1 good game doesn't make you the player of the tournament. He has been decent in other games, but not outstanding.

Lahm is included, but Hummels not?

This "all star team" just lost all its credibility.

it really does seem like they just randomly picked players from the semi finalists, added zlatan as he scored a good goal, then added gerrard for services to diving

Maybe UEFA sabotages Hummels on their list because he lost his nerves in the last match or something.

Yay some strange choices in the allstar-team. Hummels is missing, should have been in before Lahm (who nevertheless made his 4th consecutive all-star-team nomination, after a good, but not overwhelming tournament). Other players that I might have chosen are Cassano, Dzagoev, Krohn-Dehli, Gebreselassie, Montolivo. Maybe instead of some spanish players since -finals aside- I've seen most of them play a bit better/entertaining before.

Arbeloa must really feel strange, given he is the only from the 11 spanish players who featured in every game to not make the team of the tournament.

Iniesta is a good choice, even though I would have favored Pirlo simply because I feel he carried Italy more than Iniesta did with Spain.

One thing about all-star-teams is that the players from all but one team tend to end their tournament with their worst game. So one bad play, even if was ultimately fatal, should not be a reason why a player with an otherwise great tournament should not make the team of the tournament imho.

I'll go with Pirlo, closely followed by Alba and Iniesta. Dzagoev would have been a strong contender had Russia not failed against Greece. D:

Italy was in the final because of Buffon , not Pirlo . Buffon saved Italy like 5-6 times.., and pirlo scored only once and have few assist.

UEFA already chose.. Iniesta is best player of EURO 2012

With your logic Iniesta is crap, right?

No , you cant read , or cant think.. dunno what..

I write that Buffon carry Italy to finals , not Pirlo. Pirlo was playing superb so what ? , everyone know that Pirlo was superb in Euro 2012 , but now imagine that buffon DIDIN'T save Italy so many times..all these super pirlo assists are not important.. then..yes ?

So all Pirlo fanboys ( i like him to ) can write that Pirlo carry Italy to final... but no one write buffon name.. ? common.. he saved good score for Italy like 6 times..all you see is balloteli goal and pirlo passes...

I'm not amused with the absense of Kyriakos Papadopoulos as well. I'm not tired of saying that he's the best cb in the planet in his age.
No Jordi Alba, wat?

Buffon was decent but not good enough to be on the list. He didn't save any of 4 goals against Spain ffs. I don't claim its his fault, but if you want to put him in the list then he should've saved atleast 2 goals. Keepers need to make a miracle, while attackers just make assist/goals, defenders never in the list. Thats how it is, unfortunately.

It is both Iniesta and Pirlo, but Iniesta on top, cause his team won, both players carried their teams on their back when other didn't step up.
In Pirlo's case it was somewhat expected for him to carry his team, but Iniesta did a lot, with Xavi not playing at 100% Iniesta played 110%.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞
