France - Group E
Depending on your point of view on the French National Team (or perhaps just the French, full-stop) the massive hissy fit of self-destruction that ended their 2010 World Cup was either a travesty or absolutely hilarious. Either way, this time history seems extremely unlikely to repeat itself. Les Bleus have gotten their act together, and should dominate this relatively easy group.
Players to watch: Young midfielders Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba are on the brink of stardom, and would do well to announce their presences. Karim Benzema and the famously handsome Olivier Giroud will be the focal point of the attack.
Prediction: Out to Germany in the quarterfinals.... Insert your own joke here.
