    Benzema Balon d'Or winner winning the world cup 🏆👏👏👏

  3. Starpool

    No. Stop the nonsense

  4. Jack

    It's not a bad option to have on the bench, Giroud has earned his spot though, as a starter in the final.

  5. Kevin Nyungura

    On the sidelines killin some deadly drip?!

  6. Vijay

    Joke of year, what ever, no news to hype the channel.😂🤣😅🤣

    One thing I know about Benzema, if he plays France wins! Forget about not having played a single game in the WC. He is Benzema! It wouldn't be disrespectful to Giroud, it would be the one factor that earns them a victory against Argentina.

  8. Martin Kabinga

    Would live to see Karim playing the finals. People are eager to see him play. What a fantastic player, Karim has demonstrated that hard work and perseverance is important

  9. Miguel Rosado

    The 39 year old??? Benzema is 34 guys.

  10. Florian

    What sort of silly title is this? Even Benzema wouldn't want to just be thrown into a final when he just came off an injury. France's all time scorer is in the race for the golden boot and scored when it mattered most.

  11. DAYOUTUBEGAME

    yes just to watch the match lol

    benzema ain't 39 mate change youre description

    The reality is that Benzema and other Muslim players don't feel like belonging to the team. They took him away and he gladly removed himself from the team because he doesn't share the same value as other France's players. The context of France is very particular. So yeah; I wish Benzema fit in perfectly in that team but the reality is that Griezmann and Giroud don't like him and knowing the ex- captain and world champion Deschamps; he wants to keep team's morale high and knows that France can win without Benzema. It's sad to not play with the "best" player of the team and of the world but it's also questionable when the whole squad relies on one player( Neymar or Messi). Portugal's team chose something in between where the coach chose to keep Ronaldo but on the bench.

    NO NEED THIS WC IS FIX FOR MESSI

  15. Abdur Rahman

    Kante is also fit to play.

  16. Loui Anderson

    Come on Benzema! Make your entrance in the stage

  17. Seljuk Ali

    France did not include Benzema in place in Giroud in the 2018 World Cup even though Giroud performed pathetically in that tournament. Now if Giroud is performing well, they are thinking of replacing him with Benzema? No. Benzema is far better than any of the french players but his inclusion suddenly in the Final is a huge risk to bear. However, he can play the second half but that's not possible because Deschamps (Racist) hates Benzema.

  18. Hrishikesh Ricky

    So Benzema will never win a World Cup – that’s depressing for him.

  19. Hugo Bose

    The French move !!
