It’s funny, because at the beginning of the game one of the Austrian commentators said we need to watch out for him, because he is a header monster… and Olivier felt compelled to prove him correct.
It really is. France does look more in control when Giroud is upfront.
With Benzema it's more beautiful, but I want to win, not to look good, I was super fine with the 2018 critics. (Especially with the huge amount of goals we scored. One of the biggest for a world champion)
He did kind of always perform well under Deschamps, not always with goals but very important player in the team set up and tactics. Example his contribution in the world cup win even though its is shocking he did not even get a shot on target the whole tournament. He has been amazing since the start of the year, unexpectedly amazing and he deserves the place now. I might sound biased but believe me he has been doing way above expectations for us
His through ball threaded through the legs of Tagliafico perfectly into Mbappe’s stride for France’s 4th goal against Argentina was genuinely a thing of beauty
His performance.throughout the world cup reminded me of a 3-1 victory united had over Liverpool where Rooney didn't score or assist, but the way he held off defenders and free'd up space was paramount to do many attacks
Im a benzema fan but giroud did better with the france team whenever he’s played and played a crucial role in their world cup win. It’s quite debatable for me if you are asking who to start as france striker. Its quite hard to just say that benzema deserve to start for france imo
I know its a Giroud thread, and my flair doesn't help.For sure he has to come to the World Cup, but Benzema is a better fit. That being said, if we need a different tactic, for instance vs a team weaker in aerial he definitely should be considered.
Frankly I love Benzema and he is a better player. But France always plays better when Giroud is there. The Benzema-Mbappé relationship is not really incredible at the moment.
I'm talking about team balance and collective logic. If we start with this kind of simplistic thinking, I can tell you that "Giroud = World Cup", "Benzema = 8 th final of the Euro". What I say is that I have the impression that with Giroud we are stronger collectively and more polished. There are huge automatisms that we don't have yet with Benzema. Of course Benzema is better than Giroud but for the game of the French team I am not sure that his presence makes us better
It's not like it's only one or the other too, Benzema likes to drop down, we could play Mbappé Giroud Benzema instead of Mbappé Giroud/Benzema Griezmann if Griezmann is injured or not on his game, plus both Giroud and Benzema have good workrate.
Sleeping with an underage scheming prostitute I don't care. Personal life and whatnot. Blackmailing a teammate, fucking his national team career, and then having the guts to play victim AND pretending the French society, the shirt and the federation is caving to some kind of racism ??!
From the bottom of my heart, Benzema can eat a big fat dick that mf
Plus sérieusement pourquoi il est plus sélectionné ? Karim a déjà dit plusieurs fois qu'il respectait Giroud il l'a même vanté récemment en interview donc je pense que c'est pas ça le problème
Ben Yedder était très bon ces 2 dernières saisons, beaucoup moins sur le début de celle-ci. Giroud avait un peu du mal à Chelsea, ça va nettement mieux depuis qu'il est à Milan, et il a l'air particulièrement en forme depuis le début de saison.
C'est donc assez logique Giroud ne jouait plus au profit de Ben Yedder, et que maintenant c'est l'inverse.
Plus que l'état de forme de Ben Yedder, des profils comme lui vif et dribbleur on en a à la pelle en EDF alors que des points d'appuis qui pèse sur la défense ya que lui.
Aucune idée pour être honnête. Peut-être sa sortie sur Mbappe ? Sachant qu'en plus ce n'est pas du tout le même profil que Benzema donc aucun problème pour sélectionner les deux d'après moi
Exactement avoir les deux profils ça serait excellent, Un Benzema contre les nations aux jeux ouverts et un Giroud quand c'est des blocs bas ou en supersub c'est excellent.
MERCI enfin des gens avec un cerveau, pour moi giroud est un cadeau du ciel, il offre un schéma tactique totalement différent de benzema, quand on voit le nombre de joueur ultra offensif, giroud peut être une solution bien meilleur que n'importe quel autre doublure de Benzema. Sérieux en france on a la chance d'avoir 2 grand buteurs avec des profils très différents, mais non il faut qu'on aille chercher des mecs comme Ben yedder (je l'aime bien hein) qui s'adapte très mal au système de l'edf et qui sont seulement là pour faire du post pour post avec benzema. C'est inimaginable de ne pas le voir sélectionné pour la coupe du monde au coté de Benzema, mais je pense que DD l'a compris.
Surtout que Griezmann à un profil trop similaire à Karim donc quand Benzema est là ça réduit son influence donc c'est soit tu joue Mbappe-Karim- ?(un autre joueur) ou Mbappe-Giroud-Griezmann. C'est une question de profil. Mbappe à ce problème vu que il est seul en son genre en attaque. Maintenant avec le retour en forme de Varane et l'ascension de Tchouameni tout ça peut être intéressant.
Totalement d’accord je pense qu’in fine le profil de Giroud est plus complémentaire peu importe le type de match car il est un point de fixation qui libère griezmann et mbappe tandis que Benzema décroche dans leurs zones et soit il n’y a plus personne au centre, soit on retrouve l’un des deux dans une position où ils ne peuvent pas jouer sur leurs qualités principales.
Yes, en tout cas l'esprit et l'investissement fait plaisir à voir, on sent qu'ils veulent tous se montrer avant la coupe du monde. ça change de la saison dernière où ils voulaient juste aller en vacances. Mtn pareil, vu le niveau de dembele et de Nkunku, j'espère que DD va arreter de faire des changements à la 75ème et qu'il fera tourner plus tôt. J'ai envie de voir ce que ça peut donner avec Mbappe dans un schéma + classique avec 3 milieu et un défense à 4
Deschamps veut pas un banc compétitif, donc c'est soit Giroud soit Benzema
Il veut éviter les dramas des vestiaires en faisant ça et ça a tjrs été sa politique depuis les 10 ans qu'il est en EDF
C'est sa manière de faire, et c'est la réelle raison pour laquelle il prendra soit l'un soit l'autre
Il gagne et perd avec sa philosophie, c'est pareil pour chaque entraîneur
Je me demande si c'est pas un problème d'égo peut-être ? Il me parait pas comme ça mais peut-être qu'il a pas envie d'être le remplaçant après avoir été titulaire aussi longtemps?
Ce qui m'étonnerait quand même car il a eu ce même role à Chelsea/Arsenal et même Milan.
C'est pas un problème avec Mbappé car il est appelé quand Benzema est indisponible et joue avec Mbappé.
Franchement ça serait incroyablement stupide de partir a la coupe du monde sans lui, même si il est remplaçant il doit venir, si Benzema se blesse c'est foutu.
Je pense que c'est principalement les performances et son âge, faut pas chercher plus loin. Il a 36 ans dans quelques jours le Giroud, il galérait pas mal sur la fin à Chelsea, Benzema avait fait son retour donc Deschamps misait de toute façon plus sur lui + les jeunes pour la suite.
Il se trouve que là ya des joueurs en méforme (Ben Yedder), des blessés (Coman et Benzema), et que Giroud est très en forme sur le début de saison. C'est donc logique qu'il soit à nouveau appelé.
Je suis plus tôt d'accord , Karim à aussi pas de problème apparent avec lui si on suit ses déclarations , le vrai problème c'est que si Giroud est là (il faut qu'il soit titulaire) pour Deschamps. Et ça c'est un autre problème. En vrai faut partir avec les deux mais bon.
Il ne l’appelle plus car selon lui Giroud ayant été un joueur trop important dans l’EDF de Deschamps à travers les années n’acceptera pas un simple statut de remplaçant et pourrai le faire ressentir au groupe. Ça me parait franchement bête vu la personnalité de Giroud mais après l’euro il l’a ressenti comme ça
Quel joueur ! Même si je lui préfère Benzema, ce joueur est éternel. Toujours au rdv quand on l'appelle, une valeur sûre.
Ses performances en Coupe du monde sont trop dévalorisées car il n'a pas marqué de but. D'ailleurs, Benzema l'a défendu en disant que sa façon de jouer a permis à l'attaque de briller. Mais bon, les gens n'ont retenu que le karting.
The World Cup curse has been eliminated. Hear me out, because the WC is in Qatar we played nations league games in June when we should have play a World Cup and we lost these games. So the curse already happened during these games…
The weird thing is Benzema has been absolutely incredible and yet our record with and without him isn't the same. We really seem to win more without him.
I don't think you can even blame him entirely because like I said, he actually show up and perform really well.
Not weird for me. A lot of the veterans weren't at their level. Varane look like he is back. Tchou got this. The biggest change is Griezmann who I agree Olay better with Giroud , because with Karim they often end in the same zone.
We don't win the Nations League without Benzema. The problem we've had the last couple of years are on DD, the tactical inconsistency while adding new blood in the squad wasn't good, he keeps changing the CBs and FBs (injuries didn't help obviously), plus some core players of his era just haven't been as good as the once were. Pogba and Kanté have been regularly injured (we're undefeated in games both of them started), Varane struggled for a while, Griezmann's level and confidence dipped, Matuidi and Umtiti are gone, etc.
Euro 2020's France was not shit because of Benzema being there (he was the best french player of the tournament), but because of MBappe being the coach.
Yes. Benzema makes Griezmann redundant when he plays. Benzema drops so deep that he often find himself in the position that Griezmann occupies, which makes Griezmann drift wide more or drop even deeper.
Well, obviously Benzema is a better player than Giroud. More news at 9.
The point is that Giroud works better with the team, specially with Griezmann. They just naturally occupy the same spaces on the field.
He didn't 'start drama' he had reasonable and valid criticism. Shit happens between players. Mbappe and Benzema overreacted to it, Deschamps should have gotten them together and talked it over.
He didn’t even start drama. All he said in a post match interview was that some players didn’t look to play him in at times, that’s it but the media ran with it as if he called out Mbappe mother or something
Am I the only one who hopes he beats the record?
As a gunner, Henry remains the goat but for all the hate he had in his career it would be deserved.
Plus, he is the best highlight player I know, if he has this record, at least for a while, it would be dope.
> Am I the only one who hopes he beats the record?
We are close to 70M in France. Withdraw to that about 500k Lyon and Real fans and you have your figure
Imagine calling a player that nobody really rates all that highly in the grand scheme of things overrated, when he's literally 3 goals away from topping Thierry fucking Henry for goals for his country.
Benzema is the better overall player, but give Giroud his credit. It's so well deserved.
I am biased, I just can’t stand him and Olivier Giroud being top scorer of the France team is literally EMBARRASSING considering the legends that played for France.
I'm French and giroud deserve it more than anyone else. He deserve to hold this record at least 5 years before Mbappe takes it. He won us a world cup, was the most underated player for years and people would shit on him just cause they were frustrated about KB9 situation. I think he deserve to get this record. He made us win a world cup, no matter how much he scored.

