Euro 2012 l PP'ers watch on best performers in the tourney

[freelance_cricketer]

We can probably have a poll once the tourney is over. Before that i guess the panel must start discussing top performers.

My picks so far -

Forwards-
Shevchenko
Gomez
Mandzukic


Midfield -
Modric
Arshavin
Schweinsteiger
Gerrard

Defence-
Lahm
Rossi
Hummels




Goal keeper-
None other than Neuer

Gerrard

And no Ozil or Iniesta

[freelance_cricketer]

Someone had to miss out.

Ozil was wonderful in game 1

He played well yesterday too.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Dzagoev has to be in there, 3 goals in 2 games

Also Pirlo was much better in his match than Modric or Gerrard

[Amjid Javed]

Cant believe Bendtner and Arshavin havent been mentioned

Arshavin was mentioned in the OP

I tried to put up a playing XI.
Bendtner was terrific really. He earned me 10 points in fantasy league yesterday so no way imma be forgetting him.

[freelance_cricketer]

You may add Cassano into the list now, doing really well.

[James]

Agger was epic against Holland.

[freelance_cricketer]

Torres finally clicked. Two fine goals

Iniesta was lovely.

[freelance_cricketer]

Double post.

[Chicharito14Hernandez]

Why twice FC?

[ecstatic_freak]

This is going to be Iniesta's euro, in first two games he looked unplayable, lets see if he can carry it to knock out games.

[chacha kashmiri]

Arshavin, ozil, eugene, shevchenko

[Boi]

Pirlo's been class so far. The free kick yesterday was superb!

[leatherface58]

Joe hart was excellent vs the French. just that nasri's strike was way too special.

[James]

Bastian versus Holland.

Why do I call him that? Because I have no idea how to spell his surname.

[PakFan2010]

Schweinsteiger.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

no pirlo?? surprising

I think excellent is pushing it, his handling was very meh

[leatherface58]

probably.but he pulled off some great saves and thankfully kept that git Robert green out of the side.

well he is a much better keeper than Robert Green so he was always going to keep him out of the side

Joe Hart is a class keeper BUT I guess he was understandably nervous, it is his first major tournament

[iHammad]

David Silva
Arshavin

Dzagoev
Gomez

[Geordie Ahmed]

Cabaye in with a shout, decent against Ukraine and he was excellent against England

[The Godfather]

Pirlo for me was quiet in the second half against Croatia but overall been very good.

[sully3]

Pirlo for me has been the star man so far, the guy makes the game look so easy.

in defence Hummels has easily been the best, and the theory that he hasn't got much pace has been put to rest.

[Geordie Ahmed]

Hummels doesn't have pace BUT you don't necessarily need it and he has shown that. He is very good in the air, wins a lot of headers and he is very comfortable on the ball

[RRK92]

Iniesta has been immense so far. Ball seems to be stuck to his feet. My guess for player of the tournament.

An other player that has not been mentioned here. Daniele De Rossi. Make shift CB and has been doing really well. Him and Pirlo Italys best players so far.

[James]

Walcott versus Sweden. Supersub would be an understatement.

[Punisher]

Veloso has been immense for Portugal. No-nonsense player and puts great deliveries into the box.

Dzagoev is looking good too with his impressive tally, I feel that the Ukrainian wingers can cause England some problems (Yarmolenko and Konoplyanka).

[PetroDollars]

Pirlo completely outplayed Xavi and Modric in the two games.

De Rossi has also been playing well as a sweeper.

I would say that Pirlo have a more attacking role than Xavi, Modric

Xavi is making sure that Spains Passing flow.

Pirlo have been best so far IMO.

[PakFan2010]

Pirlo didn't outplay Modric.

Put Modric into Italy's side and watch him flourish, A passer like Modric is only as good as the players he passes to.

Pirlo went missing in the 2nd half anyway.

So you are comparing a 33 year old Pirlo to Modric who is in his prime and is 26

Modric will never reach the level of Pirlo.

So thats why Spurs are S--T

[Geordie Ahmed]

So what would the team of the tournament look like? Anyone seen the gem posted by Garth Crooks?

[DHONI183]

Who was Man of the Tournament?

[leatherface58]

Torres got the golden boot. i guess that's the player of the tournament..kinda. funny because i had predicted Torres to get player of the tournament. but u don't know if there is any special award as such.
