PreGame:

France,the great pretenders, what can you say. They can be very frustrating to watch at times, seemingly not caring enough to work the yards to win a game. But they definitely have some awesome talent in the squad.

Hugo Lloris, the captain, is an exceptionally gifted keeper who well marshals his defence. A defence with Evra bombing forward all the time, Pogba getting his foot about and harrying in midfield, with an all star forward line of either Giroud or Benzema ready to pounce. They haven’t a bad team at all the French. But can they be bothered enough? How many times has this French team disappointed? They really have never replaced Zidane. They need a midfield general to direct attacks and get the team moving along, someone who inspires and leads by example. They need a leader on the pitch, but they dont have one, and they wont be winning any world cup this time around.

key players for me will be Benzema. Now that Ribery is missing he has a lot more pressure to shoulder. Can he do it? Not sure, but against Honduras he should at least get a good few chances to score.

Honduras for me were the worst team in the last world cup. They appeared lethargic and it seemed they had no idea what they were meant to be doing on the pitch. So imagine my surprise when I see they have only gone and qualified for another world cup. Well done to the manager, Luis Fernando Suárez on that front.

It’s not that they don’t have some talent in their squad, they do. Wilson Palacios is one of their key players, a player who has donned the shirts of a few English clubs at this stage. Quick and a good passer, on his day he can cause problems.

But the overall depth of the squad is short, and I don’t think they will France too many problems.

A more detailed review on France here and on Honduras here

Honduras were fairly rough in this game, lucky to escape with just the one red. Had no chance once their key player Palacios went off, for two silly yellow cards.

Not really a whole lot to say as France did exactly what I expected, put Honduras to the sword fairly easy without too much trouble. Some have said it was a brilliant performance, but I wouldnt go that far as Honduras a very poor team. Would like to see how France get on against a well drilled defence. Maybe Switzerland will give them a better test?

Benzema stepped up to take charge of the forward line, in the absences or Ribery, and did well. He is off the mark now and should get a goal or two in the next few games.

Honduras have to play Ecuador and that essentially is their world cup. If they win I guess they can hope on a draw against Switzerland.
