Can Pogba build on his quarterfinal display?

At the centre of a transfer saga involving some of Europe’s top clubs, his next destination will be the least of Pogba’s worries when he takes to the field against the Germans tonight. Pogba might be the subject of world record transfer bids, but he certainly has not yet hit top gear yet.

A commanding performance against Iceland will have done a world of good for the French starlet, who looked devoid of confidence and his usual swagger, as the burden of the hopes of an entire nation resting on his tender shoulders seemed to be too much for him.

Having scored a goal and put in a solid display throughout the match, Pogba will look to build on that performance tonight. With the nation’s gaze shifting towards Griezmann and Dimitri Payet, Pogba is no longer the subject of the limelight alone, which will surely help him tonight.

French fans will be hoping he can keep the dangerous German midfield quiet, and chip in with a few attacks to help his team’s cause.
