Kazim Richards was probably the best right winger in the tournament. Should have been on there.
Which doesn't make him better than any of players named in the squad, fact is that he was below his usual standards and was poor in the game where they were eliminated, against Germany. He only played three games in the competition, and I wasn't overly impressed with him against Turkey either - he wasn't their best player certainly. As for Czechs game, he did very well there, scored a decisive goal, but can we name him in 23-man squad on that basis? Nope.

Playing for United and being in a shout for Ballon d'Or doesn't make his Euro performances good enough.
