Judging by the friendlies, France always seemed unstable and vulnerable. I don't really know why anyone considers/considered them one of the favorites (maybe it's because they have great players). Meanwhile, Argentina went to the world cup by luck (a combination of favorable results), that's how bad they've been in the past year.

I think France is one of those teams right now that looks amazing on paper and then doesn't perform according to their potential. Like Belgium, they have the greatest team they've ever had, most likely, but haven't been able to do much with it. They lost against Wales 3-1 in the Euros with that very same team, which shouldn't even be possible. France will disappear in the round of 16 unless they get their shit together. Meanwhile, Brazil are looking like a team ready for a comeback, can't wait to see them play!

I agree. Brazil had the best track record and seems to be the most solid team. But everything can change during the world cup, I’m sure there will be surprises. Tomorrow’s match against Switzerland will be tough.
