Salenko was top scorer in 1994 as far as I know. It does not always work out that they have to reach the last four. I am thinking for value bet the Shevchenko one stands out for me.

Ronaldo.
Oh, I thought it was Klose. I think he scored something like 5 goals in the groupstages (again, I could very well be wrong).

He did, all headers too I think. But the goals dried up as Germany played better sides and Ronaldo passed him with a goal in the semi and final for 7. Rivaldo was the other danger with 5, he clipped the post in the final too before Ronaldo scored.

I reckon one of the portugeusers is worth a shout, Pauleta 25/1 with PP has been very prolific at PSG and in the qualifiers. He did'nt have a good Euro '04 but could have been down to home pressure and the like. Iran & Angola are rubbish, Mexico might be half decent. Cristiano Ronaldo is 100/1 and he has a very good goalscoring record for a midfielder and Big Phil likes to play a 4-3-2-1. The only thing that might go against them is that they could be playing the Argentina/Holland group runners up in the Second round.:confused:

Surely in that case, Jared Borgetti should have a real chance too seeing as Portugal don't have the best defence.

His international record suggests so but I don't think Mexico are as good as their FIFA ranking implies. If you speak to any Iranians or Angolans even they will tell you that they fancy getting a result out of Mexico more than Portugal.

Maybe so but Borgetti is a predatory striker, along with Adolfo Bautista, and they will create a lot of chances through Medina.

Thats certainly what the Iranians and Angolans on my road think. Cocky *******s.

What road in Cork do you live on Soko?
Think backing a Mexican might be pushing it a bit too far lads.

Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgaria) and Oleg Salenko (Russia) were the joint top scorers in the 1994 World Cup with 6 goals each.

Finally went with Shevchenko at 25/1.
Repeating some of the points already made above, I reckon this is good value because apart from being the world-class player that he is:

He痴 captain he値l surely start all games.
Top scorer for Ukraine in the qualifiers.
He値l have the best part of 90 minutes against a Tunisian defence.
He値l have the best part of 90 minutes against a Saudi defense.
He値l take most of their free-kicks.
He値l surely take their penalties.
If they make it through to the last 16 it could be against the Swiss.
