Paul Pogba Opens Up on France Painful Euro 2020 Exit
Man United talented midfielder Paul Pogba has posted an emotional message to his followers on social media, after France suffered a shock defeat to Switzerland at Euro 2020. At long last, Paul Pogba has opened Up on France Painful Euro 2020 Exit.
It was naturally a devastating experience for Paul who struck a “Pogboom” (an outside-the-box screamer) in the grueling match which saw France give away their 3-1 lead in split dying seconds.
The French were many people’s favorites to win the competition this summer and particularly after they topped the ‘Group of Death’, which also featured Germany, Portugal and Hungary.
Having been all about the collective ahead of the successful 2018 World Cup campaign, Les Bleus reverted to their bad old ways and paid the price
France’s Euro 2020 adventure was not meant to end with Kylian Mbappe’s modest penalty kick being pushed away by Switzerland goalkeeper Sommer.
Didier Deschamps’ team were on course to beat Switzerland in their last-16 tie after Pogba scored a world-class goal to earn a 3-1 lead. But then the Swiss miraculously fought back to restore parity at 3-3 and shocked the footballing world by earning an unlikely victory via a penalty shoot-out.

Pogba consolatory social media message following France shocking Euro 2020 exit
Using his official Instagram account on Tuesday night, following a period of reflection, Paul posted this message to fans:
“Sometimes football can be cruel… cruel and also beautiful.
“The game brought us sadness but happiness to our opponents. That’s the beauty of football. Of course we all wish that we could have had a positive result.
“Thank you so much to all of our fans across the globe. It was beautiful to see you, to hear you, and to celebrate with you. You gave us hope and joy throughout all of our games.
“We will keep our heads up and we will come back stronger. Finally, I want to wish congratulations to Switzerland.”
France coach Deschamps admitted that Pogba was left unimpressed by the actions of Rabiot, who criticized him for losing the ball in the lead up to Switzerland’s fateful third.
“He had to be calmed down a bit,” the coach said of the Manchester United midfielder, who was one of the few France players to come out of the tournament with genuine credit.
Jose Mourinho criticizes Paul Pogba goal celebration dance in France vs Switzerland

France were knocked out of the tournament on Monday after succumbing to a penalty shootout defeat against Switzerland at the National Arena in Bucharest.
Didier Deschamps‘ side seemed to be cruising to the quarter-finals after Pogba‘s spectacular 75th-minute strike — that he celebrated in equally eye-catching style — saw the current world champions take a 3-1 lead over the Swiss.
“France can only blame themselves”, the new AS Roma boss told talkSPORT.
“They started the game against Switzerland bad, they recovered in a fantastic way, showing the immense talent they had.
“But when I saw the way they (Pogba) celebrated the third goal, I didn’t like it. I had the feeling of, these guys are already celebrating on the Eiffel Tower, dancing here, dancing there.
“I don’t know what dance they did but they did a couple of different dances. 20 to go, the game is not over.”

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
