Very much so. It ties in with Gareth Southgate appearing to be very risk averse too. Largely proves that point I guess, or certainly helps to.

Done - £5 on it's way to the hospice

Player of the Tournament Nico Williams - I don't think any players emerged as a new superstar this tournament, but for me Nico Williams is everything a winger should be - fast, direct and can score goals. And performed at a consistently high level. Most Disappointing Team Italy - I thought that they're a really poor team now. Especially as they were the previous champions. Surprise Package No one comes to mind - maybe Georgia as they gave it a real go. Best Individual Team Performance Again no one really springs to mind. Hang on, Austria 3 - 2 Netherlands. So Austria there. Match of the Tournament Spain 2 - 1 Germany Goal of the Tournament Olly Watkins vs the Dutch Team of the Tournament Can't think. But some players that stood out for me were Nico Williams, Fabian Ruiz and Pedri of Spain. Also Florian Wirtz of Germany. Cole Palmer too, when he was on the pitch.

I think under Southgate England aren't a team that are going to pressurise opponents with attacking football. So even if the Spanish were a bit vulnerable at times England weren't going to make them pay. I certainly think he's made some bad tactical decisions. Anyway, for me Spain were deserving winners throughout the tournament. So am pleased for them, but obviously wished England had been a bit more adventurous and gone and won it.

I'm very relaxed. Just listening to a 'Faith no More' record from 1990. So i'm superchilled. Doubt i'll get nervous as what's going to be is going to be. I'm sure i'll be excited though and hoping for an England win. It's about time

Mbappe is a match winner though. I think in Finals, players like that become more important, as that's basically why they're viewed as being so great. That's what basically swung it for me. As he's done it in recent Finals.

Tough one this. Really like Paul's wingers, but had to go with Gunman due to Mbappe. I think if Paul had Mitrovic up front instead of Felix I might have voted for him. But good luck to both.

Looks like he's about to host 'This is Your Life'

Not lucky at all, in my opinion anyway. A real strikers goal I think.

Difficult choice here. But went for Scott as he's got a really good spine to his team. Carry on like this and Eddie Howe might be asking him for advice

I think you're underrating JDs team a bit there. He's got some very good players. I think this one will be neck and neck.

I think JD egdes it for me as I think its a better balanced team overall. Close though.

I think this may be a comfortable win for Spain as I just think that if they can get an early goal, France don't have the attacking threat to come back from that.

Spain vs England for me.

Wow the first game especially, was very difficult to call. Ultimately I went with SCR as I think his midfield maybe makes the difference. But Scott has a really good team there. So I would expect this to be close. Similar in the 2nd game too. Very close call. But chose Paul, purely because of his wingers.
