Euro 2012: Best Team of the Tournament XI

CAM - Xavi Hernandez (Spain)

I have Iniesta in the team so of course I was going to have Xavi as well. They are a package deal are they not. Joking aside Xavi is almost the perfect modern day midfielder. He carries time and space wherever he goes, he always has a picture in his mind of what's around him, he can see every pass and has every pass in his locker. The phrase midfield metronome was created just for him. He was the only player to attempt over 600 passes during the tournament and the only player to complete over 500. While others at this tournament were grabbing the back pages he quietly went about his business. A quick word about Wesley Sneijder who I almost put in this team purely for the 40 yard, outside of the foot pass that went between two defenders and landed at the feet of Huntelaar. If there is a pass of the tournament award then he should get it but don't let Robben see because he'll go into a huge huff, take off his shirt and sulkily walk past as many photographers as he can find.
