OLIVIER GIROUD MOVES TO BE THE THIRD TOP GOAL SCORER FOR FRANCE..

The honest truth here is that the French striker Olivier Giroud , who was well known for the goals scored for Arsenal under Arsene wenger, and I France he was remembered for winning the French title with Montpelier in 2012. He has been a flop at Chelsea and failed to core a goal at the world cup 2018 in Russia But leaving all this for France he has done very well as in the friendly match with Iceland, he scored the second goal., with France winning with a score of 4-0. But that goal was goal number 35, has now taken Olivier Giroud to the third top goal scorer for France, he has now over taken David Trezeguet. So only Thierry Henry and Michael Platini are ahead of him. 1) Thierry Henry. 51 Goals . 2) Michael Platini.41. Goals. 3) Olivier Giroud. 35. Goals.

BAYERN MUICH THRASH THE OLD LADY OF TURIN.

In the champions A group Juventus entered the match verses bayer Munich knowing very well that they had to win , and Juventus only needed a draw to reach the last 16.
Juventus scored the first goal in the 19th minute by David Trezeguet, the Munich goalkeeper Butt scored in the 30 th minute to equalize, Olic then made it two in the 52 minute, and then their striker Mario Gomez scored the third in the 83rd minute.But by this time Juventus had run out of ideas and were chasing shadows. Perhaps age has caught up with the old lady, as Buffon De Piero and some others are on the wrong side of thirty years.But there was still time for one more goal to be scored and Anatolly Tymoshchuk scored the fourth goal at the injury time it came on the 92 minute.

ROBERT PIRES PLEADS FOR ARSENEWENGER TO BE COACH. A

Robert Pires the former Arsenal and now Villareal player, and also French internatinol player. Who has played for several years at Arsenal and knows Arsene Wenger well. He has now come in the open and strongly spoken to the French F.A. To make Wenger as head coach of France as they have fallen down in ranking and there is plenty of problems both on and off the field.
David Trezeguet has refused to play under the present coach under any condition. For him to play France must have a new coach he says
So Robert Pires has pleaded for France to even if necesary to buy out Arsene Wengers contract at Arsenal and pay a higher fee .
But I strongly feel he will not do it . Because Arsene Wenger always honours his contract, no matter which club is involved. He even refused the English coach job when Sven Goran Erricson was sacked. He said He had to honour his contract.
