    What do you think about laughable all time euro 11 that was voted? No Platini and C. Ronaldo is in there, I wanted to kill myself when I saw it.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Anonymous6/7/16

    Cristiano Ronaldo should be now named the greatest EURO player of all time. He has reached 2 finals and in another he was joint top scorer. And he is the ll time top scorer of the competition. Only one appearence from Platini can't outshine all of Ronaldo's.

      You means 2016 tournament players ranking ? If so, I have updated for several days ago.

      Delete
    2. Anonymous5/8/16

      I mean the overall changes.

      1.Ronaldo should be named greatest EURO player of all time. He has equalled Platini as the competition's all time top scorer , and alltough Platini's 84 tournament will remain the single best performance , Ronaldo has played 4 tournaments aginst Michel's 1.
      He has 2 Finals(one victory) and 3 all star team inclusions , one of them being the joint-top scorer. He is easly no.1

      2.Buffon should also be named in the ranking. He took part of 4 EURO tournaments in his career , 2 of wich he was included in the all star squads.

      3.Andres Iniesta should surely be above AT LEAST Luis Suarez , since he has participated in 3 EURO tournaments in his career and played an integral part in the conquering of the first 2(one of them MVP).

  6. Anonymous6/8/16

    Some other advices:
    -Griezman>Gerd Muller
    -Xavi also>Suarez at least. I'd actualy put him in top 10 ever for sure.
    -Pepe>Forster since he has an all time record 3 all stars

      I have updated based on score in my database. Platini Euro scorer 83.1 %, CR7 83.0 % in example

      Delete
    2. Anonymous7/8/16

      Can you please explain the metodology for your new ranking? It doesn't make much sense seeing Beckenbauer and Yashin as the 2 best since they only played 4 games each. And how is Platini above Ronaldo when he only played 1 tournament?

      Delete
    3. Naratorn Wirunhchatapant7/8/16

      I don’t include only final tournament for the 4- team format since it is unfair for them. I extend to qualifying round cover 16 teams-model.

    4. Anonymous7/8/16

      1.Do you do the same with the 1930 World Cup? Because it is the same case.

      2.I still don't understand the ranking. What is the metodology that resulted those percentages?
      How can Platini or Gullit be ahead of Ronaldo who has achieved and played much more than them?

  7. Anonymous14/8/16

    In 1980 the MVP was no doubt Wilfried Van Moer.

    "Striker Horst Hrubesch may have scored two goals to secure final victory for West Germany, but for many the outstanding player of the tournament was the Belgian central midfielder with the seemingly boundless energy. He ran the show in most every game he played, scheming, prompting and holding the ball, never wasteful his performances were as dynamic as they were inspirational as Belgium went all the way to their only major Final. Van Moer was arguably the most influential player in the tournament and indeed at 35, his performances earned him 4th place (equalling the best ever showing by a Belgian) in the Ballon d'Or poll"

    You may have underrated Van Moer because of those retroactive all stars but take a look at the all time all star made:

    http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2011/11/29/2776856/the-greatest-european-championship-xi-of-all-time-featuring

    That performance made Van Moer be recognised till present times as one of the greatest players in EURO Championship history , so he is the evident option.

    Also you have forgot to present the metodology that you use in naming the best players in each edition.

      OK, I think you made a reliable opinion on Van Moer who should have been named in at least top 3 player of the tournament. I really omit him. For the methodology of players selection in each tournament, I have not developed yet and just consider by analysis.

      Delete
    2. Naratorn Wirunhchatapant14/8/16

      As Schuster played ply two games in final tournament, I decide to name Van Moer at second place. Additionally, when I found there is one player left to complete the 18-men squad, I name Van Moer in the team as the only CM player.

      Delete
    3. Anonymous14/8/16

      Well you said that Platini scored 83.1 % and CR7 83.0 %. I tought that was some result from a scorecard , or is it just goal ratio?
      I'm interested in why is Ronaldo so low , bellow the likes of Gullit,Figo,Platini when in cumulative performance , he seemes much better at first sight.
