Yes, even without Paul Pogba, France does not lack quality play in its squad. They will be competitors among other favorite countries.
But something is interesting here, we know that one of the curses that happened at the World Cup was that the reigning champions couldn't say more. That happened to Germany, for example, who had to be eliminated in the group stage. Will the curse happen again, or vice versa?  Grin
I disagree with you. France will not be able to perform very well if Paul Pogba is not found in that squad, Pogba has been a potential player in the French team, a key player in the midfield, and a major contributor to the team's expansion and current tactical form and performance. Yes, the French team doesn't lack quality players but no better player can replace the super star because he is one player in the team with a different playing attitude, especially in the national team. France team will still be major competitors in the world cup and I doubt if they will be affected by any course as the reigning champions.
There is no doubt Paul Pogba is a quality player but with this we all know his history if full of these injuries with this mostly coaches have enough backup or change in their planning for things like this and surely France coach is also having all these replacements and changes in mind which mean this is a common business for them with nothing is sure about his availability because most chances he will be not fully fit for this world cup and if he uses any shortcut then it's going to be bad for him as well because these tactics can create problems in long run for any player.

If Paul Pogba is not going to join France then surely they will be still a strong contender for this title because they have enough quality players, and they can go through into good way without this player as well.

Pogba at this point has two options. Either opt for a surgery, which will put him out of action for two to six months, or undergo therapy that will ensure his return by the end of September. He has made his choice, and will be avoiding the surgery. But I don't know how things will work out in the long run. Pogba has basically gone for a short term fix, for a long term issue. I just hope that the therapy is successful and his (meniscus) injury doesn't get any worse. He shouldn't destroy his career just because he is adamant on participating in Qatar 2022.
Agreed, surgery may take long term for him to recover but it may give a good impact for him rather than doing therapy. That's his choice and he may know what's the advantage when he was taking therapy. Im sure that if he already consulted with specialist about this. He knows what's better for him. I can only hope he will recover from his injury. It will be good to see him participated in the world cup in qatar. He was contributing a lot to the france's team

@Sithara007 I’m not a medical expert but I feel that he’s rushing himself back too soon because of the World Cup, and these kind of decisions have a very slim of success hence let’s pray that this decision works out for him.

@GiftedMAN I disagree about this while Pogba is a key player, but I feel that France can cope without him and the coach will only require to make a tactical switch to make that happen.

Yeah there is still a long time ahead for the World Cup to start. But it is a fact that France are likely to play without Pogba in the World Cup. Maybe he could join the tournament after some time as we don't even know when he will be able to return. He is one of the crucial players for his national team in the midfield. France would still stay strong as they are full of world star players of course. With or without Pogba I'm going to see them among the biggest contenders for the championship.
Not a very long time in my opinion, the world cup starts in November, a few months away from now. Pogba is going to be available for France in the world cup, he has a knee injury and he was to choose between surgery or therapy, surgery would have kept him out for longer and he will have missed the world cup, but Pogba chose therapy and that will only sideline him for a short time, though we will see how everything works out for him, he is an important player for club and country, the sooner he is available, the better for all of them.

I believe that Pogba made the right choice, as depending on the nature of the surgery, the duration of his absence from the football fields could vary from two to four months, and consequently he would not be able to play in the FIFA World Cup.
I just hope this decision was made in consent with the player, not that he was forced to accept it.
I'm also worried about the fact that he suffers some impact at the injury site and ends up being sidelined during the World Cup games, in addition to worsening his clinical situation... I hope that doesn't happen.

it all depends on the results of the therapy that Pogba will do. healing from therapy will not be as efficient as surgery. and Pogba took a risky decision I think when he forced himself to be not 100% ready to be on the pitch.
Even though he can play for the national team, I am worried that Pogba will get injured again in the middle of the world cup match. I have to say, France should probably be more prepared to play without Pogba.

I think it will be a little different because in this case Pogba decided not to undergo knee surgery and chose to rest while doing rehabilitation for his injury and that means the opportunity to play in the world cup is actually quite wide open for him but there are consequences he must suffer because of this will result in his vulnerability to injury in the future.

As many members already mentioning upcoming world cup, it's too early to predict about any team who is going to win because just few days back we have big setback for France with Paul Pogba is out of soccer for next two or three months it's big setback for France as he is very good and important player for them in this world cup, so we are heading for soccer season in Europe which can create too many issues for many teams with players are going to play in club games and can face any problem.

I think predictions are a natural thing, the matter of winning or losing the squad of the teams we predict is another story. no one really knows for sure which country will compete in the final match later, at this time we are only guessing by referring to statistical records and some news about it.

