While the World Cup Final is going the come down to the wire on July 11, it looks like the Golden Boot award for the tournament’s top striker probably will too.

At the moment, Spain striker David Villa and Holland midfielder each have five and will of course be facing each other in the final on Sunday. However, close behind them are striker Diego Forlan of Uruguay and striker Miroslav Klose and midfielder Thomas Mueller of Germany with four each. These three players will be taking to the field in the third-place game on Saturday. Striker Luis Suarez of Uruguay has an outside chance with three goals. Suarez and Mueller each missed a game in the tournament due to a suspension for cards.

Sportsbook.com offers good odds on who will win the Golden Boot, Miroslav Klose to win for 5.50 (+450) is an interesting bet as there might be more goals in the match for 3rd place.

Wesley Sneidjer – Holland – Five goals

The 26-year-old Sneidjer has proved to be one of the worlds’ top players with his World Cup performance so far. He has five goals on 22 shots and the five-foot-seven inch midfielder has managed to head one in as well against the giant defence of Brazil. Sneidjer, who plays for Inter Milan in Italy, is excellent from long range as well as in the box as his powerful shots usually find the target. He’s also a fine playmaker. One of his goals was originally awarded as an own goal by Brazil’s Felipe Melo, but was later credited to Sneijder.

David Villa – Spain – Five goals

The 28-year-old Villa, who plays for Barcelona in Spain, has been deadly in the tournament so far and has scored five of his team’s seven goals. He also had a penalty kicked saved by Honduras and has had several other excellent scoring chances. Villa is a smooth striker who possesses a lot of finesse. He’s also dangerous from a distance, but scores the majority of his goals in close.

Miroslav Klose – Germany – Four goals

The 32-year-old Polish-born striker Miroslav Klose might have more incentive than anyone here as his next goal will tie him with Ronaldo of Brazil for the most World Cup goals ever with 15. He has scored five in each of the last two World Cups. Klose, who plays for Bayern Munich in Germany, is a powerful forward who scores most of his goals from close range through hard work.

Thomas Mueller – Germany – Four goals

The 20-year old Mueller has surprised a lot of people during the tournament with his poise and excellent finishing. The midfielder, who plays for German club Bayern Munich, adds a fine scoring touch to the team as he’s always in the right place at the right time in front of the net. He might have scored more if he didn’t miss the semi final against Spain. Mueller has his four goals on just eight shots on net.

Diego Forlan- Uruguay- Four goals

For those who have followed the 31-year-old striker’s career, they won’t be surprised at Forlan’s performance. He’s proved over the years he knows exactly where the net is, from in close and afar. Forlan, who plays for Atletico Madrid in Spain, has teamed up with fellow striker Luis Suarez to form one of the best scoring duos in the tournament.
