Kahn is king of the keepers
FIFA have confirmed Germany's Oliver Kahn as the number one goalkeeper of the World Cup.
The Bayern Munich player, who up to the Final had conceded just one goal in six matches, was today confirmed as winner of the prized Yashin Award.
The 33-year-old's superb performances have been instrumental in carrying what many consider to be one of the worst Germany sides in their national team's history all the way to the Yokohama final.
The previous winners of the award, which is named after Soviet Union soccer legend Lev Yashin, were France's Fabien Barthez (1998) and Belgium's Michel Preud'homme (USA '94).
Meanwhile, the Belgian class of 2002 have won the tournament's fair play award. The Red Devils, who were knocked out by Brazil in a thrilling second-round encounter, received only seven yellow cards in their four matches.
Sweden and Japan finished second and third behind Robert Waseige's team.
