I know Bruno has been a godsend For Man Utd, but Pogba is a much better player and footballer IMO.

Pogba kicks a ball and reads the long-game well.

Fucking horrendous as a player to rely on, because you literally need to pat his bum to make sure it happens

Thomas Vermaelen despite being 35 years old and playing in Japan is having a good tournament so far.

Shame that he was so injury-prone during his career, when he was fit and played constantly he was a really good CB.

He was always good player! So not surprised.

Injuries ruined his club career.

Yeah.

He does look disinterested sometimes.

Would be interesting if Man Utd do the Pogba for Ronaldo switcheroo there's been talk about.

France to Atletico their way to another major trophy? I'll be better off watching paint dry

France best chance is to score now. They lost Hernandez, the most Atletico defender and prolly the best defender of this team.

France might play Lenglet/Varane as CB and Kimpembe as LB.

Both Pogba and Bruno are players that will try the most decisive thing a lot of the times (Bruno even more, Pogba just wants to show off some of the time) and when it works, some people go crazy, but when it doesn't, they are treated like bums.

I don't like their playing styles, I want more control, but I think if you rate them when they succeed, you should rate them when they fail too, and not make explanations about them not playing well "on the big stage", against teams from X country, on certain week days or so on...

Bruno with some hero shots and passes today, maybe with a bit more calmness Portugal would score...

I was mostly referring to to their dire football style. If they score one, they stop playing and it's a bore fest, even relying to parked bus tactics. They get scored against and they don't know what to do.

Bruno belongs to the Griezmann group of players. Great at a final pass and finishing a shot, but seems to be mediocre or worse at everything else. If they're not getting opportunities to slot in balls in the final third, then they're absolutely useless as they can't dribble or function as a normal midfielder.

A key difference is that Bruno seems to have a lot less finesse and a lot more mistakes in his game. Really unaesthetic player to watch.

It's a shame Pogba's a ballerina and basically impossible to rely on, because if he was reliable he should definitely be Utd's main attacking midfielder. Sucks he's a whinging idiot.

I know but they can do that when they have iron clad defence. Kimpembe is already not the best CB out there but put him as LB and it can become funny. They will need to play to score with such liabilities.

so far almost all the big teams at this Euros have had enjoyed 1 great game but slacked off in the others. Probably the closest to somewhat consistency we have is Italy who struggled vs Austria but still pulled through and also looked relatively chilled in group stage..
