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

Oh, and the Golden Boot just got interesting.

Mueller heads the count with 5 goals and 3 assists.

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:

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.

 

[DeanRitter]

Go Spain!! Go Spain!! Go!! Go!! Go!!

 

[smit]

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]

thanks for bringing that up mate...

 

[BoondasH1]

Netherlands should win this! It will be close.

 

[Tigers Maniac]

Netherlands should win this! It will be close.

Nah - Nethlerlands won't win - Spain are faultless.

 

[Warney]

So predictions??

Spain 1 Netherlands 2 for me

 

[popthetart]

netherlands 2 - spain 0

 

[GiRDS-]

spain 3-1 im tipping

 

[Warney]

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

 

[GiRDS-]

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]

that was counted as an own-goal mate

 

[bo3197]

i hope villa win boot and sneijder gets ball. torres with a hat trick in the final
