Complete Squad List for Euro 2008

A round-up of all the Euro 2008 squads after deadline day.
FRANCE
Mathieu Flamini and Djibril Cisse were the highest-profile casualties as France coach Raymond Domenech settled on his final 23-man party.
Midfielder Flamini, who recently left Arsenal for Milan, was left out as Domenech favoured Lassana Diarra, Claude Makele, Patrick Vieira and Jeremy Toulalan for the central midfield positions.
Cisse proved the fall guy as Bafetimbi Gomis earned a surprise place in the squad a day after celebrating his first cap with two goals in a 2-0 warm-up win over Ecuador.
Domenech, who had to cross out seven names from a provisional list of 30 players announced earlier this month, decided to keep the 22-year-old St Etienne striker.
The French boast a formidable list of forwards including Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Nicolas Anelka and Lyon starlet Karim Benzema. There was no place for David Trezeguet.
Goalkeepers: Gregory Coupet (Olympique Lyon), Sebastien Frey (Fiorentina), Steve Mandanda (Olympique Marseille).
Defenders: Eric Abidal (Barcelona), Jean-Alain Boumsong (Lyon), Francois Clerc (Olympique Lyon), Sebastien Squillaci (Olympique Lyon), William Gallas (Arsenal), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), Willy Sagnol (Bayern Munich), Lilian Thuram (Barcelona).
Midfielders: Lassana Diarra (Portsmouth), Claude Makelele (Chelsea), Florent Malouda (Chelsea), Samir Nasri (Olympique Marseille), Jeremy Toulalan (Olympique Lyon), Patrick Vieira (Inter Milan).
Forwards: Nicolas Anelka (Chelsea), Karim Benzema (Olympique Lyon), Sidney Govou (Olympique Lyon), Bafetimbi Gomis (St Etienne), Thierry Henry (Barcelona), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich).
ITALY
Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo has been cut from Italy's Euro 2008 squad. Coach Roberto Donadoni named a 24-man squad last week and waited until the UEFA deadline to decide on the one player he had to drop.
Montolivo, who has one cap, had been expected to be the unlucky player having been a surprise pick in the initial squad. Udinese striker Fabio Quagliarella and AS Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani were the other likely contenders.
Midfielder Simone Perrotta has also recovered from a slight calf problem.
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus), Marco Amelia (Livorno), Morgan De Sanctis (Sevilla)
Defenders: Fabio Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Marco Materazzi (Internazionale), Christian Panucci (Roma), Andrea Barzagli (Palermo), Gianluca Zambrotta (Barcelona), Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus), Fabio Grosso (Lyon)

Forwards: Luca Toni (Bayern Munich), Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus), Antonio Di Natale (Udinese), Marco Borriello (Genoa), Fabio Quagliarella (Udinese), Antonio Cassano (Sampdoria, on loan from Real Madrid)
NETHERLANDS
Netherlands coach Marco van Basten omitted former Chelsea defender Khalid Boulahrouz from his squad in favour of Wigan captain Mario Melchiot.
Boulahrouz, now of Sevilla, joined the party when Clarence Seedorf decided to opt out of the tournament.
However former Netherlands striker Van Basten - who scored a stunning volley in the final of the competition in 1988 - ultimately selected Melchiot.
The defender missed the 3-0 win over Ukraine on Saturday with a knock.
Goalkeepers: Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United), Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax Amsterdam), Henk Timmer (Feyenoord)
Defenders: Wilfred Bouma (Aston Villa), Tim de Cler (Feyenoord), John Heitinga (Ajax), Joris Mathijsen (Hamburg), Mario Melchiot (Wigan), Andre Ooijer (Blackburn Rovers)

Forwards: Ryan Babel (Liverpool), Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Ajax), Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Ruud van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Arjen Robben (Real Madrid), Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (Celtic).
ROMANIA
Romania coach Victor Piturca dropped Dinamo Bucharest striker Florin Bratu having already sent home injured midfielder Ovidiu Petre, goalkeeper Danut Coman and uncapped midfielder Ciprian Deac from his provisional squad.
Experienced 28-year-old Bratu had been in good form for his club at the end of the domestic championship but Piturca decided to leave him at home.
Goalkeepers: Bogdan Lobont (Dinamo Bucharest), Eduard Stanciou (CFR Cluj), Marius Popa (Poli Stiinta Timisoara)
Defenders: Cosmin Contra (Getafe), Dorin Goian (Steaua Bucharest), Sorin Ghionea (Steaua Bucharest), Gabriel Tamas (Auxerre), Cosmin Moti (Dinamo Bucharest), Cristian Sapunaru (Rapid Bucharest), Razvan Rat (Shakhtar Donetsk), Stefan Radu (Lazio);

