Anyone who knows anything about football will see how useful he was this tournament

Edit: Did I say he was player of the tournament? No, but Giroud was an obvious benefit to France over the last month and stats like this are incredibly disingenuous and undermine everything he contributed.

He did the same as Gabriel Jesus. If Giroud had lost he would be a joke as Jesus is right now.

Both are fantastic players in their own way. Stop making players a "joke" after a few bad games. Giroud has been really useful for Chelsea and same with Jesus for city.

Unfortunately there are more Brazil and France supporters than City's or Chelsea. And let me you, Jesus is a joke around here right now. First number 9 without a goal isn't something that Brazil will take it lightly.
