Possible France Starting Line-Up
4-2-3-1
Lloris
Debuchy Varane Koscielny Evra
Pogba Matuidi
Griezmann Cabaye Ribery
Benzema
The Coach: Didier Deschamps
The former defensive midfielder spent the best years of his career with Juventus in Italy. It was he who guided the club out of Serie B after their relegation due to their part in the Calciopoli scandal that rocked Italian soccer in 2006. The former Monaco and Marseille boss took on the France job in July 2012 just before the World Cup qualifying campaign and earned a contract extension until 2016 after guiding Les Bleus through the play-offs.
Player to Watch: Franck Ribery
The Bayern Munich star has played the best soccer of his career over the last two years and was narrowly edged out in the voting for the 2013 Ballon d’Or, much to his frustration. Ribery boasts skill and technique in abundance together with excellent workrate. Ribery has disappointed in major tournaments in the past, but now at the peak of his career, the 2014 World Cup represents a genuine opportunity to stamp his mark on the world stage.
Group Matches:
Sunday, June 15, 2014 v Honduras (Porto Alegre)
Friday, June 20, 2014 v Switzerland (Salvador)
Wednesday, June 25, 2014 v Ecuador (Rio de Janeiro)
Prediction: Quarter-finals
