Former midfield star Andreas Herzog experienced a good European Football Championship with momentum even from small nations and a pleasingly strong Austria. In his column for the "Krone", the 103-times team player also put together his personal eleven of the tournament, in which, of course, the outstanding European champions Spain dominate with six nominations.

Another European Championship is in the history books, it was a good one. It still takes some getting used to for me that 24 nations are playing at the same time. Normally, some of the group games are watered down because so much has been decided. Not this time.
