Jason Cummings FINALLY receives the AC Milan shirt from Olivier Giroud as the footballers patch things up after the World Cup misunderstanding when the Socceroos star admits: “Your English is better than my French!”
Jason Cummings finally received a shirt from French striker Olivier Giroud as the footballers settled the dispute that erupted at the World Cup.
Australia star Cummings claimed Giroud “pretended he couldn’t speak English” when he approached the Frenchman for his shirt after their group match in Qatar last year.
However, Giroud later revealed that he had already promised to give his jersey to Cummings’ teammate Jackson Irvine after the Socceroos’ 4–1 loss.

Central Coast Mariners star Cummings later revealed that he and Giroud had patched things up on Instagram following the misunderstanding, and were in the process of sending each other jerseys.
And now Cummings has Giroud’s AC Milan shirt in his hands, as the Socceroos posted an image of the 27-year-old holding the shirt, as well as the former Premier League striker holding a Mariners shirt.
‘What a legend @_OlivierGiroud. I finally got my hands on your shirt haha. Your English is better than my French mon frère.
‘The best man and all the best for the season. Enjoy brother Vegemite.
Reflecting on the fight just before Christmas, Cummings insisted that it was a storm in a teacup.
Cummings claimed that French players snubbed him after their World Cup match.

The 36-year-old clarified that he had already agreed to a trade with Jackson Irvine.
“It was a bit twisted that people thought that Giroud told me that he didn’t speak English. That was not the case,” Cummings told The Saturday Morning Mowers Club.
“He probably didn’t understand me because I speak Scottish and sometimes I say gibberish.” ‘He just didn’t understand me or something, I’m not really sure. It was just a misunderstanding.
But it’s all settled now. In fact, yesterday I woke up to a message from the main man, Oli G, Olivier Giroud. In fact, he messaged me on Instagram and it turns out he’s a great guy.
“He has offered to send me an AC Milan shirt and apologized for the misunderstanding and stuff.
‘It shows that he’s actually a good guy. I said I’m going to send him a Mariners jersey. Turns out we’re best friends now. So I got the last laugh.
