Forlan Best Player Of The 2010 FIFA World Cup-Report
Uruguay striker Diego Forlan was on Sunday surprisingly awarded the Golden Ball as the best player of the 2010 World Cup. Atletico Madrid striker Forlan grabbed five goals at the tournament as his country finished in fourth place after losing Saturday’s third-place play-off to Germany.
Thomas Mueller was given two reasons to celebrate after the German starlet was named Young Player of the World Cup and picked up the Golden Boot for the tournament’s top scorer. The 20-year-old Bayern Munich forward finished the tournament with five goals, the same number as Forlan, Sneijder and Villa.
He was awarded the Golden Boot because he had supplied three assists, which was more than any of his rivals. Mueller was elected the tournament’s outstanding young player by FIFA’s Technical Study Group, beating off competition from Ghana winger Andre Ayew and Mexican forward Giovanni dos Santos. Spain’s Iker Casillas was voted the best goalkeeper after his side won the trophy by beating Holland 1-0 in the final-JNW
