As a France fan, I hope that's the formation they go with from the start next time. Going back to Ecuador, Giroud added nothing (except elbows that should have gotten him carded) for two contests.

Also, what a beautiful and restrained performance from Pogba who is only 21 and will be one of the best midfielders in the world when he figures it all out.

Allez les Bleus!
