Cannavaro wins Euro player award

United States

"Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has been named European Footballer of the Year by France Football magazine. The 33-year-old Real Madrid defender, who captained Italy to victory at the World Cup in Germany, becomes one of the few defenders to win the prize. Cannavaro won the honour with 173 points, ahead of Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon (124) of Italy and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry (121)." Do you agree with the decision or would you have liked to see another player?

I have for a long time been a fan of Thierry Henry and personally think he deserved to win it.

Cannavaro first and Buffon second. Not too bad for the Italian team that won the Soccer World Cup this summer. Also strange that a defensive player like him won the trophy.
