Müller had more assists, so the prize goes to him.

From the FIF web site ([urlnp=http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/newsid=1272888/index.html]LINK[/urlnp])
adidas Golden Boot: Thomas Muller (Germany) - 5 goals, 3 assists
Thomas Muller's opening goal for Germany against Uruguay in the third-place play-off proved enough to earn the Bayern Munich starlet the adidas Golden Boot. Muller finished on five goals at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, but claimed the top scorer accolade thanks to no fewer than three assists, leaving him ahead of Spain marksman David Villa and Dutch hitman Wesley Sneijder, both of whom finished on five goals but with only one assist apiece.
Forlan won the "Golden Ball" for best player of the tournament.

Bookies don't give a shit about assists and pay out on all top scorers, though your stake is divided by how many winners there are.
I had Forlan at 75/1 and got my winnings straight away.

Whats your point? Forlan was still joint top scorer in the tournament!
Re: Forlan wins golden ball
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 1:01 pmI'm really glad FIFA made this decision and didn't get sucked into giving it to a "star." Forlan dragged Uruguay into fourth place and fully deserves this.

But he didn't get FIFA's prize for top goal scorer... I personally think that everyone who ended up on five goals are joint top scorers, but the expression used earlier in the thread was "to wintop scorer", which I don't think he did. To win there needs to be a prize, i.e. the Golden Boot. This is pure semantics, though.

LOL you being serious?
Earlier in the thread someone was talking about winning a bet for Forlan being top scorer, and was told he hadn't won it. When in fact he had. The prize for forlan winning top scorer, it would seem, is this posters winnings ;-)
