He had basically 2 good games, 2 horrible games and 1 average (vs spain). Sure he scored some important goals, but you have to expect it from someone who doesn't do anything defensively. I liked Pepe and Coentrao more in the Portuguese team. | ||

I dont agree with you i mean im not the biggest Ronaldofan either but he played a great Euro even if he didnt scored in the first 2 games he worked really hard for the Team and he played like a Teamplayer(mourinhos work Payed of). Offcourse it is not enough for the player of the Tournament(not in Final) but it was a great worldcup at the end for him. He scored 2 Really Really Important goals against Netherland and the Matchwinning Goal against czech. He showed that he is there if the team needs him. I think the game against Germany was just a tactical mistake by the coach and the game of Ronaldo against germany looked horrible because of the ultra defensive tactic. Not Ronaldos fault. | ||

He was really impessive at his prime with AC Milan. He always has stood out as being able to play so deep. Being a small guy he is able to play just in front of the defense. Also, his forward passing statistics are really impressive. He carried Italy most of the tournament. It was kinda emberassing how both England and Germany failed to neutralize Pirlo. But Spain was able to do this with their no striker system. There were moments that clearly showed how they put pressure on Pirlo every time he would get the ball. At one point he was on the right side of the field and forced to run all the way back and then pass to the GK. I am sure most of you saw hat in some post game analysis. Neutralizing Pirlo neutralized Italy. A tournament has to be a really really bad tournament for a goalkeeper to be the besat player. Goalkeepers is not why people watch football. I won't say they are a necessary evil. But come on guys, a GK as player of the tournament? Ronaldo made plays only he and no other player ever can make. He also scored goals and carried his team. Yeah, he could have played better in the group phase. Yeah he should have taken an early penalty. But that's about it. This guy is so superskilled, it's sick. Iniesta made huge plays for the best team in the tournament. I don't get this Iniesta vs Pirlo heat. Pirlo didn't do anything in the finals because Iniesta and Fabregas locked him down. It's a team game. If Italy had been stronger, Pirlo could have shined in the finals and won the best player award. He was just powerless in the finals. This got made worse by the 10 vs 11 because of the injury. | ||

Can't even say that with a straight face. Pirlo, hands down. Silly thing to say about one of the very best and most impactfull players of the group stages. He carried a horrible team, and in his one "bad" game he was constantly in a 4v2 battle alongside the positionaly questionable Scott Parker. Yet the very few times England had the chance to pull off a counter attack it was he that got upfield in position, only to be horribly failed by the attackers. | ||

So solid. Never gets enough credit. I guess its a difficult comparison to make between a keeper and other positions though, and Iniesta does so much for the team. I find it hard to justify giving it to a non-Spanaird though. They still tower above the rest of the competition. | ||

Well, I guess you could say Mario Gomez is a forward as well, but then you would have to ackknowledge that Gomez plays football... | ||
