International Career
Giuly has been capped for France, but was removed from his country's Euro 2004 squad due to a leg injury he sustained in the 2004 Champions League Final.
Giuly was not selected for the French 2006 World Cup squad, as young Marseille playmaker Franck Ribéry was selected over Giuly. However, with Djibril Cissé having broken his leg in a World Cup warm-up match against China, Giuly could have been called up, but he asserted after the initial France squad was announced that he would go on holiday to Dubai and Kish instead of waiting idly in the stand-by squad, and Sidney Govou was called up instead. Despite this, Domenech opened a door for Giuly whether he want to play for the national team.
He also qualifies for the non-FIFA affiliated team of Corsica, having been called up for their May 31, 2011 friendly with Bulgaria.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
