After watching the finale which was highly dominated by Spain against Italy, which included a goal/assist from Torres and a goal from Juan Mata who has the best goal/time played ratio in the whole competition!

Also, thought John Terry was excellent for England!

Who did you think was our best player at the Euros?

Terry for me.

Torres got the golden boot, but he barely played. 2 goals against a shocking Irish side and 1 against 10 men of Italy when they were already beaten. So he didn't really do enough to be the best.

Mata played for about 10 minutes.

Malouda...well he's pants isn't he.

Merieles..didn't actually see him play I don't think. At least I don't recall seeing him in the Portugal game I watched a bit of.

Cole is the only other one who could be up there, but I don't think he played as well as Terry.

Meireles was quite solid in midfield to be quite honest, held his own very well against Spain and earlier in the tournament against Germany!

I don't think Torres has much competition outside of John Terry. Despite not starting every game he still won the golden boot. Most of the other players on this list barely got to sniff the field.

Torres shares the golden boot with Gomez?

Torres shares the golden boot with Gomez?

Apparently not because Gomez played more than Torres.. it's what the commentators said.

I think Torres wins it on his own because he got the 3 goals, plus an assist.

Gomez has an assist too.

Right. For the crowd tied on three goals, the tiebreakers are first assists (Gomez and Torres both had one, the rest had none), and then time on the pitch (Torres played less than Gomez, since he only actually started against Ireland). So Torres wins the Golden Boot.

Terry for me, easily. Held Glen Johnson on a leash, Lescott by his side and was the only player who really performed against Italy. My man.

JT for me, gave it the works even after a long season he was still getting in there and putting himself on the line for the team.

Terry, easily England's best player... Tied with Ash, no need for Chelaea bias either.

Think all our boys, bar Malouda, did well with the opportunities/minutes they had.

Honorable mentions to Big Gangster Meireles as well. He could have had 3-4 assists against Czech if Ronaldo had been more efficient.

JOHN TERRY by far

Right. For the crowd tied on three goals, the tiebreakers are first assists (Gomez and Torres both had one, the rest had none), and then time on the pitch (Torres played less than Gomez, since he only actually started against Ireland). So Torres wins the Golden Boot.

Didn't he start In the third group game?

. . . so he did, come to think of it. That entire game had completely disappeared from my memory, for reasons anyone who saw it can probably guess. He still played much less than Gomez.

JT for sure. Had Torres played mroe games and in the way he's done when he's played then he would probably be number one.

Seeing that list it does surprise me how little representation we had at the Euro's - thought we'd have more than that for some reason.

Well half our players got injured and the rest are Brazilian.

I would say Terry. Only one who was really worth his place in the England team, not that I give a sh*t. Nando did well when he played for spain, Meireles was solid.

John Terry , the only England player that had the guts to make a decent pass.

JT for me. Happy for Torres winning the Golden Boot, but JT had a better campaign.

Well done to FernandoTorres for winning the golden boot.

JT all day long for me, many neutrals and others have said how good he was, 100 percent effort and passion. Thats what he gives and thats why we love having him.

For me i would have to say Merieles. He played really well against good teams.

Terry was good also.
