Yeah but you have to say they probably would have, both were easily one of the 16 best performing teams. Norn Iron too.

Depends whether the qualifying groups would have been different I suppose?
They wouldn't have been, seeding was the same and 6 teams per group is a kind of fixed compromise.

I expect we would have had nine group winners + three best runners-up (12), and six teams playing off. Think Wales and Iceland would have been among the best runners-up even.

Didn't Iceland only fall to 2nd after wrapping up qualification early? If so then can argue they'd probably have won their group if they'd needed to anyway.

UEFA have announced their Team of the Tournament, and who picked it? Joe Allen..........Ronaldo at striker........No Bale.........Come on UEFA.

Kimmich sticks out like a sore thumb given that he played twice in that position and his defining contribution was an epic **** up for the second French goal. Chris Gunter the obvious choice there.

Seems to only include players from the semis but if allowed I'd have Naingollan in for Allen, Bonucci in for Boateng. Both are basically fine though. Tough tournament to pick a team from.

Bale wasn't that good tbh. Meant to ask if he was carrying an injury because he contributed virtually nothing against Belgium or Portugal.