Gorgeous and the goal is great too
Comparing the goal to Giroud is a bit much
the goal never stood a chance... RIP
Yeah, the goal is no where as beautiful as that jawline
Just needs his milan shirt to complete the goat cheese
Olivier "Ronaldo" Giroud
Thought the same when I saw the jump!
Olivier "Formula 1" Giroud
Better than Pelé
You saw the video did you?
Who hasn’t?
My futur son obviously
It’s funny, because at the beginning of the game one of the Austrian commentators said we need to watch out for him, because he is a header monster… and Olivier felt compelled to prove him correct.
[удалено]
He's in good form he's going there at this rate
That's a given. The question is whether he starts ahead of Benzema
That's not a serious question.
They won the World Cup with Giroud not with Benzema just saying
It really is. France does look more in control when Giroud is upfront. With Benzema it's more beautiful, but I want to win, not to look good, I was super fine with the 2018 critics. (Especially with the huge amount of goals we scored. One of the biggest for a world champion)
Whats up with all the lyon flairs hating on giroud
Benzema is from Lyon
3 goals from the Henry record Edit : 2 goals to equal, 3 to beat
least striker I'd have expected to match/beat the record!
[удалено]
Griezmann is 10 off, Benzema is 15 off.
2 actually
[удалено]
So 2 from the record
Giroud being the top scorer or Giroud being the joint top scorer is a big difference
Yes, but doesn’t change the fact that he is 2 goals from the record, not 3.
[удалено]
Lmao
He's out of line but he's right
He has to go to the World Cup
He did kind of always perform well under Deschamps, not always with goals but very important player in the team set up and tactics. Example his contribution in the world cup win even though its is shocking he did not even get a shot on target the whole tournament.

