    Giroud is just not good enough. Saw that all the time at Arsenal. Misses more open shots than anyone.

    It’s what he does off the ball that is the main part of his game. And he has still got an eye for a killer pass, a decent header and works his bollocks off.

    Bit like Sterling without the killer pass and header bit...

    Nah drop him and put Rashford on. He scored that goal against Costa Rica so he must be better.

    Neither team seems able to get the job done thus far. England might have a chance.

    Saw him quite a few times at Arsenal too ( wash my mouth out with soap ) and the bloke is still hungry even when he was resigned to coming on as a sub late in his career.

    But then Rooney's our top scorer, so you know, doesn't necessarily mean anything in itself.

    Griezmann pretty average that half I thought.

    Pavard should have pumped it back to Griezmann for an easy finish.

    Open game and only going to get more open. Can see this going to extra time.

    Going from the first half, I think I'd prefer France in the final if we make it...

    Belgium more dangerous going forward
    France the more complete side

    Not sure who I’d want

    Zidane was a midfielder. Giroud is a forward.

    Be weird if we end up playing Belgium twice in the same World Cup with neither game really mattering.

    Other than Kane and Lukaku wanting the Golden Boot!

    So is Benzema who's on less than that handsome devil Giroud, and yet I imagine most would opt for the former if given a choice.
