Pogba really is incredible. He's starting to turn into the player he has potential to be.

Nah, I've been clear that I think Pogba is immensely talented. I've been a fan for a long time. This is the first season where he has actually performed in line with how people perceive him though. I watch him plenty every season and there has been a clear discrepancy between how he was rated and how he has actually performed. People calling him the best midfielder in the world when he was the third or even fourth best midfielder in his own team was obviously down to the way he looks.
Brilliant goal by Giroud v Scotland.
France are just turning it on and off at will, playing the most casual football and utterly molesting Scotland. A second by Giroud thanks to Payet just lighting the pitch up.
3-0 Koscielny. Not even 40 min yet.
Putting down some money on France to win the whole thing.
France have got some proper talent again.
Payet is on fire right now. Unplayable at times. France does have a problem at back though.
Evra was great last night, very supportive of Olly. Good to see that the team is very much behind him.
Who all still start in attack for France? Giroud, Payet and Griezmann? Or will Martial/Coman replace one of them?
I reckon it'll be Payet/Giroud/Griezmann with Martial and Coman as impact subs. Awesome impact subs to have too, their mad pace will be deadly against tired legs.
Super Victor! 😆

Matuidi/Kante behind Pogba.
Martial, Giroud, Greizmann
Personally think it will be Payet.
Because it's Romania, you're right. No need for both Matuidi/Kante. Kante dropped, Payet there.
Payet could easily play ahead of Martial or Griezman based on form. In absolutely insane form right now. Never rated him so much before, and I still have the feeling he'll be a one season wonder. But I don't see France dropping him.
Payet will start, not a doubt in my mind about it. Martial and Coman will be on the bench.
Yup. Would like to see them lined up like this:
Giroud Martial Griez Payet Pogba Kante
and just bench Matuidi.
I don't like him either. Matuidi would be my candidate for that thread about overrated footballers with good resumés. He has managed to fool every coach he's had that he's a good player for some reason. He's exactly half as good as Kante at everything and should be ashamed to even be on the same pitch as someone like Pogba.
Good odds on Giroud scoring the first goal tonight, by the way. I'm punting some money on it in the hope of building up a budget to use throughout the rest of the tournament.

I mean for Martial.
Their midfield trio is incredibly athletic and works very well.
