PaulHartman71 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 might seem like a stupid question but just wondering if goals in that game count towards the top scorer in the tournament. got a bet on Messi to be top scorer and thinking my only chance of it coming off are Argentina going out and him banging a hat-trick or something against a deflated Brazil.

Yes, they count, the 3rd place playoff is part of the tournament as much as all other games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vynal Seven Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 3rd place game is usually a great game as teams have nothing to fear Unless you're the host nation and got tanked 7-1 in the semi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhawk Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Unless you're the host nation and got tanked 7-1 in the semi. In which case, the thing you have to fear most is probably snipers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adhikapp Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Muller also won his golden boot in the 3rd place match too if i can remember correctly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenJ Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Still silly how the golden boot is awarded to the player with the most assists in case of a tie. That **** has absolutely nothing to do with it. Award it based on minutes on the pitch if you absolutely HAVE to have a tie-breaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
