?? where does this come from?

Apologies seens like it was a false alarm.

Same report on goal.com and yahoo sports. They all seem to come from a report from NUsport. I checked NUsport and today they're reporting that despit hip and back pain he should be fit for the final.

Cool, the dutch media didn't report it so you scared the shit out of me ....don't do it again before sunday!

If you're betting on the top goalscorer, remember that the 3rd/4th place playoff counts, and that could become a goalfest if both teams think 'sod this' and don't concentrate on defending a great deal. Forlan, Klose and Mueller are all on 4 goals.

fair point, I can't see anyone caring enough about it though Forlan might give it a good shot...Uruguay could easily win this as they must be happier finishing 3rd than the Germans will.

Klose will surely want to score for the all time record scorer?

[TheChipPrince]

Klose and Forlan both struggling at the mo.

[boldie]

Klose will surely want to score for the all time record scorer?

his team won't really care though...

[thetank]

His team will be too ready to comedy gift him an empty humidor after the match.

As a bet BTW; Sneijder and Villa are both on 5 goals. Golden boot betting has Villa (who is just an outfield player and who will have several people on him) @4-6 and Sneijder (Who takes our free kicks and penalties) @3-1. Surely there's a bit of value there?

Surely Holland (Now unbeaten in 25 matches and having won the last 9 or 10) are also too big @ 11-4 and there should be money coming for them on the last day making this a decent trading opportunity?

I am obviously biased but I'll take 2-1 Holland @ 14-1 and draw-Holland @ 15-2..bit of value there, me thinks.

Spain deserve to be favourites as, on paper, they are the class act...but our record can't be ignored, I think. Especially sine V Bommel and De Jong will be on Xavi and Iniesta and make their life very very difficult indeed.

I thought if the topscorers tie they both win, so surely 3-1 on WS is huge considering Villa just need to not score for WS to win via a tie?

Not tie-breaker at half odds?

tie is a deadheat isn't it? stake divided by the number of people who tie.
So if Klose, Muller and Forlan all get to 5 it won't be good news.

FML someone told me if they tie, both win!

so what happens to my bet if neither player score and both finish on 5 goals, and spain win?

i have Spain/villa double @ 16/1?

If both WS and DV finish on 5 you half your stake and get 16/1.
If Klose, Muller or Forlan get to 5 your stake would get divided further.

The bet would be settled as if you had half as much on it as you did.
