Malta defender Brian Said had the distinction of being named in the team of the week of eurosport.com following his brilliant performance in the 2-2 draw against Turkey on Saturday.

Unsurprisingly, eurosport.com picked several England players in their best team after their impressive performance in the 3-0 win over Israel.

"Also mentions go to the 'little guy', with Iceland keeper Arni Arason heavily involved in the 1-1 draw with Spain and veteran Malta defender Brian Said on target in his side's shock draw with Turkey," the report on the TV channel's website said.

Eurosport.com team of the week: Arason (Iceland); Said (Malta); Thuram (France); Diarra (France); Richards (England); McFadden (Scotland); Fletcher (Scotland); Barry (England); Wright-Phillips (England); Heskey (England); Da Silva (Croatia).
