Diego Forlan’s two goals against South Africa have seen him cut to a best price of 12/1 with Paddy Power to win the golden boot, most other firms have him around the 9/1, 10/1 mark.

Messi is still the joint favourite at 9/1 with Paddy Power, along with David Villa at 9/1 with Totesport, they are both followed by Germany’s Miroslav Klose at 11/1 withPaddy Power.

Selected Others

Wayne Rooney is 14/1 with Totesport
Robin Van Persie is 14/1 with Stan James
Fernando Torres is 18/1 with Paddy Power
Ronaldo is 25/1 with Bet365, Totesport, Skybet, 888 Sport, Blue Sq, Paddy Power and Stan James

And one I like the look of is Gonzalo Higuain who is 25/1 with Paddy Power and William Hill
