France can do it against Nigeria in the round of 16

Midfielder Paul Pogba says France are still confident of being a force in the knockout stages despite being held to a draw by Ecuador in their final group match.

The South Americans held on for 0-0 despite having Antonio Valencia sent off.

Juventus star Pogba said: "We played well and put in the performance that was expected of us, but we didn't get the result we deserved. All we lacked was a bit of a break in front of goal, that's all.

"I don't think this match will have any kind of negative effect on our confidence. We drew, we didn't lose. That's an important distinction. We can be satisfied with how we did overall and with our qualification for the knockout stages."
