World Cup Group G

Teams: France, Switzerland, South Korea and Togo.

Strength of the group: Quite a week group overall and one France should comfortably win. Togo, another unknown quantity will struggle whilst Guus Hiddink's influence will probably be missed by South Korea.

City link: It still amazes me that Mikael Silvestre and Jean-Alouin Boumsong can be named to the France squad ahead of Sylvain Distin.

Keep an eye on: Franck Ribery. The young Marseille winger has attracted the attention of big clubs across Europe and is making a late bid for a starting position.

Expect: Thierry Henry to fill his boots in the group stages on his way to winning the golden boot.

Don't expect: Djibril Cisse to sport the same hairstyle at any game during the tournament.

Qualifiers: France and Switzerland.
