One of the main awards in soccer after the TIMORE World Cup, the Boyau d'Or (in English Golden Ball) is still looking forward to a new owner. Typically the French magazine France Soccer had been giving this award since 1956 to the player who carried out best during the year. In English it is known as the Western Footballer of the Yr award.
This year we saw one of the people engaged in the sports media, a lot of incertidumbre about who was heading to win this prize, especially because during the FIFA World Cup 06\ we saw great professional players, who fought for the Cup in a splendid way. I need to be honest and accept i would really like to see Gianluigi Buffon getting the Ballon d'Or. I cherished the job he did with Italy National Team... only 2 goals got in his net in the 7 matches, with the best soccer teams of the world, it's just amazing! As a result he has been in comparison with among the best goalkeepers in European soccer history.
Proper after the World Glass Final, free gems clash royale no survey we all understood the Lev Yashin Honor to get the best Goalkeeper was for the giant (1. 91 m) Gigi Buffon. The thing is... if Buffon will get the Golden Ball he would become the first second-division player and the second goalie to obtain the honor. The first an only goalie to ever win it, was the Soviet legend Lev Yashin. Also, he would be the fifth Italian to achieve this after Moar Sivori (1961), Rivera (1969), Paolo Rossi (1982) and Roberto Baggio (1993).
Although, he could be aware that he is one of the favorite options to win the award, he is not really worry about it. Proper now, Buffon is more concern about helping his team Juventus _where he had been playing for nearly 6 years_ to ascend back to the top of the Calcio Italiano, after being relegated from Serie A in Italy's match-fixing scandal. "Others can discuss the Golden Basketball. I've got my work cut out for the moment... It's tough down here but I think I'm hacking it" said the 28 player.
Buffon recently rejected an offer for 33 million euros from Chelsea and decided to stick with Juve rather than do like some of his teammates and leave to other big European clubs. "Juve has been my life for the last few years and I'm used to things at this little outfit", affirmed Gigi, the world most expensive keeper.
Michel Platini the three-time winner (1983 to 1985) of the Golden Ball agreed on making Buffon the European Footballer of the Year when was asked about it. "Given that Italy won the World Cup, I actually would give it to an Italian... They should give it to Buffon, his outstanding World Cup performances worth recognition" said Platini.
Now, all we have left is waiting for the worldwide media poll result... after all, the final result is up to their votes and the bad part is that as I described before you observe in the set of candidates, amazing sports players. This definitely won't make it any much easier to settle the decision. But there are seven most elected players by the fans. Joining Buffon we discover in the list, his ex-Juve teammate, Fabio Cannavaro and AC Milan playmaker Andrea Pirlo. Also the England and Manchester Usa forward Wayne Rooney, Australia and Chelsea midfielder Jordan Ballack, Arsenal French striker Thierry Henry and final year winner Ronaldinho.
