One of the best moments of his life, Paul Pogba hailed his crucial goal over Nigeria with the score of 2-0 in favor of the French. The 21-year-old midfielder said to FIFA.com,"I have no words to describe this feeling. The whole country is behind us and scoring the goal really liberated us. I am so happy for the team and all of France."

Pogba's header was released in the 79^th minute.

"To score a goal for your country, especially in such an important game as this, to get into the last eight of the World Cup, is one of the best moments of my life." Pogba added.

Deschamps admitted that he is very proud of his team but requires his team also to work harder as they are suffering the tension of being in the quarter finals.  "We're in the quarter-finals now and we will do everything we can to go one step further."
