I've got

Top-scorer
Toni 33-1 ew
Thanks to Davidti for highlighting this on BZ a few weeks ago.
Klose 33-1 ew
I'm not so sure about this one now. It was struck a few weeks ago, but offers insurance if the Germans do well.

Top Premiership scorer
Ronaldo 40-1 ew
Thanks to Keyser for pointing me in this direction, albeit Chelsea are doing their best to f*ck it up with every day that passes.

Top team scorers
Srna/Croatia 8-1
Scores pens and takes free kicks. Prso likes to fall over a lot as well - which helps.
Rosicky/Czech Rep 8-1
I'm with those who think the Czechs might struggle so it might not take too many and he does score a few.
Dindane/Ivory Coast 11-2
I think Drogba deserves to be favourite for this but only by a point or two, not this many.
Rotan/Ukraine 10-1
Looks over-priced to me.
Bresciano/Australia 14-1
Was interested, but whoever posted the stats about his end of season goals in Italy helped sway me.

First round of matches top scoring team
Poland (v Ecuador) 20-1
Not a big bet but they score plenty against lesser opponents and since the organisers rather inconveniently didn't include a stadium in the Alps, Ecuador could be rubbish. Other teams could be a bit cagey in their first games.

Group forecast
Switzerland-France 11-2
Think it looks over-priced.
