A competition as intense as Euro 2012 has produced some of the best faces we've seen.

What exactly do we mean by the best faces, you ask? Well, we aren't going with the usual criteria of good-looking faces. Anything that's just silly-looking or good material to poke fun at can be found here.

Whether they are displaying exasperation, despair, joy or just contorting their faces in some weird manner, the players and fans in Ukraine and Poland have given photographers some great pictures.

Take that picture of Joe Hart above. He looks like he could make his way into an Italian mob film with that face, doesn't he? The apparent finger-waving helps him in that respect, too.

Here are the 20 best faces of Euro 2012.

Annoyed Polish Fan

A Polish supporter exclaims over what I can only presume is some sort of wrongdoing against or by his team during their last group game against the Czech Republic.

Giorgos Karagounis

After receiving a yellow card that left him suspended from Greece's quarterfinal game, Greek captain Giorgos Karagounis' reaction started off like this.

It was basically a Greek version of Paul Gascoigne's similar reaction to a yellow in the 1990 World Cup semifinal. Reaction begins at about the 1:09 mark.
