Spain Dominate FIFA’s Team Of Euro 2008

FIFA have announced their Euro 2008 team of the tournament and, as expected, the Spanish contingent dominated the starting XI.

The European Champions were outstanding from start to finish during the Championships and they had no trouble en route to lifting the Henri Delaunay trophy.

World football’s governing body has now recognised the Spanish effort and they have included no less than six Furia Roja players in their team selection.Russia, Holland, Portugal and Germany share the five remaining places.

FIFA’s EURO 2008 starting XI:

Casillas; Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Pepe, Lahm; Senna, Xavi, Ballack, Sneijder; Villa, Arshavin.

David Villa finished the championship as top-scorer with four goals. Three of those were a hat-trick against Russia in their first group D game.

Fernando Torres’ strike in the final clinched victory over the Germans and Xavi Hernandez was officially the player of the tournament.
