The best 11 of EURO 2012's first round


The first round of EURO 2012 has ended, and 36Sports have chosen the best 11 performers. Russia and Croatia, each has two players in the list, while there are no names from big team Germany, Portugal and Netherlands. 



Przemyslaw Tyton came off the bench after Szczesny was sent off. He then saved the co-host a loss denying Greece's penalty. 


Mathieu Debucy was the highlight in French defense last night, keeping Chamberlain at bay and at the same time assisting offense effectively. 


Denmark made the first shock of EURO 2012 after beating Netherlands 1-0 and Simon Kjaer was one of the important element in their defense


Putting De Rossi at central defender was a risky bet by Italy's boss, but it paid off. He played beautifully in this new role, denying many chances by Spain


Ashley Cole is still keeping his form as in Chelsea's conquer of Champions League. He was the reason Ribery couldn't do much in last night match between England and France 


Roman Shirokov is very important link in Russia's midfield. He finished Arshavin's set-up to put Russia ahead 2-0 of Republic Czech 


Luka Modric, the most wanted by Manchester United, showed that he is the one dictating the way Croatia plays. His passing was 90% accurate. 


Iniesta was the soul Spain's midfield, initiating Fabregas' goal and set up another two chances for Torres. 


Alan Dragoev is a new born star, that much the experts agree. He has speed and flexibility of a top notch striker. 


Shevchenko proved that age does not matter when he made a double in Ukraine's 2-1 win against Sweden. 


Mario Mandzukic (left) was very dangerous with his header. He scored two goals to secure the 3-1 win against Ireland for Croatia.
