he got injured and was out for a while, but now he's back and as good as ever.

Actually, in the last season, Gigi Buffon played well, but his goalkeeping was, according to me, overshadowed by Lehmann's antics in goal. He was truly incredible, and the only blot on the season was his sending off in the Champions League final. I believe that the award should go to one of these 2 keepers. It's high time their jobs are given their due recognition.

is gianluca pessotto a former Juventus player and now on management team. They said he was depressed about the scandal that affected Juventus and more generally the italian football\n\nToday the italian players dedicated the victory to him: see link below\n\nthey friendly call himm pessottino (that u can read as tiny pessotto)

I would just like to point out this to you:\n\nBuffon can't save penalties, I've seen him save one penalty in these past years. \nHe isn't always top-class in championship, he plays well on the international level, but he plays like any other professional goalkeeper when he plays for Juventus. Even in the latest games Buffon didn't play well, now you can't give an award to someone who played well only during the World Cup. He was amazing during the WC, no doubt, but he's not always like that. Cech wasn't as good, but he's very constant in the quality of his game, in the same way Lehmann has improved a lot compared to the past. And please don't forget Van der Sar who is bringing ManU back to glory, it's not only Rooney and Ronaldo. \n\nAnyways, check out these goalkeepers, they're pretty good:\nVailati (FC Sion), Léoni (FC Zurich), Malafeev (Russian national team), Sylva (Lille), Vermeer (AFC Ajax).

no no there is a confusion. Zidane got the Golden ball award. Cannavaro is in the lead to win the Ballon d'Or award, he is just ahead of Buffon who also might take it. But Cannavaro has a better chance. We will not know the result until November 27th

Theodoras Zagorakis. he used to play for Bologna for a season. But I think Rehhagel wants Giannkapoulous to be the new captain.

for kappa italia..........ma vaff******............tell all the centroavanti in serie A that materazzi sucks............no one wants to face il Matrix..........even though he may be considered a dirty player, he is a great/physical defender with both technical and tactical abilitiy. to answer the original question, figo veron and of course il nostro grande capitano javier zanetti have contributed the most this season.........cambiasso too. but inter have too many argintines......we need piu' italiani (rumor has it we're interested in franceso tavano, bomber dell'empoli).....that would be a good signing i think

I don't think so. He has gotten Milan within 3 points of Juventus in Serie A with 3 games left. Will finish ahead of Inter in the standings and got them to the semis of the CL. He did sign a contract extension and I think that there aren't any world class coaches available in the world today to replace him at such a prestigious club. He has done enough this season to earn himself at least one more year.

Ha ha ha. Nice story. You have a talent for story-writing, do you know that? Anyway, Ronaldo will always be Ronaldo. Nobody can stripped him of his honor of being called "one of the greatest." His record will speak for himself. He may be down now, perhaps because of age (?), but in due time he'll deliver again. The Brazilian team has a deep bench. With Ronaldinhio, they might have a repeat this year. Ronaldo's talent and energy is one of a kind, thus, i believe he will make a great comeback. :D

YOU'RE MY NEW HERO BUT THEN AGAIN I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU'RE SMART(@dude that's no 4?)\n\nNOW TO YOUR QUESTION, BUFFON DIDN'T HAVE ANY SELF INTEREST WHEN MAKING ALL THIS MONEY, HE JUST MADE THE NECESSARY AMOUNT TO HELP PAY THE REFS OF ITALY'S GAMES AGAINST US, AUSTRALIA AND FRANCE IN ORDER TO SECURE THE WIN OF THE WOLRD CUP\n\nHE  IS JUST A TEAM PLAYER- WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

Shevvhenko is not stupid.  He's already used to the italian style of play and his carrer is almost over. If he does go he will have a horrible season at Chelsea.  Most of all Chelsea's winning ways are over.  Teams are already used top their style of play and anyone will stop them!

Its hard to say...As i have already said before...I think doing favours and gifts for referees are a common thing here...It has been out in public before...This scandal is a lot like that...I dont think there was direct attempt to fix matches...Time for Italian Football to become more transparent. Like the nations politics and economy...needs a reform!! FORZA ITALIA!!!

Hearts are making inroads to improve on this year with buying new players but the key to any succes will be stability: something their campaign lacked this year, with different managers, unhappy players and many, many more things which in no way helped the players.\n\nNext season will be tough, with two qualifying rounds in the champions league means they will start their season early.  If Romanov decides to do what he did in January and sign unknown lithuanians (how many of the 11 players he signed in january are first team regulars?), if he decides to interfere with team selection and player purchases, they will go down the tubes this year, his input, with money the exception, held them back more than anything.\n\nHowever, if players like Hartley, Pressley and the rest of the scottish lads knuckle down as they did this season, with the addition of a couple of class players, they will be up there, however i dont see them breaking Rangers again with Paul Le Guen and his multi-million pund warchest, or Celtic unless they resolve a few issues.  One look at the cup final showed how far they have dropped since December: they struggled against 2nd division Gretna.
