Who gets it?

Odds from Sportsbook

I threw in anyone else just in case someone has some random 4-5 goal day tomorrow and passes everyone up

Isn't there a few at the top with 5?

Muller, Forlan, Villa, Sneijder all at 5

The two in the finals got the edge because obviously they still have a game to play.
The odds I got may have been set last night though (didn't look that close), so at that point Forlan and Muller were still at 4.

So, what happens if the two in the finals don't score a goal and there is a 4 way tie with 5 goals?

How is it decided?

Unoficially from wikipedia
Since 1994, if there is more than one player with the same amount of goals, the tie-breaker goes to the player who has contributed the most assists (with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such). If there is still more than one player, the tie-breaker goes to the player who has played the least amount of time.

Heads up tk421, I found updated odds that reflect the semifinal already being played. Since you hadn't played, I adjusted.

Yeah, I've already got all my cash on other bets. I'm hoping for the Reds to come through for me tonight so I can bet on this. :)
Or the Indians, if I'm lucky.

What do you mean?
There is a difference between the boot (most goals) and the ball (best player), if that's what you meant.

I took Muller with those odds! All I need is Sneijder and Villa to be shut-out!

BTW, Forlan is eliminated. Muller is the only guy who can win who isnt playing anymore.

Good point. I saw Muller had more assists, and didn't even put two and two together.
