He sucked pretty much every time he played for France lately. On top of that, he isn't a discplined player. He might enter later in the game if we're still unable to create anything in the midfield because "what the hell" but Deschamps doesn't consider him reliable to apply instructions.

Is he still lacking the football IQ part? Do you think he'll eventually turn into a top class player and put it all together?
 
That's a damn penalty all day long, he clearly clips his leg which causes him to lose balance. Running at that pace, a clip like that is enough to put you off balance. Stupid defending.

Yep. I'm guessing all the people complaining have never played the game. Real players learn early that if you are clipped in the box you go down because it's almost impossible to regain your balance.
 
Pogba is too lethargic against this pressing Argentinian midfield. He’ll be too slow to release the ball and end up trying to hold off 3 players before he inevitably loses the ball
Not for France, what you see for Utd doesn't apply for him at the national team level. Anyway, it's speculation
 
There are no impact subs for France, the only way back for them is a quick goal with a red for the Argies.
 
I wonder if the Virus thing is affecting France. They looking so bad, no energy, disinterested. The first pen (a bit soft) is changing the game.

I think it is, they are so lethargic, the midfield look a shadow of what they were all tournie.
 
You’re not though you’re making crap up. The referee sees the contact so it’s not going to VAR. the rules don’t change for the final.

Lost their opening game to Saudi Arabia and were 0-0 in their next two games and in serious danger of heading out. Has to be the worst conspiracy theory ever, you absolute mentalist.

Curious, i do drive a DS.
 
Because it's the final of the world cup.

And 90% of watching wouldn't give that a as a pen.

The least you could do is go and watch it by yourself. Then make the decision.

I'm not squealing. Just stating the facts.

And my hat is woolen.
Come on, that was a pen. He tripped him from behind, there was contact, how is it not a pen?
 
Messi has been everywhere 1st half . Tracking back, tackling.
Mbappe standing about scratching his baws
 
The only thing that would make this somewhat exciting was a France goal. Unfortunately for them Wieghorst is dutch

Yeah lots of stupid perspectives in this thread. Either biased or never played football in their lifes
 
I want distance covered stats. Feels like France didn't run at all.

He wouldn't be more lethargic on the ball than Rabiot or Tchouameni. United fans need to quit projecting what the feel about Pogba in england.
 
As in, you think the virus hitting the team is make believe? Really?
I know viruses can drain you and at top level, could be difference in making a tackle or just too late but has it hit “the team” though or a couple of players?

Most reports say Konate and Varane main impact (who were isolated) and Deschamps said likely down to temp drop/air con. And he still didn’t ask Benzema ,….. who’d probably have told him to feck off :)
 
A France goal and I'll be shitting bricks. Argentina collapsed vs Holland and Australia.
