    • 10 December 2022, “Angleterre-France : le king Giroud délivre des Bleus qui filent en demi-finale de la Coupe du monde”, in Le Figaro:
      Samedi, dans le désert qatarien et le magnifique stade d’Al-Bayt aux tentes de bédouins, les tenants du titre on terrassé l’Angleterre d’Harry Kane (1-2), au terme d’un quart de finale haletant, parfois fermé, parfois tendu mais surtout idéalement décanté par un Olivier Giroud symbole d’une équipe de France qui ne lâche jamais rien au Qatar.
