| EURO 2016 Football Match |
With Euro 2016 reaching the
halfway, prediction about the leading scorer and the potential winner of the
tournament has become easier. Although European Championship 2016 hasn’t
produced a standout team in the group stage, here are some individual
performances you wouldn’t like to miss. Players have been rated based on their individual
performances in the tournament so far. Now, let’s have a look at some of the
best performers of the tournament:
Goalkeeper
 |
| Michael Mcgovern: Northern Ireland |
Northern Ireland’s Michael
McGovern is likely to find a club after UEFA Euro 2016. At present, he doesn’t
have a club. With an average rating of 7.66, McGovern is the goalkeeper of the
tournament so far. He performed exceptionally well in the matches against
Poland and Ukraine. His performance against Germany entitled him man of the
match, leading his team to the last 16. Other goalkeepers to give impressive
performances include Switzerland’s Yann Sommer (7), Iceland’s Hannes Thor
Halldorsson (7), Poland’s Lukasz Fabianski (7) and Sweden’s Andreas Isaksson
(7).
Defenders
 |
| Kyle Walker: England |
If goals have been few and far
between in the tournament so far, the credit goes to the defenders. The best
four defenders of the tournament include England’s Kyle Walker (8), Italy’s
Giorgio Chiellini (7.5), Iceland’s Kari Arnason (7.33) and Germany’s Jonas
Hector (7).
Midfielders
 |
| Ivan Rakitic: EURO 2016 |
Midfield is a very tricky area where we have seen so many good performances in the group stage of European Championship
2016. Ivan Perisic (7.66) from Croatia has been influential and has helped his team
top group D. There are also other midfielders who have grabbed our attention
for their remarkable performances. These include Ivan Rakitic (7.66), Andrés Iniesta (7.66), Marek Hamsik (7.33), Granit Xhaka (7.33), Joe Allen (7.33),
Mesut Özil (7.33).
Forwards
 |
| Cristiano Ronaldo: Portugal |
Forwards seem to have been
struggling in the ongoing European Championship 2016. This is so because
defences have been so well organized in the tournament. Candreva’s inclusion
was more of a surprise, but he proved his place after two impressive
performances against Belgium and Sweden. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robert Lewandowski
and Thomas Müller have not been in form. They have failed to score in the
tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, took two games to get going.
