South Africa's Most Valuable

Leander Schaerlaeckens says that it's Diego Forlán. No argument here--he was brilliant. That crack he had yesterday was one of the best goals of the tournament, and everything Uruguay did offensively went through him. He won't win the Golden Ball, but I can't imagine any team suffering more from the hypothetical removal of a single player.

Update: Silly me, indeed he did win the Golden Ball.
