Zinedine Zidane!

Now, if that isn’t insane, ironic and hilarious, I dunno what is.

Not saying he doesn’t deserve it. He does!! But it’s still insane! (given yesterday’s redcard). Is FIFA feeling guilty? This is so awesome!

you’re right, cali. all eyes are on zizou more so than anyone else. (whether good or bad. it’s publicity nevertheless.)

it’s funny how the news is saying what a bad example zidane is, but have they totally forgotten about the dirty “performance” of the italian team?

Why this happened? Visit my blog for analysis.

Before the final I would have agreed. But after it, I think the prize should have been awarded to Cannavaro – but seems that FIFA and in general soccer can never award a defender (see what happened with Maldini or Baresi who both deserved the Fifa World Player several years ago).
