    Apart from the obvious, I've been impressed with Man City's Corluka of Croatia.

    Also like the look of Nihat, what a strike last night. He might be leaving Villarreal but i think Fenerbache are ready to break the bank to take him back to Turkey.

    Ivica Olic is the player i reckon Scott McDonald could be with a couple of improvements to his game. They have similar work ethics and are of similar build, i think Skippy just needs his touch and technique polished a bit and we'd have a player on our hands.

    As for being impressed, Deco looks like he has been reborn at these Championships i fully expect him to be at Stamford Bridge next year.

    Olić is suited best to a one forward formation. Short description:Kenny Miller with 20% better shot. I like him for his agility, work rate, stamina, fighting spirit, and even his defensive contribution, which is immense for a forward, but I don't know would he fit to our tactics. Ćorluka...he could play CB again, with occasional runs forward...

    i reckon volkan of turkey has had a good tournament. he has pulled off some cracking saves so far, but then again he looked a little suspect against the turks but has caught my eye

    Vulkan the goaley of Turkey's done quite well. Although not in same league as Boruc. Basically the full dutch team especially Dj Wesley , Deco, Mountinho,

    David Villa's the best striker at the tournament though :icon_mrgreen:

    Ardu of Turkey looks a player, agreed regarding Deco he's been playing some of his best stuff in years.

    Fav Celtic Song:
    Willie Maley
    Boruc
    Corluka Mellberg Pepe Gio
    Ronaldo Engelaar Sneijder Modric
    Ruud Villa

    That's my team of the tournament so far, was going to put Robben in instead of Modric but thought that I should try and pick a couple of players from different nations.
