2002, Korea/Japan - Oliver Kahn (Germany)
The German captain was the first and the only goalkeeper to win the Golden Ball. He was commanding, and his frame with his fierce face could frighten any striker, adding that he was prolific in every goalkeeping aspect that makes him one of the best ever.

He kept five clean sheets and made his side progress to the finals. To beat him, one has to have tremendous ability and Ronaldo was nowhere less for that description, who scored two goals past the tournament's best keeper to deny Germany winning that day.
2006, Germany - Zinedine Zidane (France)
'Zizou'. The French captain was sensational in that tournament, and he was one of the four players who scored three goals in World Cup final matches.
He was sent off for his headbutt on Materazzi in the extra time that saw Italy win on penalties. Zidane put France ahead early with a neatly-taken penalty, playing his last match before retiring.
