Tuesday 08 June 2010 at 11:16
Wayne Rooney is the third favourite currently in the World Cup Golden Boot Betting Odds, not far behind the current favourite David Villa and his Barcelona team mate Lionel Messi who is the second favourite in the World Cup Golden Boot Odds.
Rooney Currently Third In The Pecking Order And Looking A Good Bet
Wayne Rooney scored on Monday in an England shirt in England's warm up match in South Africa and if he regains his form from qualifying, which saw him score nine goals in nine games, he would look an outstanding bet in the World Cup Golden Boot Odds he is currently rated at 11/1 with Paddy Power and 888Sport. David Villa is expected to give him most to do, Villa has an outstanding scoring record for Spain and was Golden Boot at Euro 2008, he certainly looks worth a bet at 8/1 with Paddy Power, Ladbrokes and William Hill. Lionel Messi is also amongst the favourites at 10/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power but he doesn't seem to score as many at international level and a better bet could be Brazil's Luis Fabiano, who was top scorer at last year's Confederations Cup in South Africa, Fabiano is 12/1 with Ladbrokes and Paddy Power.

Wayne Rooney Expected To Be England's Hero This Summer
It is no surprise that Wayne Rooney is the favourite to be England's top scorer at the World Cup, he has long been England's biggest goal threat and you can currently get 6/4 with Paddy Power and SkyBet that he outscores his team mates, England's second highest scorer at the World Cup is set to be Frank Lampard according to the bookies, he is second favourite to be England's top scorer at 6/1 with Coral. Peter Crouch looks best of the three other strikers, he is 7/1 with Boylesports ahead of Jermain Defoe who is 10/1 with Bet365 and Emile Heskey who is relatively unfancied at 18/1 with Boylesports. There is a huge discrepancy over the odds of Joe Cole who scored this week, he is just 6/1 with Stan James but as big as 25/1 with Paddy Power.
