    Cannavaro Wins Golden Ball!

    Fabio Cannavaro, whose official web site is powered by Goal.com, will be named the winner of the Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or) as Europe's top footballer. The announcement will be made official on November 27.

    The Real Madrid defender took the world by storm over the summer at the World Cup, where he led a staunch Italian defense that was the backbone to Italy's World Cup triumph in Germany.

    Thierry Henry had emerged as an early frontrunner for the honor during the tabulation of journalists' votes, per a Goal.com report last week, but Cannavaro, who played last season with Juventus, overtook the Frenchman, who finished third, and Azzurri and former Juve teammate Gianluigi Buffon, who finished second, for the honor. Barcelona's Ronaldinho won the award last year.

    By winning the award, Cannavaro becomes the first Italian to be so honored since Roberto Baggio won it 1993.

    In addition to Cannavaro and Baggio, three other Italians have won the Ballon d'Or: Omar Sivori (1961), Gianni Rivera (1969), and Paolo Rossi (1982).

    YYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!

    good for him, well deserved

    i think it was kind of a karimi type deal, they were the best player in the major tournament, they both got robbed, but to make up for it they both got the big award

        No Cannavaro is going to win Ballon D'Or or European player of the year not the best player at the world cup.

                      Of course I would agree with you.

                      But mainly it's cause he was spectacular in the World Cup and Juventus' best defender which led them to 2 Serie A titles, the second which was taken away becuase of the managers corrupt policies, although he Juve played the best in the league.
