So a striker wins the tournament for the team that played without a
natural striker. It was almost Gignac, then it was Eder -- two
completely irrelevant strikers. Portugal succeeded cos Santos dared to
undo his entire lineup. France failed cos... France didn't fail. Their
fault was they played like favourites and let Portugal capitalise. Bad
France turned up, so move on. We knew Griezmann and Payet can disappear.
We knew Giroud isn't great. Pogba's performance falls on Deschamps --
if you want Pogba to sit deep, you'll get a very good Sissoko; if you
use Kante instead, you'll get a world-class Pogba. Eat your words, those
who'd written Ronaldo's obituary. Ronaldo is now officially more
decorated than Messi and Eusebio.
