Switzerland will surprise a fair few people, I think. Plenty of talent in their squad, a scouts dream.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how 'the new' Valencia (Enner) performs for Ecuador.

I'm pretty sure he'll win the Best Forearms of World Cup 2014 award.

 

[ijjysmith]

Shaquiri to be the star of this group.

 

[dixe]

Who was France's top scorer in the groups, Thinking it would be Benzema

They seem to have a very easy group on paper and might be worth a punt for top goalscorer

 

[ijjysmith]

Am I right in saying Samir Nasri hasn't been picked for France?

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

[Billy Dean]

France squad announced. Looks decent to me:

Nasri's girlfriend doesn't seem too happy with her boyfriend not being called up for the French squad...
