Well the way to win for Italy is to pay UEFA and the refs a decent amount of money similar to what the English FA supposedly has. Italy has no chance otherwise. UEFA has nothing to do with football.
I am Danish, so yeah I know how we got robbed yesterday by the Dutch ref.italy beat every team pretty decisively …. England dived and the refs wouldn’t go to VAR. I mean you can yell Fake news all you want. Doesn’t change the fact Denmark got screwed and Italy beat 2 out the best teams in Europe to be in the final.

I'd have Pogba in the team for sure. For manager, I'd pick Enrique, with Mancini and Hjulmand behind him. It was pretty even between the managers until the semifinals. I thought Mancini's starting plan was pretty ineffective, with Spain being the much more dominant team (although Mancini fixed things by switching to Spain's formation, to his credit), and Hjulmand subbing Damsgaard off made Denmark pretty blunt.A bit bored, here are my nominations for the team of the tournament so far:
CF: Kane, Schick, Lukaku
LM: Sterling, Insigne, Damsgaard, Ronaldo, Forsberg
RM: Chiesa, Yarmolenko, Sarabia
AM: Pedri, De Bruyne, Zuber
Mids (2): Jorginho, Hojbjerg, Pogba, Kroos, Xhaka, Phillips, Busquets, Wijnaldum
LB: Spinazzola, Shaw, Maehle, Gosens
RB: Walker, Dumfries, Meunier
CBs (2): Chiellini, Kjaer, Stones, Laporte, Maguire, Bonucci
GK: Sommer, Donnarumma, Schmeichel
I would probably select the following as the team, obviously influenced heavily by the 2 finalists:
Kane
Sterling - Pedri - Chiesa
Jorginho - Hojbjerg
Spinazzola - Chiellini - Kjaer - Walker
Sommer
He dominated that game, as he did most of France's games, and scored that game anyway. Once incident doesn't invalidate the fact that he's been one of the best midfielders of the tournament.No way you can have Pogba in the team after that giveaway and the way France went out. Just more deserving players.
