Andrea Pirlo: The Best Player in Euro 2012

Pirlo has not doubt been the mastermind of the Italian midfield. He seems have found his fire back after a disastrous World Cup in 2010. But his biggest test is today against a rampaging German team. Italy has never lost to Germany in a major tournament and would like to keep the winning record going and Pirlo will be the key to it. Cheers! Ram

Andrea Pirlo is also showing his class in Euro 2012. I think he will among the top the list of best players of the tournament but it now depends if other parameters are looked at. I am caught in awe about his penalty take against England.

hello, If we talk about only this Euro Cup, then I think you are right. Pirlo has played some brilliant football. He is one of the main reason that Italy is in Finals. He is a great midfielder, may be not the best. I still think that Xavi and scweinsteiger are the best midfielder in the world. But still in this series, Pirlo has really showed his talent and not only him, but all of the Italy team. They have played some great football as a team. They deserve to be in the finals.

andrea pirlo still had to prove in the final games because that is actually proving that pirlo is the best even tought victory or defeat pirlo spanish player have to compete with the quality as well

I think Andrea Pirlo is one of the best players of Euro 2012. He performed well for his team to reach in the final. Let us hope he will perform well in the final and lift the Euro 2012 cup for his team .

It is an assumption and views all people as Euro 2012 will take place, all the talk about Cristiano Ronaldo will shine there. But as far as the eye could see Cristiano Ronaldo is good but the party failed to take Portugal to the highest. While at Euro 2012 was the start forgetting italy because they are not sure of the players who were brought by Cesare Prandelli to Poland and Ukraine. But there is a figure in italy italy differentiator that can show his best, he is Andrea Pirlo who deserves to be the best player.

It was excited to discuss about euro 2012,Italy now become strong team,they're different than last years.But unfortunately i'm waiting for Totti as a captain.Now Pirlo has a good midfielder.But we can't forget it about Ozil from Germany or Xavi from Spain.Ozil and Xavi also a good midfielder from his team.Last years i like Spain,and they're become a champion.This year Spain is still my favorite.

There is no doubt and no room for argument this time,Andrea Pirlo is clearly the best midfielder and the man of the tournament so far;his vitality and vision of the game inspired an Italian team whose evolution was truly impressive up to this point.I'm sure he can't be excluded from the team of the tournament and I think he might even be chosen the FIFA player of the year if Italy manages to win Euro 2012.

to be frank,i guess pirlo has been the driving force for italy due to which italy has made it this far into the tournament,he has been making lots of assists for strikers to score goals as well while italy needs something pirlo is the man to deliver,he scored a fantastic freekick against croatia as well his penalty kick against england was also must talked about,i would be very surprised if pirlo doesnt make 2012 all star euro line up

Maybe he is, after all the italians were not given much hope to progress beyond the quaterfinals after a mediocre (according to their standards) in qualifying and friendlies. But for me so far, no one really stand out. C.Ronaldo has his best game against Holland. Iniesta was good but could be greater. His performance was good. Didn't dropped but was just good and could have done better. Tonight and the finals ( if Italy does go to the final) will truly decide if Pirlo is indeed the best of the best, but i am hoping for a Germany win because i need the extra cash badly. Hahaha.