The problems that are being faced by France are not final yet, maybe Pogba can find an alternative to recover from the injury he suffered, as he stated in several sports news. Or maybe, if Pogba really can't play I think Didier Deschamps has prepared players for a replacement for Pogba. Even so, the news of Pogba's injury will be painful for French fans and I agree that Pogba's injury will probably have a big impact on Francis' performance later. 

so let's wait for the next news

France was not at the right level after the World Cup and they played very badly in the last European Championship and League of Nations.
No one disputes that the French team is one of the strongest in the world and the main favorite in Qatar, along with Brazil, but obviously they will have to solve some problems within the team in order to achieve good results again.
Pogba's withdrawal due to injury will be a handicap, but I believe that other players will be able to replace him.
Along with France and Brazil, I consider England, Spain and Argentina as the main favorites.
However, that does not mean that France will repeat its bad game as in the European Championship and the League of Nations. I think Didier Deschamps has thought about it he will correct any flaws that are a problem in the France squad and will work hard to overcome all obstacles including preparing players to replace Pogba after a serious injury incident.
We will find out later after France plays in the Qatar World Cup.
I agree that England is currently playing very well and of course England is one of the favorite teams after France, Brazil, Argentina and Germany.

All will be clear in coming weeks but still there is good chance for England as now their women team won a big event for first time maybe they also can do upset like this and won this world cup even it's all too early but all things possible right now.

Most countries in Europe are having similar weather conditions right now, temperatures around 40 degrees. If anything, Qatar will be a bit cooler than Europe right now when the World Cup starts.

I don't think the weather will play a huge role in this World Cup, specially for the European countries.

It will probably be a pleasant and nice weather throughout the entire competition, maybe around 20s and 30s.

Europe is suffering from a heat wave, and that is why some of the cities there have temperature close to 40 degrees. That doesn't mean that Europeans are comfortable with that sort of weather. And from what I have seen from the previous editions of the world cup, European teams doesn't perform as per the expectations when the tournament is held outside the European continent. 2014 is an exception though. The tournament was held in South Africa, and still Germany managed to defeat Argentina in the final.

They will mostly face this issue of high temperature/ hot weather conditions within their few weeks (1week-2weekd) of their exposure/presence to high temperature in Quata, So I do think that adaptation/acclimatization to that environment will start to take place, take for instance people who comes from extremely hot weather environment to play football in Europe ,what happened when they gets to cold weather environment, you will realize that at a particular they got adapted.
  Too I think some measures will be in place , maybe FIFA would likely allow up to 5 or more substitution to take place and equally have a brief period where players will have theirselves cooled down a bit.

Although we are predicting a lots of thing before hand but you cannot predict what is going to happen when the people from cold country are going to land in a very hot and sandy country. There will so much health issues I am already seeing this. But hope the medical teams are all on board to cater all this.
Let's wait and watch how the team performs.
Even many things manageable but still they need to do some hard work for this all because it's never been easy job for anyone to change things very quickly, and they all are doing just few days before start of this event which is also not suitable they need to be in Qatar around 20 to 25 days before start of event because with this they will have some good time for adjustment and also understanding of other changes could be positive.

As we have not good history of Europeans when they are vising Asian countries, most face health issues due to weather and few other things are also created issues for them as well as. Right now, predictions are not easy because we mostly have no idea bout ground realities.

Even if it is hot, it is going to be the same for everybody. So I think all the players should accept that fact and play as well as they can. The weather is going to be the same for everyone. So there is no point in complaining. The only thing that can be done is to play as well as possible.

I also agree that the Qatar government is determined to try to do everything to make sure that the environment is better for the players. Because the heat is too much we might see one or two players actually faint on the field. And that is something no hosting nation wants to see when they are hosting a big tournament like the World Cup.

This will be a very difficult job because what they are fighting against is the weather and minimizing things like this is definitely not an easy thing.
But when they are ready with that then maybe they already have a plan to make some things that can be done to make this a little cooler and can continue without any major problems in the middle of the field later.

Surely a big worry for Western countries if temperature is going to 42 degree Celsius then surely they are going to suffer and have side effects of this as well because Qatar is almost desert, and they are not having any better environment for these Western players those are mostly playing into cool weathers. This is going to be beneficial for South American countries as their players are well-prepared for this all, and they can't suffer like European players and this advantage can give them their first success after two decades, and they can win this year's event.

Qatar's authorities and FIFA officials are already working on few things which can used for first time because it's first world cup into the Middle East, so they want to do their best for having their desired results but still it's not easy to play and giving best results in these conditions.

As I am reading few updates about these things we will have some good and favorable rules for this event because FIFA officials also understanding how things are going to be held here, and many teams can suffer badly which could be not fair enough for them so going with five changes rule is good for all and as Qatar officials are working on few more things hopefully we will have better conditions for all teams but still it's not easy for European teams to play in this environment because these teams have no experience for playing in these conditions and their weather conditions are also completely different from Europe.

Teams from Africa, Asia and South America are going to be better and having less problems but still not easy to play with 42 degree temperature and deserts condition which is mostly hot and have no replacement of this all.
