Why is Giroud still playing second fiddle to Morata at Chelsea?

People sometimes laugh at him because of the lack of goals he produces. But in the national team he works very hard and is therefore very appreciated. France has the likes of Mbappé and Griezemann for the goalscoring but Giroud brings another kind of needed quality. He is good as target player, strong, good in the air, and works hard, even defensively. Maybe the thing with Chelsea is that they don't have that goal-machine to whom Giroud be a wingman to. The expectations on him are different due to the structure of the team.

There were so many famous and world-class forwards, strikers, and attacking-minded Dutch players in past decades. Now, they're reduced to Depay and..... Babel. /facepalm

OMG, People are really misunderstanding some things like racism.

Keep it simple guys, racism is related to hate speech, diedbarca doesn't write a hate comment, so why that negative votes?

Someone have argument or just simple go to down-vote this comment? It's frustrating.

He basically said that even though these players are born in France, they're not really French just because they're black. It was a racist comment.

They're born in France, and they're French citizens. For most of them French is their first language. They're French, the country their grandparents were born in doesn't change that. People only complain because France is the best team in the world right now - you don't see people complaining about the Australian team being full of people with Slavic and Greek names.

You don't get to determine their identity based on their skin colour - it's that simple. If you reduce a human being to his pigment, it's racist.

Jankuer partly agree. The problem is that few consider as sarcasm, the most people say its racism, I don't understand they.

Thefrenchman that is not the point. So, why people vote negative in diedhard comment and my comment?

Neurop what are u talking?. Diedhard and I didn't refer to skin color.

People say that about Switzerland all the time as well, because we have so many albanian players. But no one gets offended, it's just a joke...

It's literally used as a racist slogan by nationalists all over the country. Basically, if you're black, you're not really French. Everyone here is pretty sick of it and it's frustrating when people from other countries do it.

Yes mate! Frafrica or any of that type of shit is literally a racist slogan used by far right groups.

Pogba was amazing for Juventus before and was a key player for france wining the world cup. Also, he got MOTM for todays games in various websites. And yes, for ManU he is not the same, as many players to be honest. But hey, keep up the hate, he'll keep wining trophies ;)

Ok then: France dominated the 1st half, Kanté absolutely monstruous as usual, Griezmann much more active than vs Germany. Only a few misunderstandings in attack between M'Bappé and Griezmann prevented the score from being more than 1-0 at half time. Only 10 minutes of Dutch domination but no real danger. The 2nd half was more Dutch but the French defense was imperial as always, with Varane especially impressive. A first occasion and then a goal after the French failed to send the ball away properly. France reacted immediately and dominated the rest of the match without any other serious occasion. Good performance overall, but many players look tired compared to the WC.
