Has the bloke looked like a 40m player to anybody this tournament? Never mind double that.

I have said it repeatedly during this tournament, but I really cannot see what the fuss is all about when I see pogba :? He is gangly and awkward looking, he seems unable to tackle properly at all, and certainly isn't a flair player. If moaninho wants to blow almost £100m on this guy then more fool him

I never thought that I would say it, but I actually felt sorry for the ladyboy when he went off injured :shock: :shock: :oops: :oops:

This is a fucking horrible, scrappy final between two totally average teams with no stand-out players. It's every reason why people prefer club football.

Shame as it started off being really entertaining but Ronaldo's injury and subsequent histrionics killed the game.

Giroud managed to be almost completely anonymous despite playing up front for a team which has been well on top and created plenty of chances. Same as previous games except he hasn't managed to score a free header or direct a header in the vicinity of a team-mate to score. We really haven't got a hope of winning the league with this useless carthorse up front on his own all season.

Agree - Portugal haven't offered much since Ronaldo's injury but Koscielny has dealt with everything he's been asked to with minimal fuss.

Kos turned very easy for that goal - I know the commentators are saying that he couldn't risk another yellow card, but the reality is he got turned too easy by a skinny kid :o

Vine player. Average most of the time but always has that few seconds of brilliance which makes people forget about the rest.

Giroud proving yet again why he is a complete waste of space.

Still those 2 goals v Iceland will see him leading the line for us again this season
