CB - Sergio Ramos (Spain)
It's no surprise really that I paired Ramos with Pique. They mesh so well together each of their strengths mask the others weaknesses. For all intents and purposes they are the perfect partnership. There were others that I considered. The Italian combination of Barzagli, Bonucci and Chiellini were impressive especially against the Germans. Mats Hummels had a break out tournament and has definitely established himself in his national team and probably on the wanted list of every major club in Europe. I really wanted to put him in the team but he had this weird habit of starting every match poorly and building himself into the game and lets not forget he was at fault for Balotelli's first goal in the semi final. In the end it was a no brainer.
