Socceroo Jason Cummings has hilariously shared the second he was brutally snubbed by two French superstars – together with one who pretended he couldn’t communicate English.
Cummings mentioned he first tried to swap his jersey with famous person Kylian Mbappe after Australia’s 4-1 loss of their World Cup opener final month.
And when that plan fell via, the 27-year-old mentioned he then turned to Mbappe’s teammate Olivier Giroud – with disastrous outcomes.
“After the France game, I actually tried to get Mbappe – forget Giroud, I went for the top boy Mbappe – and he told me to meet him in the change rooms,” he mentioned on The Project.
“So I went to the changing room and the kit man was there and I gave him my top and 10 minutes later he came out with my jersey and says: ‘Nah, absolutely not, (Mbappe) doesn’t want to swap’.
“So when I was walking back to my change room and I’ve seen Giroud and I’m walking, as handsome as ever, and I asked him, ‘Giroud, please man, can I get your shirt man? I’m a big fan, can I get your shirt?’
“And he just walked past me, pretended he never spoke English! And he’s been in the Premier League for 10 years! (laughing).
“He just walked right past me!”
Cummings, dubbed the Cumdog or Cumdingo by soccer followers, may solely chortle off his encounter with the French famous person duo.
Speaking after Argentina’s historic World Cup win over France, Cummings joked he performed a component in famous person Lionel Messi’s unbelievable efficiency after giving him an Insta shoutout pre-game.
“I think I deserve a lot of credit (for Messi’s World Cup showing) – he’s definitely checked his phone just before, he’s seen the Cumdog pop up on his Instagram there,” he laughed.
“He’s checked that and it just gave him that extra motivation.”
The Socceroo mentioned he now believed Messi had now ended the best of all time debate with that 3-3 (4-2) penalty shootout win on Monday morning.
“I think it was the best World Cup game, never mind the final – it had everything,” he mentioned.
“I think the debate’s over now. For me, Messi’s got the GOAT status.
“He’s got the World Cup – something that (Cristiano) Ronaldo hasn’t got, and probably never get the chance to win anymore.”
