God knows how Pogba got that award. A jammy goal from a second attempt and annonymous for most of the game/tournament.
Huh? Was one of the players of the tournament, and stepped up in the final when guys like Kante did not.
It has been widely reported that Kante was sick during the final

The French midfielder came out in the 55th minute of play after an average performance. He suffered from gastroenteritis.
His worst shot Sunday, in the final after a tournament of very high level, surprised more than one. N'Golo Kanté was actually sick in the historic final of the football World Cup between France and Croatia .
According to our information, the metronome of the French game was suffering from gastroenteritis. This probably explains much of the decision of Didier Deschamps to release it in the 55th minute of play. A surprising choice a priori, but which finally paid off in view of the very solid entry into play of Steven Nzonzi.
Until then, the shy midfielder of the Blues had not had his usual performance, also because of a constant Croatian dry cleaning. Quickly warned, he was even surprised in the wake of the hook of Perisic at the time of the equalizer .
