- World Cup 2022: News and features | Bracket | Schedule | SquadsGiroud celebrates his goal against Poland to become French men's national team's all-time scorer. Giroud's record for FranceWhile few could have predicted such a turn of events, Giroud has earned his place as his nation's all-time record holder. His most productive calendar year in terms of international goals was 2017, when he scored eight goals in five games for France. However, he did score at the 2014 World Cup, in a 5-2 group-stage drubbing of Switzerland, and has got himself back amongst the World Cup goals in Qatar,. He has also appeared at four men's World Cup tournaments -- 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 -- a feat only matched by current goalkeeper and France captain Hugo Lloris.
