Olivier Giroud Promised To Shave His Head If France Won The World Cup

Olivier Giroud Promised To Shave His Head If France Won The World Cup

A new look for the striker ahead of the new season?

Olivier Giroud was one of a host of French players to come up with a forfeit if they went on to win the World Cup for the second time.

Prior to the tournament, the Chelsea striker had promised to shave off his beautiful head of hair in the event that he became a World Cup winner. Of course, he had forgotten about it but TF1 were quick to remind him after France's 4-2 triumph over Croatia yesterday and even did their best to do the deed straight away.

However, the former Arsenal man does appear to be a man of his word and later revealed a date for which he will get the transformational trim - that being after his child is baptised next week on 22 July.

Bald David Silva is still taking some getting used to so seeing handsome Oli G without his wonderfully conditioned hair will definitely take some getting used to.

He won't be alone in the forfeit though as Lyon's Nabil Fekir, heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, made the very same bet.

Several other France players also made some very bizarre challenges before the showpiece in Russia, including Hugo Lloris going on a pub crawl and Adil Rami promising to have a martial arts fight against Teddy Riner.

Reckon Giroud could pull it off?

Sound off in the comments.
