Fabio Cannavaro, captain of Italy's world cup winning squad has been announced by FIFA winner of the Golden Ball, which is the player of the year award for soccer (FIFA world player of the year started in the early 90's and is not considered as prestigous as the Golden Ball). Although some may argue that Franz Beckenbauer was a defender and one it before Cannavaro, Beckenbauer was not a last line defender, but instead played more of a mid-defensive player.
Anyway, congrats Cannavaro for winning the Golden Ball!! Much deserved IMO.
Re: Real Madrid's Fabio Cannavaro becomes first defender in history to win Golden Ball
Congrats Fabio, you totally deserved this. It's about time a defender gets recognized for the Golden Ball.
And for Zidane, he's played like 2 and 3/4 good matches this year in the World Cup...and that's about it. His teammate Henry even deserves it more than him.

Canna deserves this 100%. Definately the player of this years WC. Why people talk about Zindane for this award this year I don't understand. And I bet Fabio looks very good in the pictures while holding the award.
