Big call.
Day 3: Argentina vs Saudi Arabia | Denmark vs Tunisia | Mexico vs Poland | France vs Australia

This front trio looks unstoppable at the moment. It is Australia, no offense meant.
Giroud got better as he aged IMO. Seems more reliable than at Arsenal.
Giroud the legend. What a career he had 
Yes, I think Deschamps actually missed a trick early. Mbappe likes to get very central and he really doesn't support the left flank. So a wingback was always needed, not a more defensive left back like Lucas Hernandez. This is supported by Pavard ( he looks pretty good technically) being very defensive on the right and Dembele being able to take up all the running on the right. The good thing is Coman is pretty similar too and Kounde can do a similar job to Pavard on the right.
Not sure why Chelsea sold Giroud.
France’s PL-free forward line is still scary despite missing Nkunku and Benzema…
I always wanted Giroud at Utd, he's a class act
His full sprint reminds me so much of pre-injury Ronaldo Nazario.
Aussies have got the physicality but not much else.
Rabiot has done feck all outside of his 2 contributions.
Agree
Mbappe is too good, also seems to love the WC stage.
Mbappe 1v1 there is no defender who can live with him.
Mbappé will likely beat it but yeah. Giroud is guaranteed to be remembered.
Has Danny Murphy found the beer? He's blabbering and slurring everywhere.
Guys in the other thread saying they don’t want Mbappe must be cringing..
The Aussies provoked the beast and now they shall pay the price. I can see this getting a lot worse for them before the end.
Embarrassment of riches. And they still have the likes of Coman on the bench
Mbappe is ridiculously good but we all knew that already.
If he plays long enough, he should smash it. I've always the record number of goals for France was too low
Disgusting how much talent they produce.
The opposite. Can’t function without booze.
tbh, noone questions his talent. its the antics that put most people off.
Looks a pen to me.
He is. Chelsea are biting themselves for ending up without a viable CF at this moment.
The Mexican fans were the best in Russia too.
Mbappe is different class . He’s taking the piss there tonight. Would love him at OT.
He’s like one of the best players in the world, you take him no matter what.
I think Lucas is very good, but he wasn't having a good game here when going forward.
Theo added so much offensively since he came in, it will be hard for Lucas to win his spot back, even though it seems like he will miss the rest of the tournament due to the injury anyways.
If Giroud is catching you from behind, you are slower than slow
How slow is your stream?
Great team player. But didn't think Arsenal's style suited him, after all didn't he go months without scoring. There was one CL game where he cost them the tie.
I always believe Giroud is a better player for Mbappe and Griezmann than Benzema in a front 3.
Why did Chelsea even let him go? IIRC, he was a reliable goal-scorer for them.
it is the tactic in Arsenal didn't work well with a targetman, and Giroud is a great great target man.Great team player. But didn't think Arsenal's style suited him, after all didn't he go months without scoring. There was one CL game where he cost them the tie.
Irvine should have been red carded easily considering the number of fouls he's made
Especially since they had this better version of Giroud. In fact he improved with them if I'm not mistaken.
@duffer Am I imagining Giroud's improvement being around the time he was at Chelsea?
May as well go even further and ask why Arsenal got rid of him
Apparently one of the most two footed players of the 21st century Dembele “needs to use his right more”. Murphy is a clown.
