    Given that their defence looked very weak last night, I think they need to be very wary of being too attacking - if they push up too much with either full back, France will be very keen to exploit any space in behind (as they did so well against Switzerland). Lahm could end up being dragged all over the show to try and cover if he is the holding midfielder.

    I think it will be really difficult for Low to get his tactics right against France. France seem equally happy with the ball or can switch to play a very effective counter attacking game - at this stage they are my idea of the winners. Also lots of bench options - Remy is bound to offer something as well if given a chance.

    I don't think there's any 'may' about it.

    This game is just confirming to me that the supposed big teams all look vulnerable and the more I think about it the more Colombia look hugely overvalued.

    Well the Swiss got what they deserved in the end I reckon although I only saw the last 20 minutes + ET but Argentina looked very average bar Messi of course

    Benzema gets some stick on here, but IMO Higuain is a rotten player, far worse.
    Lazy, paceless, gutless and couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo.
    Argentina have been my only bet as outright winners so far and I reckon that's as good as gone.
