Top scorer for '06 finals

I've backed Adriano @ 12/1 on Betdaq.I know its a bit early but you get better odds if you do it early.

Podlowski @ 25/1 & Rooney @ 14/1 on Paddy Powers.You can get 16/1 Rooney for small money on Betdaq.

Odds here.

I fancy Van Nistelrooy myself. Totti great value @ 40/1.

I fancy Adriano myself.
I got Milan Baros at the Euro 04 at 50/1 - best win I've ever had.

Would go for Lukas Podolski.
Great stricker, plenty of skills and still only 20. Always in the starting 11.
Many clubs (Real, Bayern,...) would like to see him in their squad...

If Koln go down he might just leave....

I'd say Adriano, Baros, Shevchenko, Henry or Cisse (depending how France play).

Yeah agree but I think that he might leave anyway... Money, trophies...

Koln are a big club. They get somewhere around 40,000 a week and for a local lad who is captain there at his age, I really think it'd take alot to make him leave.

After all, when they were in the Bundesliga 2 he still got called up to the German senior squad so that's no reason to move to a bigger club.

I'd reckon Larsson is worth a punt too, going to be in top shape after not getting played much for Barcelona, this World Cup should be his last too

I do hope that you are right but if Cologne do go down (which I believe), a couple of players will leave and I fear he won't see any prospect of staying there.
1 FCK is a big club with a large supporter base in an outside Germany but unfortunately the club has been badly managed since they first were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga

I dont relaly think Adriano is that good of a shout really as he isnt guaranteed a place AFAIK Brazil play with one striker up now and Ronaldo seems to have that nailed down

I think Luca Toni has to be a great bet at 22/1.

He already has 22 league goals this season for Fiorentina and should start for Italy.

I'd been thinking of putting money on Kuranyi.
Does he not start for them?
17/02/2006, 12:18 PM

Gilardinho and Kuranyi look best value there.

Although i do think it'll be Ronaldo or Ronaldinho.

Longshots ----- Rebrov at 125-1 could put 4 or 5 past Tunisia and the Saudis
Nedved 100-1 Past his best but penalty and free kick taker.

David Villa for spain, and Luca Toni for Italy. I backed Ronaldo @16/1 last time out :D
17/02/2006, 2:07 PM
Risteard

Is it not Torres and Raul up front with Villa, Tristan and Reyes on bench?
+ Vieri and Gilardinho.
Is Luca Toni top scorer in Serie A still?

Loads of time to go and Villa os the form man...

got 50/1 England to win it and rooney top scorer straight after they got knocked out of euro 2004
It's a bet I dont mind losing but if it happens the €1000 will help to soften the blow

Yep, by 6 or 7 goals IIRC. He's on 22 I think.

Backed Ronaldo last time out @ 16/1 on his own then I doubled him as top scorer and Brazil to win it out at 40/1. Nice wad of cash after that one.

I dont fancy Adriano, too many goals going to be spread around that team for one guy to stick out.Crespo is playing pretty well these days @ 18/1.

Zurawski off Poland might be a good outside bet. 10 in his last 8 for Celtic including four goals today. A very crisp finisher.

i'd have to go for Luca Toni as well myself

the bookies are offering good odds on him because italy are usually low scoring, but they are managed by Lippi this time around, who is way more attacking minded than Trap, Zoff or Cesare Maldini were.

Pbviously a **** take. he's misses about 80% of chamces he gets with celtic. fair play for tha hat trick today but not going to be top scorer in the world cup

It's no urine extraction dodge, he puts them away. He has 12 goals in 13 starts and 2 sub appearances in the league and 15 goals in 17 appearances and 3 substitute appearances in total this season for Celtic. He scored 7 goals in 10 for Poland in their World Cup qualifying campaign and 2 in their last 2 friendlies. Oleg Salenko was top scorer in 1994 and he was not much use in Scotland. I did say as an outside bet.

what about Roy Makaay of Bayern Munich and Holland at an outsider for 50/1?? he's played at a lot of the grounds in Germany, and has scored plenty for Holland and was hot property at Deportivo?

Despite his record, he's hardly a regular starter for Holland, is he?

Was he the guy who scored 4 goals against Cameroon in a 5-1 win?? I think that'd explain that.

Most goals by a player in a finals match:
5 goals, by Russia's Oleg Salenko against Cameroon on 28/06/1994.

Well Germany has been most successful when they started with Podolski and Kuranyi up front, but as far as Klinsmann is concerned he wants to give everyone a go... I think their next friendly against the US will reveal some of his plans for the world cup including the choice for Germany's number 1 Lehmann or Kahn...(although Robert Enke from Hannover 96 is much better than both)

The problem is that the Italians will face tough opponents. No doubts about them winning or at least passing their group but I think they won't score many goals as will the Dutch in their respective group.

I do remember that Russia and Cameroon were in the same group as Brazil and Sweden so it must of been merely a consolation for Russia.

I've always found that strikers that have been out long term injured and come back before the championships usually do the trick.
Won with Ronaldo in 2002 and a packet on Baros in 2004

I'd go with Crespo because of the amount of chances Riquelme will create for him.
