Spain placed nine players on the Dream Team of Euro

The great game that Spain has been making for the Euro (except the game against Sweden, which was a bit weaker) has an impact beyond the title of champions.

And is that Spain has become the reference team. It is the best team that has played a European Championship. That's what the data, at least. Five wins (Russia, Sweden, Greece, Russia again and Germany) and a tie (Italy). It is the best result ever in this tournament since the quarterfinals implanted (tying number of wins ever).

Villa has achieved the top scorer trophy without playing the final. Four goals scored in the first two games. He did his job soon.

Iker Casillas, San Iker, has not received a single goal in the playoffs (0-0 Italy 3-0 Russia 1-0 Germany). This fact is very interesting because it was critical to Spain the only team that was rated for rooms that had driven at least one goal in each of the previous matches. The Spanish defense is not only Iker. While before Italy had ample opportunity to show off, to Russia and Germany barely touched the ball Iker.

And ... Nine Spanish monopolize the ideal team for the UEFA European Championship.
