“I agree that there hasn’t been a bona fide classic this tournament, like France-Argentina last time around,” says Kári Tulinius,
I think the defence of the tournament is pretty clear, Tagliafico, Gvardiol, Varane and Hakimi. I’m less sure about midfielders and forwards, but I think I’d go for Tchouaméni, Modric and Griezmann in midfield, and Messi, Mbappé and Giroud up front. I agree England v France was the highest standard, and we got some good extra-time in Brazil v Croatia, but yeah, the final round of group games was when this tournament peaked. I can have three of that back four – Tagliafico isn’t getting in mine though I’m not sure who is. I love Modric but don’t think he played that well in this tournament – I’d have Casemiro and the two Moroccan lads ahead of him and Tchouameni, I think. I also think I’m having Álvarez before Giroud.
