2022 World Cup.

Can’t take them away they were the rules then.
I never mentioned free kick just penalty’s.

Just thinking out loud.
So Mbappe scores five worldie goals in the Euros .
But James Milner is drafted in by GS and scores six pens and wins the golden boot.
Is Milner the best goalscorer in Euros ?

Not sure you understand what the golden boot is for

It’s the “TOP” goalscorer

So at the end of the tournament the person who scored the most ( not the best ) wins the golden boot

And a goal can be scored from open play and set piece play


So yes if Milner scores 5 penalties and some scores 4 overhead kicks then Milner wins the Golden Boot - that’s just basic maths and basic football ?‍

It’s only been that way for decades

I thought it was most clean sheets but not sure the next criteria.

From Wiki
The Golden Glove award is awarded to the best goalkeeper of the tournament. The award was introduced with the name "Lev Yashin Award" in 1994, in honor of the late Soviet goalkeeper.[6] It was rechristened "Golden Glove" in 2010. The FIFA Technical Study Group recognises the top goalkeeper of the tournament based on the player's performance throughout the final competition.

Turns out it's not even clean sheets, they just make it up!

I thought that must be the case. Just give it to one of the guys in the final, as there is the photo opportunity at the end (although having seen some photo's circulating of Martinez, not sure that is what they were expecting )

You could have a keeper who gets 6 clean sheets but goes out in the semi in a penalty shootout (maybe even saving 2 or 3 pens, but his team mates all missing the target), yet the award is given to a keeper in the final, who may not have kept any clean sheets at all. Maybe even got at least one hammering in the group stages.

Is there an award for "Goal of the World Cup"?

 

[clubchamp98]

He did getting a booking so presumably there was one. Throwing/kicking the ball away?

He was booked for the penalty after the one he threw the ball away for not retreating to his line I think.

If he had been carded for the one previous what happens if he gets a red.?
You can’t substitute a red card so what happens then?
Genuinely don’t know.

So if someone just fancies a disscusion they don’t understand football.
It’s only you who understands.

Would it be too hard to just accept someone has a different OPINION?
No need to be a knob about it ?‍

Not at all - you just seem to be confused in regards what the Golden Boot is for when you started talking about Worldies and “Best” Goalscorer as opposed to what the Golden Boot is for which is who scores the most goals. Did you want to take away tap ins from 2 inches as well as that’s like fishing in a barrel ?‍

As for the worldies - there are normally Goal of the Tournament polls etc ?‍

Yes it’s an opinion you have but it’s beyond strange how someone can think that taking away legitimate goals from a top goals scored competition ?

My vote would go to Mbappe's second penalty in the final...

If he had been carded for the one previous what happens if he gets a red.?

Genuinely don’t know.

Interesting - if the keeper gets a red card in the shootout I imagine another player (outfield player) who was on the field at full time would have to take over in goal.

One of the outfield players go in. I'd love a ref to have the bottle to do this but I suspect not.

Hopefully, the shirt will be 3 sizes too big for them, the gloves being the same. They are also not allowed to tuck the shirt in. It must be loose to make it look even more outsized.

I may be having a flashback to previous times here

That makes sense but last time they gave it to Courtois who wasn't in the final so who knows. In 2014, 2010 & 2006 the winners' goalies got the award. Maybe they took it off Lloris in 2018 because he made that clanger in the final.

you hoping it is the captain by default? ;-)

Imagine that! Messi winning his final World Cup was a decent enough story, just imagine the one where he's forced to take over in goal in the shoot-out and consequently saves the final penalty!

Now I don’t understand and am confused
It not hard to understand Phil I don’t want to confuse you .
I don’t agree simple really.

Richalison for me.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

That could be funny. Messi is 5ft7" isn't he? He would be teeny tiny in goal

 

[Orikoru]

Richalison for me.

Richarlison's bicycle was good but that Mexican lad's free kick was out of this world too.

Yes that’s the problem they have in Ladies football.
Anything in the corners they can’t reach it.

Yes that was a cracker.
Croatian lads second in the QF .
But will always be did he mean it.!
