Golden Boot tips, odds and free bets
Luis Fabiano – Brazil – 8/1 Will Hill
Luis Fabiano has become the number one striker for Brazil in recent years and his goal record for Brazil is pretty amazing. He was top goalscorer at the Confederations Cup, he was amongst the top scorers in the South American Qualifying zone, beaten by just one player, and in all probability he is going to be the World Cup Golden Boot. He also takes penalties, plays in a team that scores plenty of goals and creates plenty of chances and importantly he plays for a team that should reach the final, giving him the most amount of games to score in. The best odds on Luis Fabiano are with Expekt, who also offer a free £25 bet to new customers. Visit Will Hill for £30 in free bets when you bet just £10
David Villa – Spain – 6/1 William Hill
David Villa was top scorer at Euro 2008 and it was no surprise given the amount of chances his midfield creates for him. He is arguably the best finisher in the game and it is interesting he managed to become Golden Boot at Euro 2008 despite getting injured in the second round. He is sure to be amongst the top scorers and best case scenario for his chances could be if Spain are beaten in the semi final, allowing him to play in the third place playoff, which is often an open and high scoring game.

Fernando Torres – Spain – 13/1 Expekt
Fernando Torres is a leading goalscorer in the Premiership and will also be scoring goals for Spain at the World Cup. He doesn’t look a great value bet as one of the favourites though as he is regularly outscored for his country by teammate David Villa and he rarely scores away goals for Liverpool so playing in South Africa may not suit him as much as others. The best odds on Fernando Torres are with Expekt, who offer 13/1. Visit Expekt
Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal – 18/1 Bet 365
It looked for much of the qualifying campaign that Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the world’s best player, would not be at the World Cup with Portugal struggling to qualify. They eventually made it through the playoffs and although Ronaldo will probably score a couple of goals, Portugal are not the force they have been and probably won’t play enough games to produce a World Cup Golden Boot. The best odds on Ronaldo to be Golden Boot are with Bet 365, who are offering £200 in free bets. Visit Bet 365 for £200 in free bets
Wayne Rooney – England – 15/2 BWin
Wayne Rooney has been in great goalscoring form for England over the past couple of years. It looked as though all of his striking instincts had been numbed by being played out wide for his club but since Ronaldo left Man Utd he has played a more central role and has scored more goals for his club and country. England will need to reach the semi final if he is to be the Golden Boot, but that is very possible and he rates a more than fair bet given his sensational form towards the end of the season for Man Utd. German owned online bookmkaer BWin offer the best odds on Rooney of 15/2. Visit Bwin for a £30 free bet
Lionel Messi – Argentina – 9/1 Will Hill
Messi was voted the European Player Of The Year in November and is currently the best player on the planet. Argentina on the other hand are not really good enough at the moment to win the World Cup and whilst Messi should score a few goals, his team may jeopardise his chances. However, Messi's sensational goalscoring form for Barcelona last season makes him an interesting choice. William Hill have the best odds of 9/1 on Lionel Messi -Visit Will Hill for £30 in free bets when you bet just £10
Didier Drogba – Ivory Coast – 50/1 William Hill
The Ivorian powerhouse is sure to get some goals for Ivory Coast at the World Cup and he is a more than fair price if you are backing each way. Ivory Coast are well capable of reaching the quarter finals which means he would play in five games, enough to place at least in the scoring charts.
