Team of the Tournament

Still waiting for the 5th penalty

--------------------------Casillas
Johnson----------Pique----Agger------Coentrao
----------------------Pirlo------Alonso
Iniesta----------------Ibrahimovic------------Pilar
--------------------------Balotelli

for me Ronaldo didn't have a good tournament, not only did he miss chance after chance in the games, he failed to even take a penalty against Spain

on another note could you nominate:
a player of the tournament
a young player of the tournament
goal of the tournament

mine are as follows

andrea Pirlo
Matts Hummels
Jakub Blaczikowski ( or however its spelled) vs Russia

1. Pirlo
2. Coentaro easy, was oustanding throughout the tournament imo
3. Balotelli 2nd v Germany

iniesta named as player of tournament, ridiculous

"where is ronaldo"

Probably admiring himself in a mirror somewhere. He's the only player I can think of who spends more time practising his pre free kick routine than the free kick itself. Once again his country came in a distant second behind his massive ego. He doesn't get near to team of the tournament because he doesn't give a damn about his team.

------------------------------Buffon------------------------------

Pereira--------Lescott-------------Pepe-----------Alba

---------------------------------Pirlo---------------------

----------------Moutinho------------------Iniestia------

-----------------------------------Silva----------------------

---------------------Ronaldo---------------Cassano---------


Thats my 2pence worth.

i'm not sure about that front 3 gawa

For me Ronaldo was Portugals best player and had he scored the penalty but Portugal had of went out everybody would have said he was just unlucky.

I thought Silva contributed lots to the Spain team in both assists and Goals. The only thing about him was he was subbed of in most games.

Cassano really surprised me with his ability to adapt his position when needed and thought his link up play was great and was vital to the whole team along with Pirlo.
