France thrash Jamaica 8-0

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud was on the scoresheet in France's 8-0 friendly win over Jamaica.

Karim Benzema, Blaise Matuidi and substitute Antoine Griezmann scored two goals apiece, with Yohan Cabaye and Giroud also on target in a one-sided outing.

Griezmann's effective 20-minute cameo will have provided encouragement for coach Didier Deschamps, with the Real Sociedad winger likely to be asked to fill the void left by Franck Ribery's withdrawal from the squad to travel to Brazil.
