From what I've seen, in no particular order:

Elseid Hysaj (Albania and Napoli) – really impressive right-back, was impeccable defensively and supported the attack well with his crosses too.
Dmitri Payet (France and West Ham) – his fairy-tale season continues. Starting to look like a leader in a talent-packed French side and their only true #10.
Marek Hamsik (Slovakia and Napoli) – he underperformed for his national team in the past, but this time he plays like a real mature leader and super-star.
Ivan Perisic (Croatia and Inter) – Klopp's former protegé who didn't quite make it in Dortmund, but is now proving Klopp's initial judgement right both for club and country.
Iniesta (Spain and Barca) – this tournament is probably the swan-song of the great player. We just have to shut up and enjoy every minute.
Krychowiak (Poland and Sevilla) – a battling DM with intelligence and even some play-making qualities. PSG seems to be signing him this summer.
Jerome Boateng (Germany and Bayern) – seems to have matured into Germany's best CB. His confidence on the ball and ability to spray passes like a proper DLP has grown so much under Guardiola's tutelage. He is making even Hummels look almost ordinary.
Walker and Clyne (England RBs) – clear MOM performances in each of England'd 3 games so far, which is good for them, but not such a good sign if you're England...
Gareth Bale – I didn't see any Wales games except vs England, but I heard he was a bit good... It pays for smaller nations to build their game around one super-star, if they have one.

The best managers so far, I think, were Conte, Del Bosque and De Biasi (manager of Albania). Coleman also has to take credit for Wales winning the group.

Yes, I probably should have had Modric too. But on the other hand, they managed to beat Spain without him.
 
Yeh, it's incredibly frustrating that Englands best two players play in the same position, sods law that. One option might be to play Clyne as a left back which is has done in the past, but he'd no doubt lose effectiveness making it pointless.
 
Have been really impressed by Hysaj.

Perisic has also been excellent. Shame we didnt move for him when he left Wolfsburg for Inter.
 
Very good list, would add Srna and Vrjlasko of Croatia.

Nani of Portugal and Morata of Spain.

Kroos has been the stand out Germany player imo.

If you watch or track any of the Erdevise you'd know he's class. I don't base it off a few games in a tournament.
