Well, he's no Montolivo.

I kind of agree with acmilan, Juve would be fine without Pogba and with all that money, we can improve the team

Juve would be fine without anyone, we always find a way to improve and bounce back. should we sell half the team because of that?

 

[Hængebøffer]

I disagree with the first part, only because they ended up third doesn't mean they would have ended up third if the format had allowed for two teams to qualify. Also, only because they were lucky with the teams they faced doesn't mean they wouldn't have been able to beat better teams, they beat France after all, without Ronaldo. I agree they were lucky with the set up but it doesn't make them any less deserved imo. Winning any title at this level requires lots of determination and concentration, this was the case even with Greece so credit where it is due.

A lot of if's. It was clear by day that they didn't intend to end up as third.

 

[acmilan]

We weren't at our best, but a strong Juve midfield had a lot to do with that. Pogba was brilliant when he had the ball, always creating danger, and he was an absolute nuissanse when they didn't have it. As a Bayern fan, I can tell you we rarely saw a team that actually managed not to be dominated in midfield by us in the Pep era, Pogba was probably the main reason why we couldn't find our usual rhythm. His pressing was exhausting for our players. Lahm had a particularly hard time in dealing with him. That was a fantastic showing in my view.

None of this actually opposes what I said earlier - Bayern were particularly poor from a mental-prep standpoint as they played like a team who had overlooked Juve. And things got from bad to worse rather quickly for them. Juve took advantage, or almost, thanks to their organization as a team, not because they had Pogba in their ranks.
If you are wondering which comes first - Bayern was poor because of Pogba, or Pogba looked so good because of Bayern, look at previous history for reference. The game in question is an exception when it comes to how Pogba performs on the big stage, not the rule.

come on man, he cant control the game the way Pirlo does as a regista or defensively the way Mascherano does as a pure DM. the guy is crap and overrated

Obviously Deschamps lost this match with pussy tactics, plus he was using Pogba as deep lying midfielder you have Kante but you start Sissok

lol, Sissoko was fantastic, Matuidi is the one that shouldnt have started this one

Who could we buy that would be an improvement on Pogba? Or in other positions?

I didn't say they intended to finish third, I'm saying they would have played differently if the games' format had allowed only for two teams to qualify. They might have qualified, they might have not, but only because they finished third in this format doesn't mean they would have finished third in the previous format. Their mindset and approach could have been different.

And between the two of us you are the one with too many ifs. If the format was different, if they had faced better teams..

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Italy really should have won this tournament the best team by far, unfortunate with losing important players pre-tournament and during the tournament.

if Marchisio and Verratti were available, they had a very good chance of winning it. They played the best football (by far) IMO.

They sure did. Even with De Rossi and Candreva they would have had a great shot at winning it.

 

[Nzoric]

Are we still dicussing who deserved to win a football game? Portugal won the tournament without help from the officials, which really should mark the end of that dicussion. Well done Portugal for winning the final without the presence of one of the all time great goalscorers on the pitch. If that doesnt speak volumes of their organisation and team spirit then nothing does. It was a shitty game, but as a juve fan I like a game where teamwork and cohesiveness beats superior individual quality.

and even without them they had a shot. imagine if Pelle didnt choke the penalty like the EPL bitch that he is

with a full squad, Italy would have roflstomped everyone at this Euro

But you start Matuidi you mean, Sissoko was MOM.

the ref was awful and did screw the French..he booked Konscielny on a handball made by Eder(!!!).That was huge because Koncielny didnt tackle him before he shot and scored.
