Pogba's a very good player but I can't help feel he gets more focus and is rated higher due to the hype surrounding him.  The way he dresses, the hairstyles all go towards raising his profile and his status.

This is certainly true. His highs are very high and he has a great highlight reel. Perfect for the modern, short attention span, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram era.

Very, very good player obviously but by all accounts not even the best at Juve.

Will just go ahead and post this in here...

Does anyone have a 2011/12 NUFC home kit they would be willing to offload? Size L or XL. eBay is not rife with them.

but should be alright long term if it's a clean break?

What I was thinking. Rehab will take a while, but in the modern game it seems most players make it back from those clean snap injuries.

The parallel is always made with Djibril Cisse and whilst his shins seemed like they were made of glass, his recovery time on both occasions was very impressive.

Oh man, such an unfortunate series of events between the way he landed and the timing of the other guy hitting him.

Hope he'll be okay.

I'm liking the stripey socks too.

Lovely photo that, HTT.

I love when there's a series of nice kits and then a Puma one just to stink it all up

Combo breakers.

It's just the whole problem of modern football. No one ever taking responsibility or accountability. It's all about deflecting the blame.

This goes for attitudes on the pitch as well as beyond.

Turns out I'm going to Paris with work for a few days but flying out on Sunday. Chances of getting a ticket outside the stadium? Probably close to none... fanzone could be fun.

Hahaha, the guy who did the clappy thing wrong.

Terrible output from Germany tonight, really.

Play with no strikes, can't expect much more.

Absolute wank from Ner-ner.

He was just terrified of Giroud in behind. So desperate for him not to get the ball that he lost awareness.

Schweinsteiger will deserve a good slap from everyone if things stays like this. They were bossing it.

Germany keep playing a wide game looking to cross but they aren't really dangerous from there.

He deliberately leads in with his arms though. From then on he can only blame himself if what happened, happens.

Definite pen that.

Did a miracle just happen though, and the additional ref gave it?

Weird game, this.

Socks are horizontal stripes then. Stripes all over this thing. Cool.

"Wasn't a team player" is also one of the most tedious clichés when it comes to Ben Arfa.

Very cool...

Was before my time so maybe it's because I have no attachment to it but always thought that twisted Nufc badge was an awful design.

Pahaha... That laugh though.

Evra a complete liability all tournament.

Matuidi is hilarious. The way he goes about, looks like he's 85.

Well, I'd rather be seeing this than England getting hammered by France.
