In my opinion, no team was worthy of the cup in this edition. If it had been me to decide, I would have boxed the cup for four years and have the tournament declared to have no winner... And I'm only half-joking

I was actually a little bit impressed with sweeden but it was when i watched france and england playing on the quarters, and realizing they were even worse that waht i tought, that i realized that sweeden just kinda sucks. In fact, Ukraine was away more impressive then sweeden. They didn't have a super stars team and still beated sweeden when they were losing for 1-0... also, they clearly got robbed against england.

Russia is actually a great team, not because it is made of superstars but because they play as a team. They really had bad luck against Greece. But they were a little overrated right at the beggining when people started saying they were nice title contenders.

Croatia was really a surprise. Were a lot of trouble for both spain and italy.
