Facts
Giroud definitely deserves his flowers after everything he’s won
Prime VVD did day Giroud is the most difficult player his played against 😉. Tells ypu all u need to know about this man
I've never understood why people don't rate him ,
Just because his good look, nobody is taking him seriously LOL but the guy is on par with Benzema or Henry. Most underrated of all time.
All the underrated strikers are guys like Bati Gol or Samuel Eto'o who rarely get mentioned, Olivier Giroud is a good player, he gets goals for the national side obviously, but c'mon he wasn't that great at Arsenal, and that was his so called prime, Very good player, but there are great players that don't get mentioned, I could go on for days from Hugo Sanchez to David Villa, there are so many I could go on for days, actual world class players, like Champions league level greats lmaoooo
Mbappe, Griezmann, Giroud 🔥 Trio
Yes he’s way better that Ronaldo for sure. No complaining no crying and doing his best for the team. Won few league titles, champions league, World Cup.
He's so underrated he won a world cup without a shot on target.
How long does he need to be called underrated before we start acknowledging he IS rated?
Ibrahimovic vs Giroud?
If Giroud was Swedish ، they will call him the greatest Swedish player of all time.
He won more champions league than Ibrahimovic
More world cups than Ibrahimovic
Has scored 0.6 goal per game in France compared to Ibrahimovic 0.5 in Sweden
Has also scored some beautiful goals
And Has not clamied to be God.
For me I rather have Giroud.
If Giroud is under ratad then surely that makes Ibra way over rated.
I rate peak Giroud 9/10
And peak Ibrahimovic 9.2/10
But at lowest i rate Giroud 5/10
And ibra 3/10
He’s very much underrated. Though he has been inconsistent at times. He is definitely one of the top French strikers ever
King Giroud after leaving cesspool arsenal: 1 UCL, 1 League, 1 World Cup 😎😎
Cesspool: 0 UCL, 0 League, 0 CWC 🤡🤡💩💩💩💩
Giroud has always been my favorite guy. As a Gunner fan, he was over looked and under used. If they ever had a person that could cross the ball, he is a elite header of the ball. Super passer and holds up the ball well too.
Chelsea too, under used. As far as 2018 World Cup, go back and watch the games, his hold up play enabled France to win. I love watching him and Leao at Milan.
Half the world is qualifying for the next world cup. If you can't qualify, you are just rubbish in football
He’ll score the winner👍
Olivier Giroud will score the winning goal for France in the final and take Milan pass spurs in the round of 16 of the champions league.
This is the best episode so far to see Dan embarrassed was a joy to watch.
personally I think hes France mvp
In my 20+ years of supporting Arsenal, he was the most underrated player in my memory.
When Dan's with Stevie & Craig, these fellas are SAVAGE & HILARIOUS 🔥🔥🔥
I think he's fairly rated. He can't dribble, he's slow, and he's not that creative. He has a good touch on the ball usually, so he'll score his goals. He's a good national team player because he works hard and has reasonable quality. But he's no Just Fontaine, no Platini, no Jean Pierre Papin, no Zidane, no Henry, no Ribery, no Mbappe (etc., etc.). He's someone who should be remembered when we consider 2018 and 2022 World Cups, but not when we consider all time great French players.
