Who was your best player at the world cup?

Actually the best world player - according with FIFA WC and Golden Ball award ranking, having Zidane retired - is captain Cannavaro. And this is my pick.

He played 7 match - every minute from start to the end, never replaced. Having 2 match ended in e.t. he collects 690' played.

He was GREAT in every match. Italy failed against USA and AUS, with unimpressive playing. He has never failed.

He was outstanding in his box, fighting on every ball and never had a yellow card. His responsibilities become harder when Nesta - rated as one of the world best defenders - was out by injury since 3rd match.

Cannavaro was so far the best tournament player.

It's usual to have some trouble in spotting it out great plays performed by defenders. I guess many of us perfectly remember Del Piero's goal at 121' against Germany,

It was the best (and a perfect one) WC fast break attack (Italy rules in this kind of plays), but few noticed how it begins... here's a link to watch what Cannavaro does ;-)

At 121' when Italy was winning...

Take a look and enjoy it.

The best player this world cup in fact without doubt was Cannavaro of Italy

Cannavaro and Buffon. Both played beautifully in the World Cup.

The MVP is usually chosen from the Champs, but people decided to give it to the head butt man who did not deserve it. Everybody witnessed how Cannavaro tortured every single forward he faced. If it was not for him and Italy's stellar defense, the trophy would have gone somewhere else. He was undoubtedly the best player in Germany, but then again, people hated on Italy and voted for Zidane.

Cannavaro without a doubt is the best player of the world cup. He played EVERY second and played well unlike Zidane who DID NOT play every second and DID NOT play well every game. I think anti-Italians fixed and cheated Cannavaro.

ZINEDINE YAZID ZIDANE.

There is absolutely no doubt about that. Forget the headbutting Incident and you will find that he is the best player in the entire tournament. In the matches against Brazil and Spain he was simply magical. He was also impressive in the Portugal semi. He truly deserved the golden ball.

My best player in world cup was Zidane.

Without a doubt Zinedine "Zizou" Zidane - brilliant, just magical....

I think the best young player was probably Messi....

Cannavaro of Italy.........and to boot........played every second of his team's games without getting a yellow card.......that's 7 games including 2 that went the whole 120 minutes!!

Klose of Germany
