i think turan arda of turkey had a cracking tournament and was the heartbeat of the team, one of the main reasons they got to the semi was due to his outstanding performances even at the age of 21! i think aleksander anyukov also had a good tournament, zhirkov faded towards the end

^Thats my team, and with those players to choose from, I’d say Ballack was the star player, although in fact Bastian Schweinsteiger should have been in the team of the tournament let alone the star player…smh.

I also think that David Villa was rubbish apart from his first game, I can’t see how in the world everyone puts him in… Agains Sweden he scored a goal and that was it, after that… nothing.
Other players that stood out for me:
Casillas (picking between him and Buffon is… impossible)
Volkan
Lahm
Puyol
Pepe
Sérgio Ramos
Semak
Tuncay Sanli
Arshavin
Deco
Pavlyuchenko
Podolski
Ballack
Modric
R & N Kovac
Pranja
Servet Çetin
Mehmet Aurélio
Nihat
Arda Turan
Iniesta (in the final 2 games only)
As for Xavi (who was considered the player of the tournament), I thought he was consistently good but never brilliant and far from being the best player in the Euro.
