fabio who?

For those who didn't recognise him, the guy with Ohna is Fabio Cannavaro, the captain of Italy who lifted the world cup on Sunday. Jon Snow just said this in his daily snowmail

Could Zidane's infamous 'coup de boule' end up being the most lucrative head butt in history? As he goes on French TV to explain why he did it, we'll examine what that moment of madness may cost him - or make him. He might have thought he would lose commercial contracts as a result.

But his current sponsors, Adidas and Danone, say they are still behind him. www.mercizidane.fr will be launched by Adidas this week. And other firms may soon be queueing to buy a piece of the world's most famous footballer.

He'd never get this much attention if he had just quietly won the world cup - what is the Italian captain called anyway?