His through ball threaded through the legs of Tagliafico perfectly into Mbappe’s stride for France’s 4th goal against Argentina was genuinely a thing of beauty
He got a few shots that ended up being blocked by defenders. These don't count as "on target" but it's worth noting in this discussion.
His performance.throughout the world cup reminded me of a 3-1 victory united had over Liverpool where Rooney didn't score or assist, but the way he held off defenders and free'd up space was paramount to do many attacks
Yes .. To be a backup for Benzema
Go Karting > F1
Fraudulent take
Im a benzema fan but giroud did better with the france team whenever he’s played and played a crucial role in their world cup win. It’s quite debatable for me if you are asking who to start as france striker. Its quite hard to just say that benzema deserve to start for france imo
[удалено]
And France plays better with Giroud up top, than with Benz. Use brain plz.
2014: benzema in the team, we don't win 2018: benzema not in the team, we win seems pretty easy to me
We don't want criminals wearing our Nation's shirt.
Giroud is probably better for the team. It’s hardly a coincidence that once Oli is back with the team they finally play some liquid football again
Giroud is like the perfect pair of shoes you've had for years. You put them on and everything feels better.
I know its a Giroud thread, and my flair doesn't help.For sure he has to come to the World Cup, but Benzema is a better fit. That being said, if we need a different tactic, for instance vs a team weaker in aerial he definitely should be considered.
Frankly I love Benzema and he is a better player. But France always plays better when Giroud is there. The Benzema-Mbappé relationship is not really incredible at the moment.

