France attacker Olivier Giroud hopes he'll show his countryman Thierry Henry that he's on the wrong side, ahead of the semi-final clash between France and Belgium.

Henry won the 1998 World Cup with France, but has found himself against his country this time around as the legendary striker is a member of Roberto Martinez's staff for Belgium.

Chelsea forward forward Giroud says it will be strange to see the French icon on the opposite side but that he's fully focused to win.

"Obviously, I'll be very proud to show Thierry Henry that he's chosen the wrong camp," Giroud said ahead of Tuesday's semi-final in Saint Petersburg.

"It is true that it will be weird to see him lining up against us for the game, it will also be a special game for him. Personally, I just care about winning."
