First off I would like to congratulate Cannavaro on winning the FIFA World Player of the Year award, not an easy task considering that he is a defender. Secondly, I don't think that people are necessarily trashing Zidane, as much as they are disappointed with the way he ended his career. I have been a fan of his throughout his career and I think he is better than the way he acted in the world cup final. As far as Zidane winning the FIFA World Player of the Year award three times, he was an extraordary talent that will be missed, but if you expect that from Cannavaro, don't because they barely give the award to defenders once much less a second time. It doesn't mean he is less talented, but their talent is different as their positions are different.

No goalkeeper has won the FIFA World Player Of The Year award, The closest is a 2nd place to Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich, Germany) who was second to Ronaldo in 2002

Khan came second, Buffon would be the closest, followed by Casillas and Van Der Sar.
