Really?
You can't be serious.


Saying that after this tournament is so ridiculous.

Giroud is getting carried so hard it isn't even funny.


Watch him scoring the winning goal in the WC final now :D


I mean, at some point he has to score given the opportunities Mbappe and Griezmann create for him.

Overrated..big time....good player...not consistent....definitely NOT world class.

I'm not sure what games you guys were watching....and he was awful against France...trying to do everything himself...probably was trying to impress Real Madrid.

I don’t like Hazard and wouldn’t want him on any of my teams honestly. His skill is undeniable but I just think he dribbles too much, often when he has teammates open

Douglas Costa over him any day

Dude if Belgium was in the Finals he'd be the player of the tournament. Have you watched the games? I'm btw not a big fan of Hazard either but this tourney he was focussed and a bigtime player.

People Always tend to Judge based on statistics, but Hazard just isn't a player you can judge on numbers.
His playing style creates so much space for other players on the field. He often initiates an attacking move that leads to a goal without having the assist or goal.
West-Flemish for behinners:

    - Dust means thirsty.
