Paul Pogba to star in French World Cup team
By Wyatt Miner
Paul Pogba will star in the French national team at the World Cup. Furthermore, France has a real chance to make a deep run in the tournament.
The Manchester United man plays a key role in the French team, just as he normally does with United. Criticism of the French star arises when speculating his social media use. However, Pogba is ready for the World Cup, as the French team can compete with anybody.
France’s first game is against Australia, and France is an easy favorite in that match up. France has players that play in every major league in Europe. Additionally, France has real firepower in their lineup. For example, France has Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe. On the other hand, Australia has very few stars, but they can certainly upset France. In the World Cup, anybody can beat anybody.
After Australia, France faces off against Peru. The Manchester United man, Paul Pogba, will play a critical role in France’s group stage efforts. When Pogba is in form, any team he plays for has a real chance to win. While the competition is not equal with France, no game is an easy win. Peru has very few, if any, known players. While this match may be easy for the French team, they certainly cannot overlook it.
France’s last group stage game is against Denmark. While Denmark lacks star power, they have Christian Eriksen. France and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba need to be aware of Eriksen’s capabilities. With Eriksen on the ball, great things can happen. Pogba needs to be aware of that and be able to shut him and the rest of Denmark down.
