who do you think should have won the following awards in the 2006 fifa world cup ?

I think it's right the way they gave it out! Plus, only the players can determaine themselves if they get Golden boot or Lev Yashin Award since it's on how much they score/ save..........

pre-world cup performance does not guarantee a world cup win. we can take the example of 2002 Japan Korea world cup, where Brazil struggled to qualify to become one of 32 nations to play the tournament, and then won the world cup for fifth time ! France and Argentina were the top favorites to win the cup, but they were eliminated in the first round. and what South Korea did? they played in the semi-final!\n\nwell, temperament will be the name of the game as soon as the world cup begins. tradition will come second. for such reasons, only 5 countries lifted the world cup for 15 times out of 17 tournaments followed by 2 countries won one time each.\n\nin my opinion, top contenders of this Germany 2006 are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournamentand hence, should be watch out carefully. If Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above top contenders could win the world cup 2006.

Lionel Messi deserve that award. He's just amazing and he's only 19. But did u see the current results? Luis Valencia of Ecuador is leading the votes.

1)Rooney-Has brilliant support- Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Cole, etc has to take the world by storm \n\n2)Van Nistelrooy-I have got a funny feeling for the Dutch-Just might be their year\n\n3)Messi-Terrific talent  and in the argentine side-should \ndo well\n\n4)Ballack-german side does not frighten me if I am Brazilian or English- but yaah they have crowd support on their side\n\n5)Henry-Never shown it for the Les Blues\n\n6)Drogba-Ivory Coast???I don't think Mr Cheater will do too well.I back Ivory Coast do win a game but can't see them going through.

Choices based on performances in this World Cup.\n\n\nGK - Buffon - The best keeper in the world by far and others are too erratic\n\nRB - Miguel - He's impressed me with his runs and defending\n\nCB - Lucas Neill - Played out of his skin, but shown composure and talent.\n\nCB - Fabio Cannavaro - Awesome so far.\n\nLB - Ashley Cole - played well apart form first game.\n\nRM - Ze Roberto - Probably been the best Brazillian\n\nCM - Appiah - Shown what an underrated player he is\n\nCM - Riquelme - Barca are stupid to seal him to Villareal.\n\nLM - Robben - Dangerous, pacy, match winner.\n\nF - Klose - Topscorer so far, cant go past that.\n\nF - Crespo - World class.
380982
I think Ronaldinho will be the player of the tournament.\n\nOther players to look out for are Henry of France, Rooney of England, Deco of Portugal, Riquelme of Argentina.

Ronaldinho is the best player in the world.  He got the player of the year award for 2004 and 2005 and he might get it for this year too.  In 2004, Henry got second place and Shevchenko got third.  In 2005, Lampard got second and Eto'o got third.

Its hard to left behind players like Zico (Brazil), Koeman (Holland), Roberto Baggio (Italy), Cruyff (Holland), Romário (Brazil), Puskas (Hungary), Rossi (Italy), Van Basten (Holland), Klinsmann (Germany), Kempes (Argentina), Muller (Germany), Platini (France), Zoff (Itlay), Matthaus (Germany), Ronaldo (Brazil), Milla (Cameroon), Brehme (Germany), Di Stefano (Argentina)... as many other brilliant players but, since its the best of World Cups, here's my selection:\n\n1. Yashin (ex-URSS)\n\n2. Baresi (Italy)\n3. Beckenbauer -he was central defender, sweeper- (Germany)\n4. Cafú (Brazil)\n5. Maldini (Italy)\n\n6. Maradona (Argentina)\n7. Garrincha (Brazil)\n8. Zidane (France)\n9. Bobby Charlton (England)\n\n10. Eusébio (Portugal)\n11. Pélé (Brazil)

First of all great question man!!! I beleive the MVP for this World Cup will be Jared Borgetti from Mexico. Well Borgetti is more experience than ever, he has always shown heart and dedication two things that make him the great soccer player he is...

It has to go the player who most influenced his team's victory in a World Cup year.\n\nFabio Cannavaro may not played well all year but his performances were vital to the Azzurri winning their 4th title. Like it or not, it's him who deserves the award.\n\nZidane would be a close second followed by Samuel Et'oo.

The Golden Ball isn't it the prize for the one outstanding player in the tournament? \nNot the Golden Shoe which will be given to the leading goalscorer.\n\nIf this is what you mean (and I think it was clear) then my vote goes to Kaka (If Brazil goes to the final match)\n\nWhy?\nBecause in my opinion he is the most effective player in the Brazilian team (so far)

I think the World Cup 2006 has not yet reached the phase where you can talk about who is heading for the golden shoe. The first round hasn't even finished yet. If Ronaldo wants it he'd better start playing football instead of what he is doing now. Christiano Ronaldo has now scored one goal in 149 minutes, which is not enough if you want to be topscorer.\n\nFifa has a poll on their site and they nominate:\nMiroslav Klose (GER)\nMichael Owen (ENG)\nRuud van Nistelrooij (NED)\nAli Karimi (IRN)\nLuca Toni (ITA)\nRonaldinho (BRA)\nThierry Henry (FRA)\nAndriy Shevchenko (UKR)\n\nSome of those also seem unlikely, I have to admit. \n\nDon't misunderstand I think Christiano Ronaldo is a great player and of course he can still score lots of goals this WC. Ronaldo I think is no longer the great player he once was. He won the golden shoe in 2002.\n\nIf your question means I have to choose between those 2 I'd say Christiano Ronaldo.
