I don't think there is a "Player of the Tournament" award, but Zinedine Zidane won the adidas Golden Ball award, meaning that he was supposedly the best player of the tournament, chosen by the people at FIFA.
Other awards for players in the FIFA World Cup 2006:
- FIFA Fair Play Award: Brazil and Spain
- adidas Golden Shoe (most goals scored): Miroslav Klose (Germany)
- Gillette Best Young Player: Lukas Podolski (Germany)
- Lev Yashin Award (best goalkeeper): Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)
- The Most Entertaining Team (presented by Yahoo!): Portugal
- Mastercard All-Star Team: Italian players dominate (7 out of 23 players selected)

Fabio Cannavaro
Very stable, barely put a foot wrong. In combination with Buffon, they were the foundation on which the Italian team built their campaign for the world cup. His positioning was impeccable and he simply made his role look easy, like all great players.
Zidane was a great player, but, in this world cup, he only shone in some games. His headbutt is something that has to be held against him. Sure there must have been provocation, but the response was out of line. It isn't the first time Zidane has been sent off for violent conduct, so I wouldn't say it was a one-off thing.

Cannavaro is sheer class, but my player of the tournament was Gattuso, he was Disciplined, tenacious and in the semi and the final kept running for 120 Min's. Perfect example of how that role should be played. As usual though that type of player is overlooked in favour of some attacking player who had 1 and 3/4 good games and then got sent off. Lets be honest Zidane won player of the tournament because he was retiring.

WC 2006 will forever be remembered with Zidane's headbutt. He may or may not have been the best player of the tournament but he was certainly the most memorable one. Zidane was the player of the tournament not only for unexpectedly carrying France to the final but also with his infamous headbutt.

Zinadine Zidane cause he is good at scoring chances and goals and foot work and scores a lot of goals in every game and is good in freekicks and penelty shots and could cross out any one and is the best player ever in the whole wide world and is good at extra time remember he is the best better than Ronaldiniho

It was Zinedine Zidane who played for France. His biography is below to see for yourself. It was a shame he was sent off his last international match as he has now retired but he is still a brilliant footballer without a doubt.
