Fun thing is even if Pogba took some contact, he still managed to have some decent control of the ball. He is quite a freak.

Lol, what did Benzema say to Cabaye? Did he tell Cabaye to stop helping the Honduras player up because he already received the yellow? :lol:

Man that was a pretty weak penalty. Awful reffing continues.

Griezmann's probably better at taking them but he's pretty good at winning headers. Guess they're just hoping Valbuena gets his **** together.

Turns out this is the weakest group.

I'm guessing playing a 4-3-3 with a Matic-Oscar-Cesc trio

Honduras living up to their status as having the highest murders per capita

About to be the same career trajectory, joining a stacked team to stand around and put the ball where he's supposed to.

Of course not but still giving a penalty for this kind of contact? Especially, when Pogba mid-air decided "I'm gonna flop now". That's not a penalty, sorry. :nonono:

How are you dealing with Cesc's arrival btw?

Wish we got someone else but can't argue with 27M Basically I keep telling myself we are getting Player X for Y% of David Luiz sale as if Luiz money is funding everything.

What's going to happen though? Are they going to a 4-3-3? Is he replacing Oscar in the 4-2-3-1? Playing behind him?

, but I'm guessing he'll play in both positions depending on the opposition. Mourinho did hint in his latest interview that he sees Fabregas as an option in central midfield though. Maybe he and Oscar will keep switching throughout the game as Oscar already drops deep often anyway.

Sweet justice Pogba got that twat sent off after he studded him twice.

If anybody is watching the BBC coverage, Thierry Henry is putting a punditry masterclass by winding up Robbie Savage :lol:

Henry trolling, saying Pogba kicking out wasn't a red
