ANYONE know when the golden ball will be handed out? Who is your pick?
It will be announced on Monday and my pick is definitely Canavaro of Italy ~ not because I'm his fan but because I think he was in excellent form throughout this tournament. Italy owes this cup to his defensive display which was great considering the fact that he did it without his regular defensive partner ~ Nesta !!
Reply:Its the Golden Shoe...not ball. It was handed out today:





THE ROAD TO GOLD: After 64 games packed with goals and non-stop action, Germany’s Miroslav Klose has carried off the adidas Golden Shoe award as the top scorer at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. The striker notched five goals in seven matches to take his total FIFA World Cup tally to ten.





Finishing in second and third place respectively were Argentina’s Hernan Crespo and Brazil’s Ronaldo, providing both with some consolation for exiting the tournament at the quarter-final stage. Although the two were tied on three goals and one assist each, it was Crespo who took the silver having spent just 305 minutes on the pitch compared with 409 for o Fenômeno.








Edit: My apologies...I was confused with Golden Boot/Ball/Shoe. I do not know when its awarded, but I'm rooting for Buffon.
Reply:I don't know........I was wondering myself. Someone told me monday or tuesday.
