Not easy for France. Nigeria can match them physically.

Vincent Enyeama's a great keeper and will be tuff to score against. Still, France has been the better overall team so far and should take this.

sakho apparently injured and a doubt , might be facing a suspension too along with giroud. Dumb from dechamps to play him today when he knew he had a thigh problem only to make it worse.

Go France! If Nigeria meets Germany (probable) in the QF, the match would be officially "NIG-GER".

I was going to pick Nigeria to win this, then i found out they refused to train the other because they hadn't received their Round of 16 bonuses yet. Unbelievable really.

Btw, apparently the third place match is worth 2 million dollars. Imagine how hard NBA players would play at the All-Star Game if the winners were in line for 160 grand each.

Meh In football/soccer it's skill over physicality. France has way more of the former
