[SeasiderDude95]

i thought boateng was a bit dodgy this tournament

 

[voltage]

Idk, I appreciated Boateng's performances. Germany team structure helps him but generally I liked him.

 

[JimJams]

Milik? The poor mans Lewandowski was pants. As was the rich mans Lewandowski, Lewandowski.

 

[voltage]

In the matches of Poland I saw Milik pleased me very much. I can't remember an attack man that impressed me on this Euro other than Griezmann but I honestly enjoyed Milik's potential. The boy runs too much and for many times he was the most offensive of team. In some games I even preferred his performance than Lewandowski's.

UEFA's team of the tournament.

 

[Stevencc]

Similar to the above but I would drop Allen in favour of playing ten men.

 

[G-Dragon]

Similar to the above but I would drop Allen in favour of playing ten men.

Why not replace him with Pogba?

[Renegade]

Renato Sanches and Nani should have been included, both outplayed their captain. Nani was fantastic in this tournament.

-------------------- Lloris
Kimmich - Bonucci - Pepe - Guerreiro
-------------------- Kroos
---------- Sanches --- Ramsey
Nani ------- Griezmann ------ Payet

Pepe, Kroos, Griezmann, Payet and Nani have to be in for me. Probably have a couple of Welsh in there - Williams, Bale and Ramsey most likely.

Keeper is tricky for me. Lloris is a shout but did let in 2 soft goals against Iceland. I don't recall Patricio doing anything out of the ordinary, but then again I don't remember any major fuck ups by him either. The one I enjoyed watching more than any other was Buffon probably.

I'll fill the other couple of spots with players I personally enjoyed watching even if their teams didn't excel, so I'm going for Kyle Walker and Andres Iniesta

Buffon
Walker - Pepe - Williams
Nani - Kroos - Iniesta - Ramsey - Payet
Griezmann - Bale​

Yes I'm aware the team isn't that balanced.

Honorary mentions for Gunnarsson, Kimmich and Modric.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Ashley Williams was Wales' third best centre half during the tournament.

 

[thespus]

Patricio
Cedric - Bonucci - Pepe - Guerreiro
Ramsey - Carvahlo
Griezmann - Bale - Payet
Giroud

Players like Modric, Iniesta, and Gilik all impressed me, but didn't play deep into the tournament. I understand those that disagree with Giroud, but he scored and assisted big goals, and his aerial ability created lots of chances and space for the French attack. I can't think of a proper striker who played a better tournament.

Kroos, Özil, Williams & Chester, De Bruyne, Hazard, Perisic, Krychowiak, and Sissoko all impressed me.

 

[mnb089mnb]

One of the oddest things about the team of the tournament from UEFA is that Ronaldo was the only player anyone would even slightly class as a "striker", and even he transcends that role. Not sure there will be many centre forwards around by the time Euro 2020 comes.

Cedric - Bonucci - Pepe - Guerreiro
Ramsey - Carvahlo
Griezmann - Bale - Payet

Giroud?

Why not go the whole hog and put Wilshere in!

I can't pick a striker that contributed more. I would not dissent the inclusion of Ronaldo, or moving Griezmann up to accommodate another midfielder.

Giroud and Wilshere had vastly different contributions to the tournament.

 

[Stevencc]

So England had the final referee and the most creative right back.

It's coooooming home, it's cooooming home.
