Well he was one of the few players that really stood out in this tournament, had a huge advantage in his team making it to the final. I think some of the Germans were pretty impressive too.
But congratulations to Zidane, hopefully this will be remembered as his final hurrah to football and not the ugly scene in the final that got him sent off. |

I don't think that 1 really great game (Brazil) makes an MVP. Should have been Cannavaro.

That's it, give him a prize, too.
Not only did he ONLY play ONE good game (against a mediocre Brazil), but he was also the author of the most violent action of the World Cup. Yes, Mr Blatter, I know you were sad that Italy won (you even deserted the awarding of the Cup), but you could've been more realistic here... I would have accepted any other of the ten nominations for the golden ball, but NOT ZIDANE. I, too, think Cannavaro was the best player of the tournament. He was always there, CONSISTENT (not like Zidane), he never had a lack of FORM (neither physical, nor emotive - not like Zidane). But, Blatter....well, that'll give him some consolation!!! |

Yeah, don't quite agree with that prize either.
He was an awesome player and one of the best (if not the best) of his generation, but he didn't glow, in my opinion, in this WC, that much to deserve the prize. I'd give it to Cannavaro or Buffon. Besides, if C. Ronaldo wasn't given the Best Young Player award for having lacked fair-play, despite having all the conditions to win it and a lot of talent (as FIFA said), what criteria was used now for giving the Golden Ball to Zidane? |

For me, Cannavaro is the player of the tournament.
He also represents the mighty "denfense" character of this championship. Zidane was one of the best players this game ever seen, but he wasn't the best in this tournament. Even in the french team, I would prefer Vieira. |

It has benn Podolski, because he scored 3 goals and helped his team imo better than Ronaldo, but you are right. The argument leaves the next big ? on Zizous award! |

Zidane its a great player but where is Zizu fair-play to win the award.
FIFA do you know the meaning of fair-play and sportman? I think you dont. |

i think it was a silly decision to award Zidane it...he did outshine a lot of players,but for me there were far better players than him but because these players only defend it seems they hardly get a mention....
how about these players?? Cannavaro (Italy) Gattuso (Italy) Lahm (Germany) Klose (Germany) Pirlo (Italy) Ballack (Germany) |

FIFA's President is french, enough said.
The prize is ridiculous, Cannavaro or Pirlo should have clearly won... |

I might be wrong but I thought this was decided by media pundit votes, not by FIFA.

What the hell did Ballack do this tournament? Most of the time he was lazing about in midfield losing possession!
Zidane deserved it. I thought Klose should of won it though. |

"The voting for the award was carried at half-time in the final, which France went on to lose on penalties. Zidane, 34, topped a poll of journalists covering the event with 2,012 points, ahead of Italian pair Fabio Cannavaro (1,977) and Andrea Pirlo (715)." The Guardian
Doest it satisfy all the conspiracy theorists ?? |

In Portugal we use to say: things cant be good for greeks and trians at same time!
There's always antagonic opinion about the things. Personally i think there's 3 kinds of players: The sh!t ones, the medium ones and the ones like Zidane. He simple makes everything he wants with a ball. Very strong and an awesome tecnique. I think its deserved! |

I think we all know what a magician he was. But that is Ronaldinho too. Would you agree with him winning the golden boot? Zidane played awesome against Brazil. The rest was more average to nice, but not great. Cannavaro played an outstanding tournament. It seems as if he has 6 legs or something. And if the tournament is dominated by the defense in the end, you should pay respect to that. If you like it or not.

Oh yeah. Right. (DE Rossi, btw). Of course. You REALLY believe the elbow was worse. Most people don't agree with your decision, I think, and were absolutely shocked when they saw the TORERO (cornuto, we say in Italy), but were not so shocked about the elbow. Belis is right, that the prize was voted for at half time - just shows how STUPID FIFA IS. I mean, players like Pirlo, Cannavaro Henry and Vieira are still on the field, could still work some magic, and they vote before it all ends (as if it would've taken all that long). |

it's a shame and a bad teeching too for young generations.
if another player did that, he would be crucified and condemned: do you remember totti when he spit to poulsen? and de rossi who has been disqualified for 4 matches. they both admitted the error and were condemned not only by the rest of the world, but by italians too. Zidane played a great match against brazil, but also committed the most violent gesture throughout the whole WC. Blatter always speaks about the importance of fair play: and after all you elect him the best? Incredible. the WC has been dominated by gregarious players, all the stars (zizou, ronalidino, ronaldo, totti, nedved, ballack, figo, and so on...) failed in a way or another. there were a lot of good players (mainly defenders) in this WC, fair and with a great hearth: Cannavaro, Lahm, Lemhan, Buffon, Maniche, Gattuso, Ribery, ... cannot mention them all. somebody else should have won that title!!! |
