Zinedine Zidane showed is true colours once more again by butting Marco Materazzi as an ox. His place is in a fence not amongst men.

Do you think Zidane deserved the adidas Golden Ball award after his untamed behavoir during the final?
No. As good of a player as he is, his actions prove that he is not deserving of such an award.

Reply:Yes he is a great player
Reply:No way, his stupid decision probably made his team lose the cup. He could have killed the guy he head-butted, so definatly no way.
Reply:Yes... he deserves it more than anybody else....
Reply:yes, he deserves it
Reply:you shouldn`t judge him by what he did last night. Look at his career and what he brought to the table. therefore he deserves teh GOlden Ball and I think it was great that he was the winner. its only and Opinion. The Italians were playing very physical and thats wasn`t the 1st time the provok someone. they have done it trough out the world cup.
Reply:yes he deserves.
Reply:yea I think he does
Reply:Oh yes ! Zinedine Zidane deserved the Adidas's Golden Ball ward, and so many awards as well !


The award was giving to him for being an excellent soccer player, and not for having a good character. Besides, nobody is perfect.





I don't justify what Zidane did because I think it was wrong (even if it is true-as a Brazilian TV or newspaper said- that Marco Materazzi had called Zidanes' sister: "a whore"), but I am sure as time passes, that people will remember Zidane for all his soccer glory, in spite of some "snappy moments".
Reply:No way...this guy is a scum bag...he has a history of poor sportsmanship and should have been kicked out of the league years ago.
Reply:Most of the ballots for the Golden Ball Award were cast by half time of the Final so Zidane's headbutt had no effect on who won the award. Regardless, it is not his headbutt that is the reason he didn't deserve to win but rather because he was not the best player in the tournament. Zidane probably won due to his reputation and the fact that he is retiring rather than his performance this time around. Canavarro was by far the best player in the World Cup. On a side note people who suggest Zidane is a normally calm person either do not know his tendencies or overlook the evidence. Zidane has a history of spontaneous violent outbursts on the field including other headbutting instances and stomping on players with intent to injure. .
Reply:Why do stupid always ask stupid questions? oh yeah, cuz their stupid
Reply:Golden ball award is for the most coveted player of the world cup and the person who has given his all and played a really major part in the success of his team





dint zidane do all that??





jus a small mistake to the end doesnt take off all that he did..





so YES!!





he deserves it...
Reply:That is a completely incorrect analysis of what went down between Materazzi and Zidane. Zidane is one of the coolest and calm players to ever play soccer. He is a picture of skill matched with humility. He lost his head after what Materazzi said, and as far as I've heard what Materazzi said, he deserved it and should be punished severely by FIFA. I also completely disagree with the referees referring to the Jumbotron to make the call, that was completely unprofessional and classless on THEIR part. Zidane was by far the best midfielder in the World Cup, and he is easily one of the legends of soccer: period. Don't let one isolated incident tarnish his legacy, he is the king of kings when it comes to soccer. I only hope that he doesn't leave on such a sour note.
