The group stage is over!

Voting is closed, so we will soon find out who is through to the next stage...

It's going to be goodbye to this trio, who used to play together at Real Madrid.

Pepe (the oldest player in these Euros at 38 years old) is down on only 1% in Group D, Karim Benzema is only slightly doing better at 2% in Group A, with Luka Modric also set to miss out on top spot in that group.

By the end of the day we will have our champion. This is how the knockout stages will work later on.

The group stage votes close at 11:00 BST and then it's on to the last 16 with the group winners advancing and everyone else eliminated.

Bit cheeky to include Alan Shearer in this list? After all, he's probably best remembered for his exploits in the 1990s but he did play at Euro 2000, so gets in.

Our picks probably give away that we are of a certain age, but Shearer is undoubtedly up against some tough competition in this group - one club legend Francesco Totti, former Spain and Barcelona architect Andres Iniesta and David Villa, who was top scorer of the tournament as Spain won Euro 2008.

Gary's selection: Alan Shearer

Michael's selection: Alan Shearer.

Defensive solidity and a bit of midfield pizzazz in this group.

All bring different qualities to the table, ex-Liverpool man Xabi Alonso was a classy midfield operator, few players would get past either Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany or Barcelona defender Gerard Pique and David Silva, another City legend, was pure midfield silk.

Gary's selection: Xabi Alonso.

Michael's selection: Vincent Kompany.

Show me a cooler person in the world of football than Andrea Pirlo.

I'll wait.

Management has not yet quite worked out for Andrea Pirlo but as a player there were few so cool and as talented as the former Italy midfielder.

Up against him are England defensive legends Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand and Dutch forward Robin van Persie, who scored possibly the most satisfying diving headed goal in history for the Netherlands against Spain at the 2014 World Cup.

Gary's selection: Andrea Pirlo.

Not too many right-backs have featured in this so far and understandably as they would be hard pressed to oust Philipp Lahm as one of the best in that position in the world.

Will it be enough to see him through to the next round? It won't be easy against the imperious Carles Puyol, the deadly Dennis Bergkamp or defensive rock Nemanja Vidic.

Gary's selection: Dennis Bergkamp.

Michael's selection: Dennis Bergkamp.

Steve Webb: Who in their right mind rates CR7, Thierry Henry, Larsson, Zidane, Pirlo, Maldini above Paul Konchesky? He wasn't even an option!

The mind boggles, Steve

Ukraine's all-time top scorer Andriy Shevnchenko makes it onto the list but has he enough to progress from a tough-looking Group L?

He's up against England and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, prolific Italian forward Alessandro del Piero and Dutch defensive giant Virgil van Dijk.

Who's your bet to make it through to the next stage?

Gary's selection: Alessandro del Piero.

Michael's selection: Frank Lampard.

What do you go for here? Creative brilliance in attack or goalkeeping par excellence at the back?

In a way there's two mini-battles in play here with former Chelsea shotstopper Petr Cech up against ex-Bayern Munich stalwart Oliver Khan and Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard taking on Barcelona's legendary pass master Xavi.

We are both unanimous in our choices, but what say you?

Gary's selection: Xavi.

Michael's selection: Xavi.

Dom in London: A shame Rooney was in the same group as Zidane. Would have been interesting to see if he got the respect he deserves.

Imagine a team that has John Terry in defence, Robert Lewandowski in attack, David Beckham pinging in the crosses from out wide and Deco running the show in midfield. Unstoppable.

Unfortunately, they can't all go through, so who do you choose?

Gary's selection: David Beckham.

Michael's selection: David Beckham.

Gianluigi Buffon has been keeping out goals for probably as long as many of our readers have been alive and it will certainly be the end of an era when the legendary goalkeeper puts away his gloves for the final time.

But he's up against some tough opponents in this group - Ex-Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard was once described as the best midfielder in the world by Pele, Thomas Muller is arguably one of the most complete players to have played the game and few read the game better than Alessandro Nesta.

Gary's selection: Gianluigi Buffon.

Michael's selection: Steven Gerrard.

Ed in London: Group H with Fabregas, Maldini, Neuer and Raul is impossible to call. You'd have to blindfold yourself and pick one of them out of a hat - all absolute legends. Having said that I have a hunch the masses will err in Maldini's favour.

Some of the groups have a very clear leader at the moment, but Group E is the closest of the lot.

Who's going to take the glory in this one? Clarence Seedorf of the Netherlands is leading the way with 50 minutes of voting to go, but Gareth Bale, Pavel Nedved and Franck Ribery aren't far behind.

Another mix of excellence across the pitch in these four.

Cesc Fabregas is a two-time European Championship winner superbly capable of managing the tempo of games, Paolo Maldini - one of the all time one-club legends - was named in the team of the tournament for three European Championships, Manuel Neuer was last year recognised as the best goalkeeper in the world while Raul is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of Spanish football.

Who is your pick to go into the next round?

Gary's selection: Paolo Maldini.

Michael's selection: Paolo Maldini.
