7) A three way Golden Boot Race
Golden Boot race will be hot
Trending
The Golden Boot race will be as hotly contested as ever, and of course there will be a host of strikers from across the globe vying to pick up the award by the end of the Tournament. The likes of Falcao, Romelu Lukaku, Mario Balotelli, Robin Van Persie, Edinson Cavani, Luis Suarez and even Wayne Rooney will be battling it out, however three names come to the fore as potential Golden Boot winners.
The first two are pretty standard. Messi and Ronaldo are contenders to be top scorers in any tournament they enter, and though neither has been able to really make their own stamp on a major tournament before, you would be a stupid man (or woman) to discount the potential goals that Messi and Ronaldo can score for Portugal respectively. The third name is Fred of Brazil. Even with a string of relatively average performances at the Confederations Cup, Fluminese striker Fred (formerly of Lyon) still managed to come out as top scorer. A natural finisher, who will get service from the creative midfield around him- Fred is my pick for the Golden Boot award in Brazil.
