Checked there and Torres wins it.

"If players finish level on goals:
The following criteria are applied, in this order, to determine who wins the adidas Golden Shoe:
a) highest number of assists;
b) fewest minutes played."

Spain were perennial under achievers, look at them now, what a team and accomplishment. Amazing.

Poor that the golden boot winner only has 3 goals though, should be double that

He only started 2 games.

If Torres had played he would have got double that. On the face of it it isnt that bad. 3 goals in what? 4 to 6 games - not that bad. 1 in 2 ratio at worst and 1 in 1.5 ratio at best

Not having a dig at Torres, more towards the rest of the strikers letting someone who played as little as Torres win it, with measly 3 goals

Agree with the sentiments of the board.

Spain have been boring on the whole, but they were breathtaking tonight! That is why it is so frustrating because they are so good but they only chose to turn on the style tonight. And I'm sorry, they would still win playing with a striker.

Also goes to show how overrated tactics can be at times. Goes without saying but Spain win because they are simply head and shoulders above everybody else.

I just hope their win doesn't cause others to copy this style of play and play without a striker!!!

And I still cannot believe Llorente didn't even get a kick!!

Was anyone else bored? Fair play to Spain though.

Not tonight. Thought they were incredibly boring against France and Portugal, but they turned on the style tonight. They attacked with purpose tonight.

I was bored alot in the second half. Up until about Torres' goal

 

[Mumorn]

bit tinkled off with paddy power too. I had Germany to win and Spain won which meant money back as it was a special.. i havent got my money back and they are now saying that they never done the offer..

So are we seeing the end of strikers? Or am I overreacting? As a striker I hope it's not the case.

You'll have to reinvent yourself as an attacking midfielder. Then you'll definitely get that Premier League move.

You're pretty safe until everyone can pass it round like Spain and Barcelona.
