bornfree. zidane was chosen at half time of final match. everybody knows he wont have won if it was chosen after tha match. even when it was chosen at half time there was not much difference between him and cannavaro. anyway i have nothing against zidane. if you could go back few days in sajha i said if any player that could beat italy it is going to be zidane because he made mockery of so called brazilian stars. i have been a admirer of him. but i cannot defend his act in final though nomatter what italian said to provoke him. bottom line zidane won golden ball, ITALY WON THE WORLD CUP.
