The 2022 World Cup is underway and we already have four players with at least two goals to heat up the race for the Golden Boot. The latest to score a double was France’s Olivier Giroud – who equaled Thierry Henry for the most goals ever in Les Bleus’ iconic shirt with 51 – during 4-1 win over Australia in the first match of the group stage.
