Diego Forlan has become the Uruguayan idol forever for his excellence in the World Cup and for haven received the highest achievement, the Golden Ball. Generally these recommendations is for a player that dispute the final, but in this scenario, this was the first time that the reward was awarded to a footballer that do not dispute the final, a fact that made his invasion even more significant.
Diego Forlan played very well all the matches, with 5 goals. He showed his technique, commitment and his intelligence and shot to the Uruguayan's team service. He was an excellent centreforward, he moved twenty metres down to get in touch with the ball, prepared the game, planned advances and annoyed defenders with his moving about.
Only 4 players from South America received the Golden Ball: Diego Maradona from Argentina in 1986 and from Brazil, Romario 1994, and Ronaldo 1998. The fourth, South
America footballer was Diego Forlan - 2010.
I’m completely certain that Diego Forlan is the Best Soccer Player in the world as he proves by winning the golden ball.
