Subject: Sent-off Zidane named best player

Written By: Philip Eno on 07/10/06 at 7:07 am

Zinedine Zidane won the Golden Ball award for the World Cup's best player, despite being dismissed for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the final.

France captain Zidane polled 2,012 points in the vote by journalists mostly carried out at half-time.

The midfielder, 34, beat Italians Fabio Cannavaro (1,977 points) and Andrea Pirlo (715 points) in the ballot.

He scored a penalty early on in the final but was sent off in extra time as France went on to lose on penalties.

I don't know what Zidane heard that made him react that way (and I would be curious to know as someone else said in another thread) but it made a really bad impression on me. He may be good but I don't agree with him named the best player after that.

FYI:  Don't ever talk about a Frenchman's sister :P

Why Zidane headbutted that Italian guy
