    Swiss score, almost identical to the Ecuador goal. Corner instead of freekick the only difference.

    Both goals poorly defended.

    1-1 is about right thus far

    I've got France for 1-0 so fingers crossed on that one for me.

    Argie's should blitz Bosnia though.

    France should destroy Honduras. Just because we couldn't beat them doesn't make them any good unfortunately.

    Well, I've got the teams scoring 7 goals between them in the next two games . . . so you could probably put your house on low scores, yes! <steam>

    France should score, Honduras should get at least 1 red card and then France should set a new World Cup scoring record . . . is what should happen! <ok>

    Sakho starting CB for France.

    Also Greizmann starts - looking forward to watching him. Think he's going to be a star.

    Pogba as well, the guy has been a revelation at Juve and United must be kicking themselves for letting him go for nothing.

    I look at the French Squad and I'm not impressed with its attack. Benzema is overrated and they'll miss Ribery big time

    See I disagree.

    Benzema is a goal scorer. Give him 2 chances and he'll stick 1 away.

    Greizmann is exciting and Cabaye is a quality player who offers a threat as does Pogba. Yes they miss Ribery but still more than enough quality in that team if they play well.

    For me Benzema's reputation is based entirely on the other players at Real. He has Ronaldo, Bale, Di Maria and Ozil (in the past) to do all the hard work leaving Benzema with an easy job.

    The younger players I don't know much about, but alot still play in France and the French league has proved it makes alot of its players look alot better than they are.

    Plus its France, unpredictable and never seem to put it together as a team since 98.

    Lloris, Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra, Pogba, Cabaye, Matuidi, Valbuena, Benzema, Griezmann.

    Of them, only Cabaye, Mutuidi, Valbuena play in France and Cabaye has proven himself in the Prem.

    Benzema get's a lot of stick because he's "the other forward" at Madrid, but the he's like Sturridge for us. Not the main man (or men at Madrid) but still scores plenty of goals and get's lots of assists.

    Benzema's very good when surrounded by creative players because he'll always put chances away.

    France have a very exciting team imo. Griezmann has been linked with us a few times and lots of other European teams and is very talented and quick. Pogba we have all heard about and seen in a great season at Juventus. Valbuena seems like he's been around for ages now and is lightning fast on the flank. Cabaye a lovely passer and their CB pairing of Sakho and Varane are both major talents too.

    They'll miss Ribery, anyone would, but they'll still do very well.
