World Cup Golden Boot

Gonzalo Higuain is the hot favourite in the World Cup 2010 Golden Boot Betting Odds following his hat trick against South Korea. The Argentinean striker showed his goal poaching instincts to grab the first hat trick of the World Cup 2010 and he moves ahead of Diego Forlan who grabbed a brace last night against South Africa.

Hat Trick Hero Gonzalo Higuain Moves Clear Of His Rivals

Gonzalo Higuain has been shortened to just 9/4 with Stan James and shorter elsewhere and he represents the new 5/1 World Cup favourites with Bet365, Argentina. Argentina have looked a side who can create plenty of chances and they could go far in this World Cup so there is no reason to think Higuain can't score the four goals or so more that will be needed, especially as he still has to face Greece in the group stages. It had been feared this World Cup would turn into a borefest but it looks as though the second round of group matches is changing all that. His team mate Lionel Messi has drifted out to 14/1 with Paddy Power after failing to score in two games so far for his country.

Miroslav Klose And Diego Forlan Second Favourites After Goalscoring Starts

Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski both got on the scoresheet in Germany's first match, Klose is now just 12/1 with Bet365 and Paddy Power whilst Podolski is now 20/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power. Diego Forlan looked good against South Africa, netting twice, and that head start over many has led to him being cut to 12/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power. Other favourites such as David Villa (now 14/1 with SkyBet), Luis Fabiano (now 20/1 with Paddy Power), Cristiano Ronaldo (now 33/1 with SkyBet) and Wayne Rooney (now 16/1 with Bet365) all failed to score in their opening matches and need a good show in their respective second games if they are going to be challenging Gonzalo Higuain.
