For me, Jordan Pickford. No contest.

And I have to say; a team with a member (indeed I think it was their Captain) who pulls a player down by his shirt, almost strangling him, and doesn't even get a yellow card should be disqualified. I gasped when I saw it.

Presumably Saka could have punched him in the face and that would be ok too?

Yes we were the more "sporting" side - wasn't hard! Shocking fouling by the Italians and I think their captain should have been sent off for it; especially as Saka had a pretty clear run on goal and was nearly garotted...

Pickford a top runner for me as well; pulled off some wonderful saves and waa very instrumental in getting us to the finsl. But I would plump for Sterling over Pickford (just). Not effective for long periods tonight but for the tournament as a whole his running, dribbles & goals got us where we got.

Shaw was also consistently very effective in every match.

We have a very talented (young) team, an intelligent, thoughtful and gracious manager who is improving us all the time.

I look forward to the World Cup.

England did us proud.

Pickford won the Golden Glove (most clean sheets) and Ronaldo the Golden Boot (most goals).

What about the Yorkshire Pirlo? Kalvin Phillips.

Again very consistent and impressive gelf. I also thought Declan Rice was brilliant and worked tirelessly. Lots to look forward to next winter in the World Cup; even if the hype will be unbearably silly!
