Not because of seniority.
I'm glad they gave it to him, although I think the epilogue of the penalty shoot out was the main difference maker between him and Lopez. I'm glad he won it mostly because he wasn't really flashy, didn't play in the offense too often and didn't really catch the eye. But tactically he was immense. Especially tonight, when France were short of defenders, his contribution was vital. He held the entire midfield, and helped so much in defense. It's good that those who gave him the golden ball didn't only look for goals and dribbles, and they paid attention to the way Pogba commanded his team's play.
P.S: I don't expect too much from these French players in the future. Not enough talent in there. Mostly giant athletes (I believe that 5 of the 11 starters were taller than 190cm
) who used their physicality to cover for the technical part of the game. It worked against other kids, but it won't work against the seniors.
Still, apart from Pogba, there were a couple of players who have a bright perspective. The white kid who scored the brace in the semis is fantastic. The RB is very good too, as is the DM who took a penalty. Sanogo reminds me of Adebayor. I don't think he'll make it. The midfielder who plays in Sevilla isn't really good. The others were meh. Except the goalkeeper. He had a fantastic tournament.

Im sure both Marchisio and Pogba will get alot of playing time, the season is long. But let's say we play Real Madrid in a CL semifinal, Who would start in the CM positions?
I think the one who proves most on the pitch will start, but this year im sure Pogba could shine and get a starting positions in a important CL match, still as I say im sure both Marchisio and Pogba will get alot of playing time.
Pirlo isen't so young either, I hope he has 2 good years left, but Pogba could take that position later, he played it for France during u-20 worldcup, and yeah got the best player award so

Pogba to be a starter. Marchisio super sub. No other way next year.
I'm extremely happy we managed to sign him last year. Never thought he'll develop this fast. Talent was there but there are always other things that can prevent one to reach predicted heights. With this rate he'll become one of the best mids in Europe very soon. With right approach of course and I believe Conte was a key man for his ascension last season.
