I'll start a thread so we can use it as a shortlist, then do a poll to declare the winner
For me it has to be Fabio Cannavaro.
Gives hope to short arses eveywhere that despite all the odds I may turn out to be a world class centre back. Alternativly I may just stay as a rubbish defensive midfielder/ office worker :|
2. Phillipe Lahm - quality everytime I saw him
3. Genaro Gattuso - bearded midfield terrier

zidane, pirlo and klose.
klose looks so ordinary but he notches up goals for fun.

Yep Fab was fab. He wins it for me.
I have a mention for Hargreaves - if he were in from the start he may well have been in with a shout - his perfomance against Cuntugal was one of the stand out individual performances of the tounament.

Buffon's been fantastic in the Italian goal as well, he's probably been my player of the tournament.
Like you say Lahm was awesome, I also thought Frings upped his game for Germany. Maxi Rodriguez also impressed me, especially with all of the talk about Riquelme.

All of those mentioned above have had good games, but have been too inconsistant to be considered for player of the tournament in my opinion, with the exception of Pirlo & buffon I'm starting to sound like an eyetie now. Wheres my pencil beard trimmer?  |

don't think you could say klose was inconsistent, zidane definitely was though. materazzi is worth a shout, he's a player i have a love/hate relationship with. i love him for the fact he's a cunt but i also hate him for it |

Wheres my pencil beard trimmer? ...which was why I said Hargreaves may have been in with a shout - Euro 2008 perhaps. Mind you, now that he's shown he can do it Phil Neville will probably be brought in to show us all how not to do it again. Still back to 2006 - I didn't think anyone apart from maybe ZZ came close to Cannavaro and I'm affraid his antics in the final put paid to his chances for me. Think it's a reflection of tactics employed that we're struggling myself. Pundit of th wc goes to O'Niel for me btw - what the hell was he talking about for the past 4 weeks? |

Like you say though, hes so medicore most of the time but his WC goals record speaks for itself. Matterazzi certainly had the most eventful world cup, 2 goals, a red card, giving a pen away in the final then making zizou's head explode with rage. Not bad for a centre back who wouldnt have got a game if Nesta was fit  |

I'd agree that Hargreaves put in one of the individual performances of the WC- he must be the fittest player in the tournament

Cannavaro
Lahm
Zidane/Riquelme/Klose
The german press spent much of the build-up to the world cup calling Klose and Podolski 'Polish rats'. Not having a competetive game for so long is bound to affect your performance, but then their press is much like ours.

Hargreaves was average in a poor side which made him look better.For a class holding midfielder look no further than Frings-player of the tourno for me-Germany would have beaten Italy if he'd not been suspended.Lahm was the discovery of the tournament for me.Other notables-Marquez,Cannavaro and I liked Frei of Switzerland.Top of the flops-Shevchenko,Ronaldinho and,yet again,Totti
