France finishing the leader or Canada finishing the leader their respective groups? Which one do you think is safer bet?

[durden_tyler]

France definitely. Being at home and all, Japan and Brazil should be easy wins and they’ll likely be slight favorites against the Germans.

Canada being in the group of death, i think that’s the tougher one.
