Let's done deal that shit
This is absurd historical revisionism. You're presuming that if history were changed and only two teams from each group could qualify max, all matches and all strategies would play out exactly the same.
Fact is that nobody could beat Santos at his suffocating antics, and the strategy worked. Portugal finished as the team with the lowest opposing completed passes percentage into their defensive half for a reason. So tight at the back, opportunistic on goal is what won.
No, Portugal wasn't going to lose 7-0 to France because of their clear superior play anymore than Serbia could pull that off.
No, Portugal isn't a one-man team that relies entirely on Ronaldo.
And as a result, the Eiffel Tower now looks like the Staples Center after a Lakers championship loss...

I should take that back - Pogba obviously made a difference when it mattered ... for Portugal 
Pogba's performance in this tournament was below his standard (which btw says a lot about how high his level is) but that only puts him, and at the age of only 23, on the same position as the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, who despite being phenomenal for their clubs never showed up for their national teams. Doesn't make them any less of superstars.
Oh dear lord. 3 hours later I'm still laughing.
Pogba "not a difference maker".

Gary Payton with LA
Enduring years and years of mediocrity has made you sound and act so butthurt my friend Pogba's performance in this tournament was below his standard (which btw says a lot about how high his level is) but that only puts him, and at the age of only 23, on the same position as the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, who despite being phenomenal for their clubs never showed up for their national teams.

The long years of supporting Juve have made you lose track of the precipice between reallity and illusion when it comes to anything Juve related
When they won the Ballon d'Or and helped their clubs to CL glory as the "man in charge" of those teams, Messi was 22 yo and CR7 was 23. Pogba already is 23 ... and the best he can show for is coming short in big games, both at international and club level (and no, the sublime performances here and there vs Bologna, Fiorentina and the likes in Serie A don't count).
Not to worry, though - by the looks of it, that won't be your problem for much longer.