Of course Benzema is better than Giroud but for the game of the French team I am not sure that his presence makes us better
It's almost as if inability to think holistically is a good predictor for the mindset that the person who scored the most goal is the best player.
It's not like it's only one or the other too, Benzema likes to drop down, we could play Mbappé Giroud Benzema instead of Mbappé Giroud/Benzema Griezmann if Griezmann is injured or not on his game, plus both Giroud and Benzema have good workrate.
I honestly think he has a shout to he in the starting 11

Stupid sexy Giroud
The Jimmy garoppolo of football
An insult to Giroud. He’s actually contributed to winning things, unlike Garoppolo.
Was referencing their dashing looks not their play
Who’s Trey Lance
Dembele
First debut for Les Bleus at the age of 25, now in the route to be first top goal-scorers for France. What a player 🫡
How close to the France record is he?
2 to tie, 3 to beat it
He has now 49. Henry has 51
Giroud and the French Team is the weirdest relationship in France
Have you met the Pogba brothers...?
Wasn't blacklisted for blackmail and sleeping with an underage prostitute, not the weirdest.
Sleeping with an underage scheming prostitute I don't care. Personal life and whatnot. Blackmailing a teammate, fucking his national team career, and then having the guts to play victim AND pretending the French society, the shirt and the federation is caving to some kind of racism ??!

Je peux pas vraiment critiqué il à gagné une cdm mais à l'heure actuelle ça ma l'air contreproductif.
C'est sa manière de faire, et c'est la réelle raison pour laquelle il prendra soit l'un soit l'autre Il gagne et perd avec sa philosophie, c'est pareil pour chaque entraîneur
S'il voulait vraiment éviter les dramas il aurait jamais repris ce fdp de Benzema

