Playing like he did for the Arsenal, almost.

He was superb everywhere aside from two chances he should have done better with. His defensive work was outstanding at times. Well done OG.
Okay, maybe I overreacted. Still it wasn't just two times, it was at least four.Quote:

No, I grew to accept those two things. It's the fact that - apparently - he has more nerve cells than any footballer EVER. The slightest contact and you get the screaming, the writhing around, the look of shear agony that makes you think that death must be near for the poor, mortally wounded mirror*nt. All the while knowing in the back of your mind that in about 2 minutes he'll be back up running around.
He did it again last night and I had to leave the room as he was screaming. :furious:
...and he's going to be playing in a World Cup final.Quote:

People always judged Giroud on what he couldnt do. Yes, he wasnt as good as the strikers that came before him but that is hardly his fault.Quote:
