This might actually be the most embarrassing 3 year span of results from any top nation ever.

Odd how people observe how good Pogba is when he plays in a legit 3 man central midfield surrounded by top talent and is afforded time and space.

United and the Premier League aren't Juve, France, nor international football.

Club football in England is much more hectic and allows for less space in behind or in front of you.

Germany is fecked. Can't see them scoring. Is this even more embarrassing than getting knocked out by South Korea in Russia 2018? Getting knocked out at home by a team you're massively favoured to win. Can't believe Low last game in charge is getting exited like this so meekly.
How else was he going to go out? Löw deserves nothing more than this.

Basically the game is too fast for him and he loses the ball far too often.

International debut in the last 10 minutes of the group of death in a must not lose game. No pressure Dalot...

Pogba has had more than enough chances to play in a legit 3 man midfield for United and he's shown that it just doesn't work him in the premier league especially against the top teams. The pace is too quick and he's too lazy defensively.

France is playing a 4231 with Pogba playing next to Kante which isn't a true 433

Weren't Portugal supposed to get 9 points from this group if they benched Ronnie? -_-
