In the last six editions there never was a player who can score more than five goals in a European Cup. Who will grab the title of fertile EURO 2012 player, and how torehannya?
Until now three games remaining competition: two semifinals and one final. That is, the maximum a candidate's top scorer had a chance two more times to increase the coffers of his goal.
Currently, with three goals that have been made, Mario Gomez (Germany) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) is the most likely. The team they still survive, while Alan Dzagoev (Russia) and Mario Madzukic (Croatia), which also gain three goals, was to lift a suitcase in the group phase.
Actually there are many other players who had a chance to win the Golden Shoe trophy in the tournament. Call it Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso and CescFabregas, Spanish trio has been panning for two goals.
All semi-finalist teams players were actually likely also to be top scorer. That will depend on how many goals he could print in the semifinal, plus how much more if his team to the final as well.
In the history of European Cup, a record number of goals that carved a top scorer is nine (9) in the name of Michel Platini (France) at EURO 1984. That figure is estimated to be very difficult to break. Platini made in five games, including two hat-trick.
Under nine goals are the five goals, which are created in the 1988 edition, 1996, 2000, and 2004. While the number of goals scored at Euro 2008 top scorer, David Villa (Spain), is four.
