    ...except finishing (which I suppose would qualify more as a big thing).

    I know what Giraud is lauded for, being the back-to-goal, distributing type of forward. But he gets an amazing amount of chances in front of goal and he does not finish them. I'm amazed a ball didn't even just bounce off of him and go in during the entire tournament.

    It has to be more than the little things. Movement, creating space, distribution are things he does well. As a forward, you have to finish, too...and he just sucks at that.

    But him not showing himself to be a good finisher in the tournament isn't a big deal to France and others because their team is so complete that they can get goals from other sources other than Giroud and be alright.
    It's the little things plus him being willing to track back and defend as a forward. Add that to Deschamps playing with a forward (Guivarch) similar to Giroud in that respect and it makes total sense though.

    All those young chicks can go kick rocks. Kolinda looks like she has that beautiful older lady savvy that she can teach me a few things. :D

    The one on the right in the bikini isn't her. It's a fake picture. That's the wife of the rapper/actor ICE-T and her false assets.
    There are other (natural) bikini pictures on the internet of Kolinda.

    Stupid internet, trying again (if you can't trust KOKO TV, "Nigeria's and Africa's Leading Digital Fashion, Style and Entertainment Platform" then who can you trust?)

    Damn she's bad.



    Also to be fair to Nigeria, that pic of Coco-ICE-T's wife was on other legit big name outlets like Daily Mail. Lots of outlets got fooled...or didn't bother doing research lol.

    Damn - you won because of the earlier rounds. I came in second because I had France as the winner. Well done.
