		<description>he contributed little for a few games, but he was brilliant last night.

senna deserved it more, but like the offside says, he is more of a symbol of the midfield rather than their outstanding player.</description>

		<description>I also agree with Josh. Fabragas was brilliant every time he came on as a sub. And again yesterday.

Can I also add that just because Spain won the trophy, it does not necessarily mean they had the best individual player. If Germany won, everyone would be picking German players as the player of the Championships.

The players most selected in the Offside Team of the round:
Selected Twice:
Villa, Boruc, Zhirkov, Arshavin, Chiellini (one as sub),Van Persie (one as sub), Ballack (one as sub), Buffon (two as sub).

The players with one selection that appeared in the final are:
Podolski, Frings, Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Fabragas, Silva, De La Red (as sub), Klose (as sub)

So surely only these players can be considered? In my personal opinion, I think Zhirkov was consistantly good.</description>

		<description>Casillas was good, but I dont think he was best keeper. Van der Sar made many more fantastic saves. Didnt Spain have the least amount of saves per game?</description>

		<description>I am with Elisa, the beauty of this tournament was the entire Spanish midfield... team work should ruled individualities... that was the key.</description>
