I'm sorry, I thought this was the World Cup Thread, as the thread title would indicate.

DID cas ever end up picking a team?

should be a good race for the golden boot.  i hope either james rodridguez keeps it or messi goes off.  mueller is pretty darn likely though, since the tiebreaker is assists

Shouldn't it be some formula in which it's divided by # of minutes played? Obviously it couldn't be that simple because of someone who played five minutes and scored a goal but it should be something along those lines, right?

they should probably rename the awards or something to make it more clear.  golden boot is for goals, golden ball is for best overall player

The match-saving interception came at a painful price, as Mascherano explained.

"I stretched my anus on that move," the Argentina midfielder said. "The pain, it was terrible."
