Best Wrong Answer

Dhulikhel‚ Kavre
Player name:  Mario Gomez
5 players Mario Mandzukic(croatia)‚ Alan Dzagoev(Russia)‚ Cristiano Ronaldo)‚ Mario Balotelli(Italy) and Mario Gomez(Germany) has scored 3 goals each so far. According to FIFA rule the golden boot award goes to the player with higher number of goals.If 2 or more players have same number of goals then the player with higher number of assist wins. If the assists is also same then the player who has played for least amount of time wins. So according to this rule Gomez has an advantage of 1 assist which all others don't have and he it made against Denmark and Gomez has played for 282 mins and Balotelli for 332 mins so far. So if Balotelli is to win then he has to either score at least 1 or assist 2 which is very unlikely against strong opponent like Spain. So definitely Gomez will win.

With 2 goals right now‚ a hat-rick in the final will assure Fabregas the golden boot. Since Villa is not in the game Fabregas had to step up as the main scorer which he has done and will do in the final. Go Spain and go Fabregas..................Chunda chunda tachunda chunda chunda..(Spain's football chant)

Player: Mario Balotelli
He has been in the outstanding form since last two matches. If the combo of Mario Balotelli and Andrea Pirlo works like a charm like it did against Germany‚ and the temperamental momentum of Balotelli continues‚ there will be no stoppage. The very feeble probability that Alonso or Torress or Fabregas will score two goals could couple very well with the momentum Balotelli's been galloping ahead with like a dark horse.
