It doesn't actually say in the rules that I can see that 3rd place play off counts, but it doesn't say that it doesn't, it just says 'this tournament', play off place is part of the tournament and obviously odds reflect that it does.

both 8 goals
Messi 4 assists, Mbappe 3 assists

if that's level, then fewest minutes played wins Golden Boot

Messi 620 minutes
Mbappe 608

After Mbappe basically blamed Descamps for the exit, I wouldn't be surprised if Mateta starts instead of him, and we know Messi will play the whole match in the final.

24 years on here and you are seriously asking if a tournament game counts for the golden boot?
Report tobermory July 16, 2026 4:59 PM BST
It has always counted.

Though even Betfair themselves didn't know in 2010 and settled the Uruguay players as losers after the semi final (and had to reverse it)

thats the madness of assists messi must have got on for  rolling a ball 5 yd to fernandez

The golden boot is ridiculous , what has assists and minutes played got to do with goals , just because they want 1 winner , nothing wrong with top goalscorer .

I was always under the impression 3rd/4th place game doesn't count... Confused

You're clueless then Emitdeb..

I remember getting done by Davor Suker in the 3rd place play off, when my pick Vieri was leading at 33/1.. Not sure why people are moaning about the rules, as there is a top scorer market, if you don't want assists to have an effect..

10-8 to Mpappe with 4 assists each atm.

Nothing to do with betting whatsoever , the fifa award should be for whoever scores the most goals and thats it , if there is a tie then there is a tie .

Kind of never know what counts and what does not, with bookies and even on hear.

Fifa rules can change too, from tournament to tournament.

No harm asking and looking up definative rules, before costing yerself cash.