Forwards: Adrian Mutu (Fiorentina), Ciprian Marica (VfB Stuttgart), Daniel Niculae (Auxerre), Marius Niculae (Inverness Caledonian Thistle).
GERMANY
Germany coach Joachim Loew cut the inexperienced trio of Marko Marin, Jermaine Jones and Patrick Helmes when he named his final 23-man squad for Euro 2008.
Marin, the 19-year-old Borussia Moenchengladbach winger, had yet to win his first cap when he was named to Loew's provisional squad earlier this month, while Schalke midfielder Jones and Cologne striker Helmes had played just five times between them.
"All three of the players did fantastically well in training and would have taken well earned places in the squad," coach Loew said.
Goalkeepers: Jens Lehmann (Arsenal), Robert Enke (Hanover 96), Rene Adler (Bayer Leverkusen)
Defenders: Christoph Metzelder (Real Madrid), Per Mertesacker (Werder Bremen), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Arne Friedrich (Hertha Berlin), Marcell Jansen (Bayern Munich), Clemens Fritz (Werder Bremen), Heiko Westermann (Schalke 04)

Forwards: Miroslav Klose (Bayern Munich), Lukas Podolski (Bayern Munich), Mario Gomez (VfB Stuttgart), Kevin Kuranyi (Schalke 04), Oliver Neuville (Borussia Moenchengladbach)
CROATIA
Croatia manager Slaven Bilic has dropped midfielder Anas Sharbini and defender Manuel Pamic from his squad.
He said that the two players who lost out on a place in the squad would travel with the team to Austria and take part in training.
"Sharbini and Pamic are young prospects and they will come with us because they can fill in positions where we might have problems during the tournament," he said.
Goalkeepers: Stipe Pletikosa (Spartak Moscow), Vedran Runje (Lens), Mario Galinovic (Panathinaikos)
Defenders: Vedran Corluka (Manchester City), Dario Simic (Milan), Robert Kovac (Borussia Dortmund), Josip Simunic (Hertha Berlin), Dario Knezevic (Livorno), Hrvoje Vejic (Tom Tomsk)

POLAND
Poland coach Leo Beenhakker has dropped Grzegorz Bronowicki as well as Radoslaw Majewski and Radoslaw Matusiak from his final Euro 2008 squad.
In the case of Bronowicki, Beenhakker decided to drop him due to a slow recuperation from a knee injury.
Beenhakker said Majewski, 21, was still too young while Matusiak, who scored several vital goals in the qualifiers, has struggled to find his form.
Goalkeepers: Artur Boruc (Celtic), Tomasz Kuszczak (Manchester United), Lukasz Fabianski (Arsenal)
Defenders: Michal Zewlakow (Olympiakos), Marcin Wasilewski (Anderlecht), Adam Kokoszka (Wisla Krakow), Mariusz Jop (FK Moscow), Jacek Bak (Austria Vienna), Jakub Wawrzyniak (Legia Warsaw), Pawel Golanski (Steaua Bucharest)

AUSTRIA
Austria coach Josef Hickersberger has named his 23-man squad for Euro 2008, adding Martin Harnik as a surprise fourth striker alongside Roland Linz, Erwin Hoffer and Roman Kienast.
Juergen Macho and Alex Manninger will compete for the first-choice spot in goal after a serious stomach complaint forced goalkeeper Helge Payer to pull out of the team earlier this week.
Hickersberger left out Rapid Vienna's Stefan Maierhofer, who played a key part in the team's league title success with seven goals in 11 appearances.
Goalkeepers: Alexander Manninger (Siena), Juergen Macho (AEK Athens), Ramazan Ozcan (Hoffenheim)
Defenders: Gyorgy Garics (Napoli), Ronald Gercaliu (Austria Vienna), Martin Hiden (Kaernten), Markus Katzer (Rapid Vienna), Juergen Patocka (Rapid Vienna), Emmanuel Pogatetz (Middlesbrough), Sebastian Proedl (Sturm Graz), Martin Stranzl (Spartak Moscow)

Former captain and all-time leading scorer Raul and Barcelona teenager Bojan Krkic were left out of the Spain squad.
The surprise inclusions in coach Luis Aragones' 23-man squad were uncapped Villarreal midfielder Santi Cazorla and Real Zaragoza forward Sergio Garcia.
Poor campaigns from Valencia and Espanyol cost the former's Joaquin, David Albelda and Fernando Morientes their places as well as the latter's Albert Riera, Luis Garcia and Raul Tamudo.
Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas (Real Madrid), Pepe Reina (Liverpool), Andres Palop (Sevilla)
Defenders: Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Joan Capdevila (Villarreal), Raul Albiol (Valencia), Carles Puyol (Barcelona), Carlos Marchena (Valencia), Fernando Navarro (Real Mallorca), Alvaro Arbeloa (Liverpool), Juanito (Real Betis)

Pavlenko, who plays for Spartak Moscow, and fellow midfielder Ivanov, who plays for Krylya Sovietov Samara, were included in a provisional 25-man list but had a little chance of making the final selection.
"Both of them have made a good impression but unfortunately we had to make a choice," Hiddink said.
Goalkeepers: Igor Akinfeyev (CSKA Moscow), Vyacheslav Malafeyev (Zenit St Petersburg), Vladimir Gabulov (Amkar Perm)

The 36-year-old, currently playing for Helsingborg, retired from international football following his nation's second round exit from the World Cup in 2006.
But doubts remain over the fitness of West Ham midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, who is struggling after sustaining a rib injury at the end of last month.
