Football: Giroud makes history with France

France coach Didier Deschamps has praised striker Olivier Giroud as he scored twice for France as the Nations League group winner beat Sweden 4-2 and relegated it on Tuesday. Unbeaten France had already booked its place in the Final Four after ensuring the top spot in League 1, Group 3 with a 1-0 win at defending champion Portugal last Saturday. Croatia stayed in the top league despite losing 3-2 to Portugal at home, meaning Sweden finished bottom on goal difference behind the Croats.
