I'm not following football much these days but I must say I'm a bit dumb founded at the favorite status of France, well obviously as of now it's the only "major" team left with Brazil, but long before the World Cup too. Sure the team has talent (arguably a lot) but it's never been a major issue since the Platini days (some of the pre 1994 teams had good rosters and great strikers even if the never did much).
Oh well, who cares ? Wouldn't mind being proven wrong.
