's tournament has been and he gets caught with the ball and hands Uruguay a goal. #-o

Fucile has been flying in with some bloody venomous tackles. Wouldn't surprise me if he was sent packing at some point.

also another good way of deciding things but wikipedia isn't something i count as gospel either... where's sydneycroatia's rule book when you need it ;)

Could've been a penalty. He had both hands over his shoulders.

Lugano really lucky not to get done for the penalty there.

Germany's left side has been really disappointing. Why hasn't Trochowski started?

lol but he has been a standout that's for sure.

was it fucile who did that tackle at the edge of the penalty box (with the scissor tackle?)

I was ready for perez to take the player down tho, haha.

on another note, bloody hell suarez, use yer hands ;) (don't get me wrong, i still think suarez is a talented football player)

:lol: Suarez

Just did some more reading. It goes Assists > Goals:minutes.

The difference between you or I and BBC's commentators is that they get paid for their posts. It's hardly any more reliable than wikipedia.

Goal coming from this imo.

I don't know what Wiki Afro is on because Wikipedia.org says that it's decided by which player has the most assists and if they are level on that then it goes to the player who has played the least amount of minutes.

and you'd be wrong, lugano used his head this time ;) - geez its bucketing down

Uruguay are playing better counter attacking football than Germany.

I misread. My bad.

Clarification time regarding the Golden Boot.

This is from the FIFA WC Regulations from 2006 which I'm pretty sure are the same.



Doesn't mention anything about minutes played which is interesting.

The German defence looks very disorganised without Lahm there to run the show.

... Wow.

agreed!

diego forlan equalled on the golden boot award.

Simply brilliant from Forlan which now takes him to 5 goals.

How many assists does Forlan have?

Cacau may be quick, but he's bloody useless. The Germans look lost without Klose up front.

they are looking quite pedestrian especially with the intensity they played with at the very beginning.

That was an absolutely DELIGHTFUL cross. Superb.

spoke to soon. germany scored! love 3rd place playoffs. more goals please :P
