After day 3:

3-Ruiz (GUA)
2-Donovan (USA)

1-Shelton (JAM)
1-Fuller (JAM)
1-Williams (JAM)
1-Hue (JAM)

So the first set of games is complete. As for a Best XI so far, Donovan and Ruiz definitely belong on there, as well as Panama's goalkeeper. Birchall for Trinidad. Jamaica and South Africa both played very well tonight. Didn't watch closely enough to single out individual players though.

[Guatefc]

Execlent thread, if ruiz gets as many oppurtunties he might set a new tournment record for goal, is he the first to get a hatrick in this tournement history? Yeah landon is the beast deserves to be on bestXI,he is my favorite player from us jus execlent at running at defenders, want to see more out of dempsey , panama gk right now is bestXI but well see when they play honduras what happens..

[scaryice]

I don't think anyone can beat Zague in 1993, or Mexico's entire tournament for that matter:

Mexico 9-0 Martinique
Mexico 1-1 Costa Rica
Mexico 8-0 Canada
Mexico 6-1 Jamaica
Mexico 4-0 United States

Zague had scored in every game, includine 7 against Martinque and 2 against Canada.

[grasskickin]

donovan will win it

Borgetti will miss the QF against Colombia due to yellow cards, so he looks unlikely to win the Golden Boot. Panama probably will have a tough time with South Africa, but Tejada has a good chance. Landon looks like the likely winner though. He gets to play Jamaica and should score against them.

1-own goal

The USA now looks like the clear favorites, and either Donovan or Beasley should win the Golden Boot. Tejada also has a good chance, although Panama is probably the underdog against Colombia. It will be interesting to see if any player can get more than 4 goals, which was only done in 1993.

65 goals in 22 games, for an average of 2.95 per game.

1-own goal

(changed so that the players in bold are the guys left)

73 goals in 24 games, for an average of 3.04 per game. It's been an exciting tournament. It looks like Donovan or Beasley should claim the Golden Boot, as the USA should have an easier time with Panama than with Honduras. Although, Tejada has played very well and could snatch it. He definitely deserves to be in the best 11, maybe even player of the tournament.

[reddog694]

I haven't seen EVERY game, but my goalkeeper of the tournament (and maybe even player) has been Panama goalie Jaime Penedo (eventhough Keller saved the U.S. many times).

Any others thoughts?

Has to be one of those two.

[Reycd]

question.. what if no one surpasses the 3 goals who gets the golden boot? Ruiz for doing it in less games?? or does it go to the winning team?
