You would have to assume France will be the winners of their group. I look forward to seeing how they get on in their opening game.
Enjoy the match!

Sakho captained France during their warm up games and did a good job of it, if he's playing I'll be cheering them on.

Never assume anything where the French are concerned, but yes, if they actually turn up they should breeze through this group.

France: Lloris; Debuchy, Varane, Sakho, Evra; Pogba, Cabaye, Matuidi; Valbuena, Benzema, Griezmann

Honduras: Valladares; Beckeles, Bernadez, Figueroa, Izaguirre; Chavez, Palacios, Garrido, Espinoza; Bengtson, Costly

Quite surprised to see no Koscielny.

I've got Benzema/3-0 for this, so expect a Honduras win.

Would be a massive shock is France fail to win. Honduras will probably set up to frustrate though, so can only see France getting a couple of goals.

Given only 2 out of the 18 teams so far have had clean sheets, and the amount of abject defending and goalkeeping going on, I would argue that's likely to fail spectacularly, might as well go for it like all the other teams have done so far. Its been the running theme of the WC.

Can't see France winning. Honduras will spoil for 90 minutes. Possibly 0-0.

High. England got off lightly on the injury front against this lot.

Really loving some of the stadium designs in this World Cup.

I'm surprised by how many names I recognise in that French team, and that's not even including some of those who have been left out (Koscielny and Giroud).

I've never been fully convinced by Benzema though.

This should be interesting. I expect France to win, but of course you never know.

If France score early and keep the momentum going, an easy win.
Can't see a surprise as with Holland and Costa Rica. I also like the kit, darker blue.

Switched over to RB1, JP sucks as a commentator.
