Sterling
Who will win the Golden Boot?

- Start date
Cristiano Ronaldo at a canter. Unless Sterling scores a hat-trick or Schick scores a brace which seems very unlikely, this award is Ronaldo's to lose. Pretty amazing considering his team was knocked out so early.
Yeah, but OG gets to play in every game, so it's hardly fair.
Schick now on 5 goals.
C'mon Schick, don't let that loser Ronaldo share your throne.
Hope he gets another since Ronaldo has an assist. Love when an international tournament has someone unexpected as the top scorer.
Are they counting the assist if it’s level on goals?
Maybe I'm imagining things, but didn't penalties scored come into it when two players are tied?
Yeah, they introduced tiebreakers a few years back so it goes to assists then fewest minutes meaning Ronaldo will beat out Schick as things stand.
I don’t understand why it can’t be shared if equal.
Pens should come before assists, imo.
It's usually pens first. Why did they change that?
Me too, it's ridiculous. I get the point, they are trying to pick the very best, but really who is the best scorer: Goals in less minutes, or goals against lesser opposition? Was Salenko equal to Stoichkov in 94?
There is just no way to make it fair like that.
Kane has a chance now.

If I were putting money on it, I wouldn't think Ronaldo or Schick are getting to be budged off the top.
I guess there's a slight possibility of Sterling, Kane or Dolberg scoring 2 or 3 in the last couple of matches. Realistically, though, the semis and final are probably going to be too cagey for that to happen.
The Spanish and Italian players would need an incredible string of games to get anywhere close. But you never know.

Hoping Kane gets it ….(could also be that England wins EURO 2020)
Come on Dolberg!
Spurs will be hoping he does too
Why?
So does Sterling to be fair.
How funny would it be if Morata scored a few more goals and ended up with the golden boot. Morata. 
Not impossible though.How funny would it be if Morata scored a few more goals and ended up with the golden boot. Morata.
Didn't Eder score against France in Euro 2016 final?
Also Morata scored some important goals for RM and Juventus in CL, isn't impossible at all to think that he can sneak some goals against Italy and England/Denmark...and then get back to being shit the whole season at his club like he has been since 4 years ago.
Not fecking funny at all !!How funny would it be if Morata scored a few more goals and ended up with the golden boot. Morata.
Though extremely unlikely, given he’d have to score a hat-trick (at least) in the final, probably against England who as yet have not conceded a single goal.
no way, Jorginho if Italy win Euros.
Maybe Kane if England win.
Do you know what the golden boot is?
I really don't think Jorginho is gonna score 6 goals in the final somehow.
you are cruel strict but fair . My bad, obviously I was thinking about the "Ballon d'Or"
strict but fair . My bad, obviously I was thinking about the "Ballon d'Or"I think it's safe to say now that it'll be one of these:
I still don't think Schick or Ronaldo are getting knocked off the top.

It’s there for Hurricane to win it
Italy's defence will be too good on Sunday. Might as well give Ronaldo and Schick the golden boot now.
It's going to be the first time Ronaldo has ever won the golden boot at an international tournament. The best he's ever done previously is the silver boot in 2016 (which for some reason counted assists as well as goals). Anyway, it's amazing Ronaldo can still do this at his age.

Cheeky hat trick for Kane anyone?
