Olivier Giroud DID swap shirts with a Socceroos player... but NOT Jason Cummings! France superstar pokes fun at Australia striker after he was accused of 'pretending not to speak English' to avoid post-match jersey switch

Olivier Giroud has hilariously responded to claims he pretended not to speak English to avoid a shirt swap with Jason Cummings, taking to Twitter to share a snap of a Socceroos jersey he picked up after their World Cup game.

Cummings told The Project of his failed attempts to swap jerseys with France superstars Giroud and Kylian Mbappe following their 4-1 defeat to Les Bleus in Qatar last month.

The Scottish-born striker claimed that former Chelsea star Giroud pretended he did not understand English to avoid swapping shirts with him.
