Zidane wins the Golden Ball

Featured Replies

Terrorist....I've read on Materazzi's lips "Vaffanculo"( Fuck you)

Anyway....the reaction is not justified and the prize is absolutely undeserved

CANNAVARO HAD TO WIN IT!!

 

Oh come on, for once get your Italians down from the pedestal - winning the World Cup is obviously not enough for you -.-

mo: i think it was awarded to zidane, more or less to reward him on his amazing career... he's been france's stand out player, helped bring them to the wc finals, is retiring now, and has had a phenomenal career. i see why they gave him the golden ball.

 

 

True, good point.

He already won that prize in 1998, I don't give a damn about his career. Cannavaro played any single match just perfectly, so the prize should have gone to the one who deserved it this WC not his career

 

and I really hope Zidane won't go an take the prize cause he should just be ashamed of himself

 

@flying sparks: you're obviously not being objective

it's enough, It's enough, be sure of that, it's an incredible joy:)......but Cannavaro deserved an award cos he made us win......

i think that the decision to assign to Zidane the prize was taken yet before;)

Haha this is the BEST joke I've heard so far!

Guess who's the one not being objective here! I'm not French, I'm not German, and these were the teams I gave comments about the past few days.. I'm as objective as I can be - you're an Italian, YOU are the one who's not objective here!

Ok I give you proof then

 

Zidane first three matches..he didn't do anything. Against Spain something. Against Brazil, that was an abolsute brilliant match. Against Portugal, anything. Against Italy, not so much plus the headbutt

 

Cannavaro...just perfect in any match, we didn't take any goal apart from an own goal and the penalty yesterday

 

and please take in consideration just THIS WC

I didn't say that he played brilliant in this World Cup, and I never said that he deserved the Golden Ball, I just presumed WHY he could have won it, that's all..

many think zidane was the one who did deserve it this time round. fifa obviously did too, if they awarded it to him.

 

and if zidane was provoked, then it should be the one who provoked him who should be ashamed of himself. i am beyond 100% sure he acted on impulse from a comment from whoever it was. he would not do that for absolutely no reason.

 

flying sparks is obviously one of the most objective here...

I think both Mazeratti and Zidane should be ashamed, they both did something wrong.. To me, provoking and attacking other players verbally should be punished as well!

 

Thanks bonita, I appreciate it :) What's your real name, by the way?

FIFA obviously didn't want us to win..I'm still wondering where Blatter was as he was to the one who was in charge to award the prize

 

anyway just for their continously speaking about fair play he should not have won

exactly, they should both be ashamed. to pin it all on zidane is just silly.

 

haha, my real name is actually bonita :P and you?

FIFA obviously didn't want us to win..

 

the wc or the golden ball?

and what makes you say that?

Oh what a beautiful name :D But it's not typically Australian, is it? ;)

My name is Angelika, nice to meet you!

 

Well, when neither the FIFA nor any other fans wanted Italy to win, there might be a reason for it...

The WC and what makes me say this is Blatter and Platini behaviour

 

if no one wanted us to win all I can think is maybe they were all fearing us spaghetti-eaters like a German newspaper said. Well right now I couldn't care less

I love these sentences.. like "You are just jealous" or "You're just scared".. Love it :P

 

Well I guess the subject you should least discuss is football, it's senseless!

if they didn't want you to win that badly, the ref would have found another way of penalising italy within the game. to me it seemed like fair refereeing.

So, when it comes to blood, bonita, where are you from? Sounds like an Italian or Spanish name!?

So' date=' when it comes to blood, bonita, where are you from? Sounds like an Italian or Spanish name!?[/quote']

 

my parents are sri lankan, but my name is spanish. even my last name is portugese. so my entire name is neither australian nor sri lankan. :laugh1:

^ Well you're an all international girl then, great :D

I think it's great that you feel that committed and close to Australia then! :)

haha i guess you could say that :P

yeah, i love my country. this country has done so much for me, i was born here, raised here, and so... i love it here. :P

 

you live in vienna? i'd love to visit there one day

Yeah, I live in Vienna.. I don't like being an Austrian, but I really like Vienna :)

Ok I give you proof then

i absolutely agree with that .. Zidane played one fantastic game and two good games and the rest he was pretty average.

 

Cannavaro for me, has been sensational throughout the tournament for Italy and probably one of the main reasons why they have their name on the trophy.

 

The golden ball is decided from all the journalists votes at half time during the final, therefore the headbutt was after the vote.

yeah it looks beautiful :nice:

 

but why's that? about not liking being an austrian?

exactly, they should both be ashamed. to pin it all on zidane is just silly.

 

haha, my real name is actually bonita :P and you?

 

and you have to pin 98% of it on Zidane because things are said every 15 seconds between opposition players so he should have been used to it, especially with his experience.

oh so the journalists vote? interesting.

the journalists love him...

well here they do, from what i've read.
