The Golden Ball winner in South Africa 2010 was the Uruguayan Diego Forlán. The blonde scorer who plays in Atlético Madrid was the leader of his national team and was also one of the World Cup’s top scorers. The player of the “Celeste”, who’s also a Unicef ambassador, scored 5 goals for his national team. Thanks to the participation of “Cachavacha” in the matches against South Africa, Ghana, Netherlands and Germany, Uruguay finished at the fourth place in the World Cup. Among the many candidates for the Golden Ball, Diego Forlán got the 23.4% of the votes. This is a new award for a fantastic player who has also won the English Premier League and the King’s Cup, and who was two-time winner of the European Golden Shoe and the BBVA League’s Pichichi Trophy, apart from being the Spanish Villareal’s top scorer.
