Pogba had a fantastic low profile WC. He scored key goals (even if one was deemed as an OG), made some key passes, but more importantly, he was fantastic in breakouts, which is what France relied on.
Tactically, he was key in France play.
But people expect him to score or assist in every game because he *can*.
When I read here Griez was more important, I laugh. Griez had one good game.
I don't like the KDB comparisons either because that only applies to offensive work, but Pogba was great defensively in every game. KDB was useless defensively.
I agree than Kante and Lloris had better WC, Varane arguably as well. But Pogba is right there with them.
Now Modric didn't dominate this WC IMO. Hardly. He was the oil in the engine of Croatia's team play, but was hardly dominant.
Still he was everywhere and is a worthy winner.
But Pogba doesn't pale in comparison. Nor Lloris, Kante and Varane. Nor Hazard BTW.
