Why did Zinedine Zidane get the Golden Ball at this years cup?

Sure he and Henry single-handedly got France to the finals but he pretty much cost his team the cup by getting the red card in the finals vs. Italy. I mean Buffon should have gotten the Ball b/c he had 5 clean sheats this tourney. With only a own goal vs. U.S and the P.K. in the finals, which there was no way he going to be able to stop, he was perfect the entire tourney.

If it wasn't for him, nobody would be talking about it any more... Even among soccer fans, Instead of simply giving Italy credit for what they accomplished, all anyone's talking about is that butthead, Zidane.
Reply:Because the votes we're completed before the end of regulation play. Zidane got the red card after the votes were in(overtime). You can't take it back after votes are officially in otherwise it would have been another world cup corruption. Dispite Italy's own corruption problems

Reply:because zizden played the world cup like a reaal mvp, he brought back spack and a new talent to the game for his age.

Reply:He deserved it, now go on with your life
Reply:Zidane made France the team it was he made all players around him look good even Henry. Zidane had a bad start of the WC in the round robin and then his magic came back and if it wasn't for him France wouldn't of made the finals of the WC. so yes Zidane deserved the Golden Ball cause he simply was the best.
