Zidane short-listed for FIFA World Player of the Year award

Zinedine Zidane is short listed among the final three names for the FIFA World Player of the Year award. Congratulations, Zizou! But it seems that you frustrated your fellow (former) French teammate, Henry….

FIFA name top three

THIERRY Henry has not even made it into the final three short-list for the FIFA World Player of the Year award - a decision that is sure to infuriate his Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

Fabio Cannavaro, Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane have been revealed as the three remaining candidates.

Henry was the only player who made it to the finals of both the Champions League and the World Cup last season, and Wenger said earlier this week the striker deserved to have been given the Ballon D’Or, the European Footballer of the Year award won by Italy and Real Madrid defender Cannavaro.

FIFA’s award is voted for by the coach and captain of all 207 national teams, who each pick their top three players of the year.

Yet another Zidane website

Yet another Zidane website has appeared…TheZidaneHeadbutt.Com features a Flash minigame similar to the ones that we have linked to before. The objective of the game is to make Zidane collect as many red cards as possible by headbutting all the Materazzis that head his way. Quite funny, actually. LOL!
