Müller needs just one goal to earn the Golden Boot, since he has notched more assists (three) than Rodriguez (two).
Messi, meanwhile, will likely need a hat-trick to catch Rodriguez, though he could also earn the award with two goals and two assist.
André Schuerrle will need a hat-trick to surpass Rodriguez, but likely won't even start the final.
The referee for today's match will be, Nicola Rizzoli.
This appointment may be controversial. This is the same referee that never gave fouls against Argentina. In the game Belgium V Argentina, Messi could of earned at least three fouls.
As for Howard Webb, the best referee, earning the right for the final, I don't think so. If it would of been Germany V anybody else, yes maybe, but with Argentina, no.
