Giroud: We don't want to waste this opportunity

The forward says his nation are more focused for the World Cup final than they were two years ago when they lost to Portugal at Euro 2016

Olivier Giroud believes a focus on mentality is the reason why this France team is different to the one that lost the European Championships final to Portugal in 2016.

Giroud, 31, will lead the line again as France play Croatia in Sunday’s World Cup final, having started every game in the tournament except for the first.

Les Bleus are favourites to lift the trophy after impressive knockout wins against Argentina, Uruguay and Belgium and Giroud says France will not let another opportunity for international silverware pass them by.