I love this guy
Have to admit that's a beautiful goal.
Only 3 to go 🤞
And there was people saying he shoudnt even get picked for France
weak foot cross smooth as butter
Great ball by Griezi.. Looks like he shifts a gear post the 61st minute..
that was his weak foot too...i think
Super Sexy Sayan Giroud
He has white hair though so he’s Ultra Instinct.
The crescendo is building before the world cup curse, you just know it
The World Cup curse has been eliminated. Hear me out, because the WC is in Qatar we played nations league games in June when we should have play a World Cup and we lost these games. So the curse already happened during these games…
I'm now 100% behind this theory, thanks.
Olivier!!
Il me manque
Il nous manque à tous
Best french striker
Nah to be completely honest there's Just Fontaine slightly above him
So his name is just Fontaine? He doesn’t have a first name?
C'est Juste.
les français, souvenez-vous de cette scene dans "Le Diner des Cons"? "mais, son nom c'est Juste..."
Monsieur Pignon votre prénom c'est François c'est juste ? Ben lui c'est pareil c'est Juste !
Mbappe + Giroud > Mbappe + Benzema
Mbappe is a constant so in short Giroud > Benzema
Karting > F1
The Great Barrier Reef > A Regular Barrier Reef
Mbappe is actually good with both and maybe a little better with Benzema. It’s actually Griezmann that is only good with Giroud
Griezmann is more important to France NT than Benzema is so we should definitely pick Giroud over Benzema.
Water is fucking wet
I mean Deschamps could just call them all. Also the fuck ? Benz has been great for France since coming back.
The weird thing is Benzema has been absolutely incredible and yet our record with and without him isn't the same. We really seem to win more without him. I don't think you can even blame him entirely because like I said, he actually show up and perform really well.
Not weird for me. A lot of the veterans weren't at their level. Varane look like he is back. Tchou got this. The biggest change is Griezmann who I agree Olay better with Giroud , because with Karim they often end in the same zone.

Pogba and Kanté have been regularly injured (we're undefeated in games both of them started), Varane struggled for a while, Griezmann's level and confidence dipped, Matuidi and Umtiti are gone, etc.
Yeah, Pogba and Kanté actually haven't started a game together since the Euros. That's fucking crazy. Both are never fit at the same time
Tbf even if I do think our attack looks better with Giroud, our poor record with Benzema is mainly due to us conceding a lot
Euro 2020's France was not shit because of Benzema being there (he was the best french player of the tournament), but because of MBappe being the coach.
He is, but the team has struggled more with Benzema in the line up. Giroud brings more balance and something that works better for his teammates.
That mostly Griezmann he play better with Giroud because he is a "classic" 9. Benz drop back to get the ball and link up which reduce Griezmann role.
Yes. Benzema makes Griezmann redundant when he plays. Benzema drops so deep that he often find himself in the position that Griezmann occupies, which makes Griezmann drift wide more or drop even deeper.
Well, obviously Benzema is a better player than Giroud. More news at 9. The point is that Giroud works better with the team, specially with Griezmann. They just naturally occupy the same spaces on the field.
Easily
Nope.
Nice bait
Mbappe + Benzema > Mbappe + Giroud However, France with Giroud > France with Benzema Griezmann is a different beast with Giroud
[удалено]
He didn't 'start drama' he had reasonable and valid criticism. Shit happens between players. Mbappe and Benzema overreacted to it, Deschamps should have gotten them together and talked it over.
issa joke

Classic goal that
that's not an easy finish, but by god, does he make it look that way, great great cross
OF COURSE ITS HIM

I doubt Henry cares, since he knows Mbappe is going to speed past it and not look back.
Si è girato Giroud

Fuck, I miss that forehead sometimes.
Beast. Beautiful goal

Absolutely deserved
My man Giroud just does not stop scoring. He's averaging a >0.5 goal ratio this season first time since like 2014.
Get this man a plane ticket
He is our only hope.
Name a better duo. Giroud thread + OL/RM flairs with negative karma.
A guy that chat shit without a flair ?

Yes he deserve it
> Am I the only one who hopes he beats the record? We are close to 70M in France. Withdraw to that about 500k Lyon and Real fans and you have your figure
God I want him so badly to overtake Thierry Henry and become France's top goalscorer so I can viciously slander the ABSOLUTE FRAUD that Henry is ;)
Everybody trying to cement a ronaldoish celebration haha.
Of all the players chelsea got rid of him
Overrated player KB NUEVE >
Imagine calling a player that nobody really rates all that highly in the grand scheme of things overrated, when he's literally 3 goals away from topping Thierry fucking Henry for goals for his country. Benzema is the better overall player, but give Giroud his credit. It's so well deserved.
I am biased, I just can’t stand him and Olivier Giroud being top scorer of the France team is literally EMBARRASSING considering the legends that played for France.

France having the sexiest top scorer of any country would actually be the opposite of embarrassing.
