Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has this afternoon responded to FFF President Noël Le Graët’s assertion that he would never play for France again via a post on Twitter.
Benzema: "Noel, I thought that you did not interfere with the decisions of the national team coach!"
"Know that it will be me and me alone who decides when my international career is over."
"If you think that I am finished, let me play for a country that I am eligible to play for and we will see.”

He is the best no.9 in the world he's been improving so much ever since at Madrid and the departure of Ronaldo, though Ronaldo will still remain the best player, Benzema has done all the hard work to help the team hope to see him play international again soon

France has to be like Spain Portugal or Argentina playing their best players like Sergio Ramos CR7 and Messi no matter what their age is he deserves a place in the team's line up

I wonder what Giroud has given to this Franch FA. France has deadliest strikers in the world but Giroud is favourite. No matter how he underperforms he is always picked for next gamea and bug tournament. He may not get playtime at Chelsea but still he is favorite. The French FA has gone a step further to threaten Chelsea for not playing him. Does he possess lucky charm?

Hello Benzema, have you forgotten the rules governing international football? It's not the France FA or their chairman would allow you to play for a country other than France. You are the one to decide and you took that decision long time ago when you denied your father land Algeria. You can't eat your cake and have it.

deschamp said that only player with consistency playing time will be selected to France national team , what is his excuse with Karim, the guy is playing for the biggest team in the world , france must be just and let him play for Algeria

I think I will be appropriate that he plays for his birth country Algeria or maybe Spain course by now he should have obtained his citizenship in spain

Benzema is not even the top 10 no: 9 in the world and Giroud is not even top 20 no: 9 in the world so there is no point of selecting both of them But the coach need a person in no:9 not for his finishing or passing ability but as target man and Giroud is better than Benzema for that . (Don't just look at the stats Being a top player Benzema miss lot of good chance )
