In his team of the tournament, Gavin Hamilton named Hamit Altintop at right-back. You're joking, right? He was regularly caught out of position on the right flank of Turkey's defence. He did impress when switched to central midfield in the knockout stages, but he certainly wasn't the best right-back in the competition.

He`s been picked up to UEFA`s Euro 2008 team as well. You are right actually, maybe he didn`t impress in right back position but he started more games in right back position and he played very well in the whole tournament so they wrote him to right back. And i can`t remember if any right back player assisted 3 times in a game ( Turkey vs Czech Republic 3-2 ) in Euro 2008 like Hamit did.

Yes, but UEFA selected him in midfield, which confirms my opinion of his weakness at right-back!

In the uefa's squad, i think Ramos should've been in the right back position.
