While Turkey defender Mert Muldur has been ranked as the tournament's BEST-LOOKING player.

Discussing Wednesday's match, manager Koeman said: "For the whole nation it is something special.
"We are a small nation and to be part of the semi-finals with England, France and Spain we are really proud to get the opportunity.
"If you win the match that always gives a good feeling.
"We need to recover, like England. It is not a physical difference between them and us. We played on the same day, we need to travel like them. It is not the physical [aspect] that will decide the result."
England's Harry Kane dilemma laid bare as stats show MAJOR problem before Holland clash
GARETH SOUTHGATE has a Harry Kane dilemma ahead of the Euro 2024 semi-final, writes Kealan Hughes.
England face the Netherlands on Wednesday night as they bid to reach back-to-back Euros finals with their captain the subject of huge scrutiny.
Kane, 30, was taken off in extra-time against Switzerland after a lacklustre performance which saw the striker barely involved in play.
In 109 minutes, he completed just EIGHT passes - only one of which was in the final third.
Kane also made just four touches in the opposition penalty box, with critics lamenting his failure to get into the area to get on the end of one of Bukayo Saka's many crosses.
Alan Shearer has advised Kane to do his work in the box rather than dropping back.
In fact his average position against Switzerland was DEEPER than wing-backs Saka and Kieran Trippier.
That might be understandable, with the pair bombing on to provide width.
But Kane was also, on average BEHIND Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden and even holding midfielders Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice.
