The best thing is, this is the first World Cup where the player of the tournament is named after the final - most years, I think there's a chance Zidane would already have won the award. Last time around, they decided player of the tournament at half-time of the final. Imagine if they'd done that!

Who was named player of the tournament? I would have given it to the Italian captain Canavero.

Shocking! Zidane's still won it! What kind of message does that send?

Zidane won it. Jez. I know he played well in the game up and until he got sent off but he was non-existent in the group stages. Canavero has been outstanding in every game. I don't understand not giving it to defenders if they deserve it.

Your always remembered for your last action.
That other guy dropped like a rock didn't he, think that was a little acting or what? I'm not a soccer fan, but I did watch the highlites. Having said that you would think a guy with his age and experience would know better, what a moron.

The Guardian today reports rumours that Materazzi called Zizi a "terrorist", but that's all unconfirmed.
