What is your team of the tournament?

And how does it align / differ with some of the above choices?
 
Replace Magure with Varane. The English bias is strong. Maguire had a good tournament, but England lost in the QF, while France got to the final.

I would also replace Livakovic with Emiliano Martinez in goal.
 
The fact that they didn’t select the best keeper & best young player - Martinez & Enzo Fernández - is quite ridiculous.
 
I thought Sky's team would have been:

Pickford
Walker
Shaw
Maguire
Stones
Bellingham
Henderson
Saka
Sterling
Kane
Rice
