Euro 2008 Best Eleven: The Group Stages               

Goal.com's Sulmaan Ahmad picks out the best performers from Euro 2008's group stages...  
                                                                                      
We have had 12 days ofaction in which four groups of four teams each have battled it out foreight places in the quarterfinals. The shock of the tournament so farhas without doubt been France's elimination in the Group of Death, while there have been no standout surprises, though Turkey's miraculousback-to-back comeback wins to earn their place in the last eightcertainly came against the odds.There have been plenty ofstandout performers in what has been a promising tournament so far.Midfield has, as it usually does, produced the most impressiveperformers, while there have been surprisingly few good defensivedisplays.

Unsurprisingly, the Netherlands have the most playersin the team, with three, while the impressive Croatia's two entrantsare both defensive, as going forward was really more of a collectiveeffort than reliance on individual brilliance.As always, therewill be controversy and debate over many of the inclusions, so withoutfurther ado, here is the Euro 2008 best eleven for the group stages.

Gianluigi Buffon (Italy)

Despitean unenviable record of four goals conceded in three games - twice asmany as he conceded on all seven on the way to the 2006 World Cup - fewwould argue with Buffon being picked as the outstanding goalkeeper ofthe tournament so far. An outstanding penalty save kept his side in thetournament, and his finger-tips denied Karim Benzema a beautiful goaland a tense finish to the Azzurri's decider against France. Hisclosest contender is most probably Artur Boruc, who was protected by amiserable defence and did his utmost to prevent his country'sinevitable elimination. Edwin van der Sar has also continued hisChampions League-winning form with the Dutch.Buffon dons thecaptain's armband, just as he has in two of Italy's three games, forhis exceptional leadership of a defence surprisingly short onconfidence and the team as a goal.

Philipp Lahm (Germany):pompom:

Germany'sdefence has been untypically shambolic, but Philipp Lahm, whether atright or left-back, puts in a solid shift both going forward and indefence. He was not at his best during the defeat to Croatia, but not asingle German was. A fantastic performer full of class and discipline,Lahm edges the likes of Jose Bosingwa and Vedran Corluka to this spotin the team.

Khalid Boulahrouz (Netherlands)

Hehimself will be as surprised as anyone with just how well everythinghas gone for him so far during Euro 2008. Playing at right-back, theversatile Chelsea man has fought relentlessly with any opponent put inhis path - particularly exceptional against France - and will almostcertainly engineer the move away from Stamford Bridge he has been dyingfor, unless Luiz Felipe Scolari has a sudden urge to keep the tirelessstopper. Condolences to him and his family upon hearing the news thathis prematurely born daughter Anissa passed away this morning.Hopefully he will be able to return to action for his side in theknockout rounds.

Robert Kovac (Croatia)

Has shownhis experience and leadership at the back for Croatia, at the heart ofan incredibly organised defence: the joint-best in the tournament withthe Netherlands, having conceded just one goal so far. His defensivepartner Josip Simunic could have an almost equal claim to this place inthe team, but seniority rules supreme in this case. Portugal's Pepe isalso in with a shout after a wonderful game against Turkey in which hescored a goal ruled out for offside, only to burst forward to net onelegitimately - his first for Portugal - but he looked positionallyshaky against the Czech Republic on occasion.

Joan Capdevila (Spain)

A late bloomer, Capdevila arguably only has his place in La Furia Rojabecause of the tragic death of Sevilla prospect Antonio Puerta, but theVillarreal stopper has risen to form for his country, not onlythroughout the qualifiers, but now on the big stage as well. His singleblemish so far in the tournament came when he was caught napping from acorner against Russia, allowing them a consolation goal. He hasotherwise been rock-solid down the left, outshining the so-farunderwhelming Sergio Ramos on the other flank, and without bombingforward at every opportunity, he has provided two assists with sweetlytimed through-balls. Beats out Yuri Zhirkov of Russia and Italy's FabioGrosso to the left-back berth.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal):@

Thelove-hate reception received upon mere mention of his name isinevitable, but what cannot be questioned as that the Manchester Unitedace has been involved in all five of Portugal's goals and has beentheir main attacking threat in what was a deceptively strong group.Took his sole goal brilliantly - and a decisive one it was, too - andhas more or less brought his form for club through for his country onthe big stage. Will have one of the biggest games of his career thisevening against Germany in the quarterfinals. Libor Sionko of the CzechRepublic was a close contender, but missed too many of his chances,Arda Turan is also an emerging star for Turkey, while Arjen Robben'simpact for the Dutch against France was devastating, but he did notquite take control of the Romania encounter - which was not acompetitive game for the Dutch anyway - to edge Ronaldo into the team.

