I think he does, he played well throughout the tournament and it's a good consolation prize after probably the most embarrassing moment of his career.

The BBC says journalists voted and made the decision before the final was over so that it was before the headbutt incident. Should that have affected the decision. Cannavaro came 2nd, I think he was also deserving!

Yes. The Golden ball is decided before the end of the first half- therefore, relying on the information and the performance evaluated while making the decision, Zidane did deserve the award. He's a fantastic captain, an incredible striker and an inspiration to dedicated footballers everywhere. Yes he made a mistake in the second half.... a big mistake.... but we all have regrets and moments of irrationality and he doesn't deserve to have his incredible achievements negated by it.

yes he deserves the golden ball as he had played very well thru out the tournament . moreover because of a silly mistake u can't tak e away what he is . what i saw was that almost all the players were doin sthg or other . some were pulling some pushing some other something else only thing was his was more clear n other just do it n show it that it was by mistake then all the players who do it shud be punished n not only him. so that no one does it again. n evryone plays a fair game. 90 % of the players do it delibrately only few r by mistake. that is a diff thing who is caught by refree n who is not.

FIFA makes a mockery and farce of the organisation, tournament and award by naming Zidane for Golden Ball. It's like saying: we're honoring you because of your contribution to the game which includes headbutting the opponent. What hyprocrisy!

No way. Apart from the disgrace n the last game what had he done actually? Was invisible in first two games, got suspended in third group game, and scored two penalty's? Wow!
If they wanted to give it French then Riberi or Anri deserved it more..

No. He is a well respected "older" player. Along with that title comes responsibility, one of those responsibilities is to control yourself because younger up and coming players are watching you.
It is a shame because it will overshadow what was a good career, but people will remember this of him for the rest of his life and beyond.

i don't think he deserves.Because at the match Italy vs France he headbutted an Italian player and he got a red card.Even this year is the last year he is playing in the FIFA world cup i think he should not deserve it.

i think that he does deserve it even if he headbutted materazi who deserved it because acoording to some resources he either insulted his mother or have done some racial acts like saying to zidane.."get back to africa whaere you belong"...if this was approved'racism'then i think that italy should not have the world cup and the match must restart.....
