This is who I think Golden Boot: Wesley Sneijder Golden Ball: Diego Forlan Yashin Award (Best Goalkeeper): Not sure about this one Casillas I guess Best Young Player: Mesut Ozil
This is who I think Golden Boot: David Villa Golden Ball: Wesley Sneijder Yashin Award (Best Goalkeeper): Neuer????? Best Young Player: Thomas Mueller
Golden Boot: David Villa Golden Ball: Xavi Best GK: Julio Cesar (even though he fucked up vs Netherlands, Casillas has had some glaring fuckups as well) Best Young Player: Luis Suarez
Couple of things No way in hell that Julio Cesar wins best GK. The only gk that went out in the quarters that has a chance is the ghanese keeper. not sure who wins it No way in hell that suarez gets it. it would be like complimenting him for his (smart decision) handball against ghana, they will never do that
Muller is a lock for Young Player. Muller also wins the Golden Boot if Villa/Sniedjer don't score tomorrow. Tie break is assists which Muller leads.
Yeah, he had his handball, but he was pretty electric outside of that, even in today's game. Obviously Muller is going to win it, but I was just throwing some other shit out there.
IIRC, the best young player is for a player 20 y/o and younger, the last two winners being Messi and Landon Donovan.
I actually had that as a side comment as first but thought it would be insane cuz he wasnt good either. If stekelenburg didnt have that 1 shocker against uruguay he would have had a great shot iyam
I dont know if 20 is the limit but i think it has to be your first cup and be fairly young, but you may be right
I'm not sure how they decide it now, as I found an article on the three finalists and Gio Dos Santos is one and he's 21 y/o, regardless Mueller is a lock. http://supersport.com/football/2010-world-cup/news/100709/Mueller_Dos_Santos_and_Ayew_shortlisted
golden boot: mueller golden ball: forlan goalkeeper: kingson young player: mueller dutch 1-0 off arjen robben
I agree with this except I would give the goalkeeper award to the Dutch kid. Other then that its spot on.
golden boot: sneijder golden ball: forlan goalkeeper: no one but kingson really deserves it but casillas will win young player: mueller
i think its cuz europe is weird and for these age restrictions just counts the year, not the day you were born like there are more than a few 22 year olds that play in the u21 euro championships because of this
The Best Young Player award is awarded to the best young player who was under 21 on Jan. 1 of the year. So any player born on or after Jan 1 1989.