Rafael van der Vaart (Netherlands)

Isfast building his reputation as one of the best young passers of theball in Europe. Was blinding against Italy in the opener, and thoughmore subdued and well-marked against France, was still one of the Oranje'sbest players. The Hamburg SV man is without question putting his timein the shop window to good use, edging Michael Ballack to this place inthe team, following the Chelsea man's somewhat off-colour showingagainst Croatia (though in his defence, the lack of a competent supportstaff was evident).

Niko Kovac (Croatia)

Whileplaudits have been pouring all over the dubiously priced, PremierLeague-bound Luka Modric, fellow creative Croatians Ivan Rakitic andNiko Kranjcar have performed just as well, but all have been allowed todo so courtesy of midfield general and team captain, Niko Kovac. He hasbeen the rock in midfield, freeing up Croatia's unit of attackingplayers to burst forward and eventually create the goals. Theplaymakers have been as good as each other Kovac has been a cut above,also protecting the back four (which includes his brother, Robert, alsoin the team) to great effect. Edges the titanic Daniele De Rossi purelyon the basis of affecting better results for his side, albeit againstweaker opposition, but then Croatia themselves are no Italy. Verylittle between them.

Deco (Portugal)

The littleBrazilian-born want-away Barcelona star, like van der Vaart, is gettingthe most out of his time in the spotlight in order to engineer a moveto either Chelsea or Inter - where he will link up with one of hisformer managers. What makes his displays particularly impressive is thefact he has been out of the Blaugrana's starting line-up formuch of the season, only playing a handful of games towards the end andlooking far from his best, yet turning it on for his country - or hisadopted country - has been seamless. Has risen to prominence andout-performed the likes of Andrea Pirlo and Xavi to seal this slot.Portugal struggled in qualifying when he was off form, but now he is inhis stride, they are looking one of the teams of the tournament.

Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands)

Oneof the most unassuming names in the forward line of this team, butarguably the best performer of them all. Sneijder won the Man of theMatch award in both games he played for the Netherlands - rested in thethird - and was instrumental in the demolition of both Italy andFrance. He scored an acrobatic goal capping off a fabulouscounterattack against the world champions to well and truly turn thegame and capped a smooth team move with a sumptuous finish to addinsult to French injury in stoppage time. Furthermore, his defensivework rate must not be underestimated, as he regularly tracked back -particularly against France - to aid Giovanni van Bronckhorst againstthe threat of a very lively Sidney Govou.

David Villa (Spain):pompom:

Therecan be little doubt that the competition's leading goal scorer snaps upthe lone striker role in this team. His hat-trick - the first of Euro2008 and the first in this competition since Patrick Kluivert's in 2000- consisted of two brilliant goals and another, though a tap-in on hispart, that had good build-up play from Capdevila and Fernando Torres.Despite not being a leading striker, he showed fantastic poacher'sinstinct to score a late, late winner against Sweden, which took allpressure off his side heading into their final group game againstGreece, for which he was rested. Ruud van Nistelrooy has also workedvery well for the Dutch, but could not match Villa in the goal-scoringstakes, miraculously only tallying one of the Dutch's nine so far.Lukas Podolski has netted three of Germany's four goals and can counthimself unlucky not to be in the team. His goals were sweetly struck,but often fell kindly for him. Furthermore, he did not impact on gamesoverall in the same manner as Villa, Ronaldo or Sneijder. Nihat Kahveci of Turkey was sensational at crunch time for his side, but was dwarfedagainst Portugal, which counted against him in the end.
