He was the reason we made it to the semi final's. Actually, technically Suarez's hand of god, or Abreu's penalty were, but you get what I mean. :P
Deserves this award, and if he hadn't hit the crossbar with the last kick of the game against Germany, could of won the Golden
Boot
too. Still, an amazing achievment.
Fixed. :P

if Robben had finished that one on one in the second half and the Dutch had held on, Sneijder would have had great case for player of tournie. That was a magic pass.

Forlan made the difference for Uruguay. While Sneijder had a good tournament, he wasn't the stand-out in his side and I think that was the difference between the two when the award was decided.
Forlan played excellent football, looked like scoring every time he had the ball and was always dangerous. The only other player in the tournament to do that was Arjen Robben, but he never managed to finish the job.
On this reasoning, Ryan Nelson was in contention.......;)

Does that mean Forlan will win FIFA player of year award at the end of this year? Usually, whoever wins the player of the world cup go on to win the FIFA player of the year award.

Good for him...
And IMO, his volleyed goal agst Germany in the 3rd place playoff was goal of the tournament, great mix of control, placement and power, plus technique.

plus the look on the keepers face ;)
I think in all fairness he deserved it. Had Schnider won it I dont think anyones would have been to unimpressed.
Muller/Ozil had young player in the bag.
