Team of Euro 2008

Sports today Analysis the Victorians!

Euro 2008 has produced many match winners including the likes of Arshavin, Senna , Villa and many others. But many unsung heroes such as Sergio Ramos, Carlos puyol cant be ignored. As expected the Spain has dominated the team .So here comes the dream team!

Goalkeeper- Edwin van der sar, Holland

Although his team did not make it to the Final four this 37 year old Goalkeeper has everything to make it to the dream team. He gave his optimum best to make his team go wild. Van der sar has retired from internationals now so Holland needs a quality saver to match the credibility of The european champion.



Iker cassilas came close enough but Van der sar's single minded performance was even higher than Iker's

Defenders

Sergio Ramos, Spain

The man who did it! This name would certainly suit Ramos. He was running, Jumping, heading and doing everything to make his team win the cup. His performance in the finals was even more powerful!. He denied Ballack and Klose the ball all the time!

Daniel Pranjic, Croatia

If you want a left back that can get forward and score goals, pick Germany’s Philipp Lahm. If you want one that can get forward and defend, pick Pranjic. Pranjic was in superb form for Croatia and deserved to go deeper into the tournament.

Carles Puyol, Spain.

Everyone knew that the Spanish attack was fluid and dangerous, but the defense was a major concern going into the tournament. Puyol has his limitations, but he held things together effectively and must take much of the credit for his team having conceded only three goals.

Marcos Senna, Spain.

Senna found a new lease on life the past two seasons and he was the unsung hero of the Spanish triumph. He shut down Andrei Arshavin in the semifinal, and his holding work allowed Spain’s attacking midfielders license to wreak havoc.

Mid Fielders

Micheal Ballack, Germany

No one can deny him this spot. Ballack have a habit of losing in finals. This time too the same thing happened but Ballack deserves more than what he gets. GO BALLACK (im a big ballack fan !)

Andrei Arshavin, Russia.

Arshavin was suspended for the first two games, but returned to mastermind a victory over Sweden to put Russia into the quarters. His performance against Holland was even better, when he ran the show in a 3-1 extra-time victory and showed why many of Europe’s biggest clubs are taking a close look.

Wesley Sneijder, Holland

Wesley was doing everything he was shooting from long ranges, his specialty but nothing could make his team enter the last four. His effort must be appreciated as he single handedly scored many goals. Wesley deserves this spot!

Andres Iniesta, Spain.

Spain had so many quality midfielders to choose from, but Iniesta was the most consistent overall. His vision and imagination complemented perfectly with Fernando Torres and David Silva and kept the Spanish “total football” machine cruising along.

STRIKER

David Villa, Spain.

Villa was the man who got the Spanish juggernaut rolling with his devastating displays in Group D. He finished the tournament as top scorer with four goals and barely made a wrong move during his time on the field. The fact that he was mobbed by his teammates at the end of the final spoke volumes for how highly his colleagues rated his impact.
