Who'd have thought, its better to have even a decent striker on the pitch instead of 3 wingers up front or in Germanys case a bunch of #10s

Way too many countries are overlooking actual strikers this tournament and they all look fucking toothless up top.
A problem in the whole of football. Where have all the strikers gone? No one is taking shots anymore.

I think everybody who wants to be a forward looks at all of their modern day idols and see that it's the creative, fast & technical guys who are coming in from the wide areas or playing off of the strikers getting all the credit

Football moved away from the lazy #9 poacher but it moved too far in the other direction now nobody wants to be the guy occupying CBs, running in behind & doing the dirty work.

Giroud does not make it look appealing I have to admit.

That's the problem. Kids will watch Giroud score 2 goals, bully the defenders & set up Mbappe 5 times. Mbappe will sky 2 shots then score a goal and the fans, media & everybody else will jerk off to Mbappe and in the same Breath ignore Giroud.


No wonder nobody wants to be a #9. Even CBs get more praise these days.
