My team of the tournament is this. It will be interesting to see what other teams people have included.
Pickford Trippier Varane Umtit Pavard De Bruyne Modric Pogba Hazard Mbappe Kane (cheated slightly by having both Trippier and Pavard, but couldn't decide on a LB and couldn't choose between them two RBs).
Also cheated with Pavard and Trippier for the same reasons as Nutter. Yes, it's unbalanced, but I've done a Garth Crooks, alright?
Harry Kane? The guy was nowhere near one of the best players at the tournament Sorry but de Bruyne had a pretty average tournament and there were plenty better than him. Rakitic and coutinho to name a couple
Courtouis Trippier Varane Umtiti Strinic Modric Coutinho Rakitic Kante Mbappe Perisic Subs Pickford Godin Vida Pavard Hazard Pogba Griezmann I only put pogba and griezmann in to make up 7 subs. They weren't very good but I don't think anyone else outperformed them at the tournament. There mainly in there for how they worked for the team and chipped in with a few goals assists and moments of quality

Jesus some people do over rate Kante hugely So called DM who gets knocked off the ball and for his size is very slow And he never never scores any goals a midfielder has to chip in at some point with goals 3 goals in 3 years for Leicester and Chelsea ( 2 years winning the league so not shy from scoring ) And 1 goal for France full stop !
Well, he was the tournament's top scorer. Shouldn't be a surprise that people would consider him for a team of the tournament.
Paulinho and Neymar should be nowhere near that list. Golovin should bein midfield, or Rakatic. Didn't think Lovren was as good as Vida, although he was probably around top 5 CBs. I didn't think Griezmann was that good. Would rather have Gitoud or Lukaku.
He would have been in my team before Sunday tbh. He had a good tournament overall but mistake in the final took the shine off it. Can't believe Paulinho and Neymar have made that squad.
