'France better without Benzema and Giroud should start' - Fans ahead of Argentina World Cup final

France is better without Benzema. - Emenike C Uchenna

I'm happy France proceeded to the finals... Benzema posted Ronaldo 9, Giroud proving himself... France is better without Karim. - Frankie Riley Mully

If Benzema accepts to play in the final, he is very cheaper. - Ketor Y. Felix

Featuring him in this final game will surely polarise the team. They have done so very well without him. Let them complete the job without him. - Callistus Cally Bunke Nwabuikwu

Let the players who started finish their job...🙁 Please stay out of it... don't bring your bad luck to that excellent team. - Frank O Poundz

Benzema is not allowed to play under Didier Deschamps. - Osomafo Kojo Chancellor

It's common knowledge that Deschamps hates KB. His injury was exacerbated to rule him out of the tournament. NTL he's the best player in the world at the moment. - Tim Tim

If he starts ahead of Giroud I hope they lose, Giroud has a good run and the attacking fluidity has been built around Giroud's logic these few matches, don't disrespect your man. - Solomon Kenneth Ona

He is part of the squad... Giroud is in good form he is going to start... if the need arises Deschamps will unleash Benzema. - Eddie Bangura

Benzema is still a part of the squad since he was registered by the French team. I think he should be allowed to come, but Giroud should start the final. - Joshua Ose Emionwele

People, when they talk about Benzema, it becomes boring because France won the previous World Cup with Giroud who is underrated as a top striker in the French team. Benzema is a good player but let's respect Giroud as the all-time top goal scorer of the French team. - Owen Budaza

Benzema should not use the World Cup final to check whether he is fit. - Kekeli Koblah Farcor

He's more mature so definitely, he won't be playing on Sunday✌ - Dimeji Abdul

Let him leave Benzema alone. The team has been doing good without him since the 2018 World Cup. He might come with bad luck. - Clinton Walter Nmagu

Let him come, sit on the bench, give the boys moral support and collect his gold medal 🏅🥇 - Obarieru Isaac Osiobe

Big Benzo will bring more hype to the already flying squad so they should let him be even if he comes as a sub for Giroud. - Mbongeni Dube

Benzema should be recalled, Messi fans will not want France to recall him. Benzema may be on the bench and come in later in the match. Likolo Olufemi

Deserves to be back in the squad. Leave him on the bench - you never know what would happen in the finals. - Vincent Brian

Will most definitely lose if they play him on Sunday. The balance of the team is much better without him. Argentina struggles against crosses which Giroud likes!!!! - Prince Limekaya

No... he has not contributed anything meaningful since he came back after his exile, let the guys, Giroud, and Griezmann complete the job for Les Bleus. - Benedict Nwabuzor

Olivier Giroud is doing absolutely fine even in the 2018 World Cup without scoring a single goal he played a vital role in helping France become champions. Benzema should stay at home and nurse his injury, the team is doing fine. - Luter Gerard

Just a tactic to confuse Argentina... It's not like he was awaiting medical clearance and stuff... The guy was declared fit from the day he arrived back at Madrid but was just being sidelined by his national team🤷🏾‍♂️ - Prince Cavin Snr

He would be in France's team if Zinedine Zidane was the Coach 😁 - Rifa Hamdani

He doesn’t want to go there and create any confusion for the team... They did it without him so they should finish without him...Karim is a professional footballer and his understanding of the game is unmatchable. - Sefa Edward

Hmnnnnn he knows they can not win the game. The trophy is for Argentina. - Adeleke Lukmon Adeniyi

France's team are not in one spirit. They will lose. Argentina and Messi time. - Adams Samuel
