Its football’s greatest tournament, unrivalled in glamour, prestige and universal appeal and indeed this World Cup marks a unique spot in the tract of history – it is the first time that FIFA World Cup is hosted by an African nation.
France is a hot bet by bookmakers to win in Group A and the bookmakers offer the odds of 2.05 for a French victory. In any stacked odds, France is still likely to be the outright winner of the 2010 World Cup. France rallied around Zinedine Zidane to reach the World Cup final in Germany and the lightning rod for this tournament for France is Thierry Henry. They have a lethal team asset in the form of strikers Nicolas Anelka and Karim Benzema. With Henry, their offensive is as formidable as unstoppable.
Basing on the number of countries that could reign as World Cup champions in 2010, France is the best to compete for the crown as world’s best. With their high technical skills as well as expectations and considering this is their fourth straight tournament, the round of 16 seems to be a minimum exit point. In FIFA, anything is possible and certainly anything is possible if the French can hold up and make it to the knockout round. In any case, the French is unlikely to be at the periphery of the World’s greats at this football extravaganza this summer.
