Vote for Your Adidas Golden Ball player here, and here are the contenders:

1https://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5332/1707119kp.jpg  Thierry Henry  (France)
France provide a trio of aspirants, led by their lithe, graceful and lightning-quick striker, Thierry Henry. There had been question marks about the Arsenal captain’s performances for Les Bleus leading into the tournament, but Henry has answered his critics emphatically with a series of excellent and often-selfless performances in the lone striker role, performances that have thus far yielded three precious goals.


2.https://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9121/1707074pi.jpg  Patrick Viera (France)
Also in contention from Raymond Domenech’s camp is the powerful Patrick Vieira, another player who has emerged from a hail of criticism to prove that, at his best, there are few midfielders in the world capable of dominating and dictating a game so expertly.

3.https://img207.imageshack.us/img207/5051/1776677ei.jpg  Michael Ballack (Germany)
The hosts, meanwhile, may have bowed out at the semi-final stage, but their refreshingly adventurous approach won many friends outside German borders, and two players in particular caught the eye of the FIFA TSG members. One was Michael Ballack, the captain and a player whose workrate and driving influence in midfield earned him the apt tag of Germany’s lokomotive by coach Jurgen Klinsmann.



4.https://img207.imageshack.us/img207/472/1822060sq.jpg  Miroslav Klose (Germany)
Joining him in the reckoning is the man currently leading the race for another of the FIFA World Cup’s most illustrious honours, the adidas Golden Shoe. By anyone’s standards, Miroslav Klose has enjoyed a vintage tournament, with his strength, courage, eye for goal and link-up work with strike partner Lukas Podolski among the most impressive aspects of Germany’s play.

5.https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3307/1633312fj.jpg  Zinedine Zidane (France)
The last but certainly not the least of the French candidates is Zinedine Zidane. Already a legend in his own time, this most elegant of footballers continues to amaze with his near-balletic brilliance, and there can have been few individual performances at Germany 2006 to match that produced by the 34-year-old in France’s quarter-final win over Brazil.



6.https://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4713/1593044ls.jpg  Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)
It says much for the quality of Italy’s performances to this point in the tournament that they provide us with a greater number of candidates than any other team, with a quartet of Marcello Lippi’s team having been shortlisted for the honour. There will be no great surprise, certainly, at the sight of Gianluigi Buffon’s name in there, and the Juventus goalkeeper will hope that his agile, commanding and reliably inspirational performances for the Azzurri have been sufficient to see him follow in the footsteps of 2002 winner Kahn.



7.https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5354/1559571de.jpg  Fabio Cannavarro (Italy)
Italy’s captain, Fabio Cannavaro has, however, been just as important in establishing Italy’s remarkably frugal defensive record – just one goal conceded, and an own goal at that – and the 32-year-old’s faultless marshalling of the Italian rearguard is sure to make him a strong contender.



8.https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9454/1778769wz.jpg  Andrea Pirlo (italy)
The composed, creative midfield play of Andrea Pirlo has also been recognised, with the AC Milan playmaker shortlisted for his telling contribution to Italy’s attacking play from a deep-lying position.



9.https://img207.imageshack.us/img207/4863/1776551xp.jpg  Gianluca Zambrotta (Italy)
Another player who has contributed to the Azzurri cause both defensively and offensively is Gianluca Zambrotta, a dynamic overlapping full-back who has popped up on both the right and left flanks to score and create goals in vital matches

10.https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/693/2149648dg.jpg  Maniche (Portugal)
The final candidate comes from Wednesday night’s beaten semi-finalists, Portugal, and this player can lay claim to having scored a couple of the tournament’s most spectacular goals against Mexico and the Netherlands. Maniche’s contribution has extended far beyond those eye-catching strikes, however, with his biting tackles and forceful running in the midfield engine room a key factor in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s team's march to the semi-finals.

Does anybody here know that Italy aint conceeded a goal yet??
Ok, who's that shouting that they have?
Y'all know it was an own goal, a very bizarre one at that,
Buffy was waiting for the guy to clear the ball, and he did. . . . inside his net,
'part from that nobody has been giving a privilege to do that.
Like i said before, the only way france can win that cup, is if FIFA permit them to carry the ball and hide in their jerseys and run into goal. Thats all folks. . .

Sorry, but it seems podolski already won it.
