I would have picked Sergio Ramos in the squad of the tournament, and I agree that Casillas ahould have been player of the tournament.

Why on earth did he get a yellow card in the final- As capt. he has every right to come out and quell a player uprising
Lahm? played well all tournament and then conceded a soft goal- doesn't deserve to be there
Arshavin? can't wait til the English tabloids start playing with that name!
-he was the find of the tournament for me

I thought Marcos Senna was the find of the tournament. Im praying that Arsenal can pick him up as a replacement for Flamini.

I think it's because he just kept yacking to the ref when the ref told him to go away. Or said something not nice.

Chiellini and Aniukov should be in there.
I actually thought Iniesta had a pretty average tournament.
Xavi was quality but Senna was player of the tournament for me.

I'd have had Schweinsteiger (either for Ballack or Iniesta) in the squad, and probably Simunic as well ahead of Marchena.
Sergio Ramos and Anyukov were along Bosingwa the best right backs, and I think at least one of them should have been in the squad, probably ahead of Lahm who had a couple of good and a couple of disappointing performances.
Also not sure why Hamit Altintop was in the squad, Nihat, Arda Turan and Mehmet Aurelio were all more important for Turkey than him.
I'd have Senna as the player of the tournament.
