surely Ronaldo shud b in?

he was top scorer after all
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is
At least on the list I'm referring to. You'd think there'd be just one official UEFA team of the tournament but reading these comments above I gather there's different best XI sides for this tournament

Shaw wasn’t on it, though he should have been. Case to be made for the entire back four being the England team’s.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thankfully, most balanced analysts of the game look beyond stats and recognise that back 4s can be made to look good by utilising ultra defensive team formations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Indeed. England also played a back 5 more than they played a 4. That plus 2 out and out holding mids in every game, and playing for a manager without an attacking bone in his body, kinda makes it easier to rack up clean sheets.

At the business end of the tournament, Italy’s defence also had to play Belgium, Spain and England at a packed Wembley. England defended well, but let’s not kid on they didn’t have quite a lot in their favour to achieve that.

Precisely this. Easy to look defensively solid when you are petrified of losing and play 7 defensive players in your line up. Brighton manage to do well defensively yet play expansive attacking football.

England d-fence was grate but at the cost of everything else.

ur GK was grate also

thx man

was worried 4 first 15 mins or so but then we settled.

wish we had played better tho, worst per-4-mance of tournament imo but happy 2 get the win.

We had you for a while, you looked worried. Then you started to play and that was that. Future is bright for both nations.

yer

despite our lack of experience (apart from CBs), we dealt with different types of adversity v Austria, Spain, England well.

Englands coach cuddadone better.
