Considering how well that worked out for them against Belgium, a match where they got REALLY lucky but still fell short, I don't see them being much of a challenge for the more talented and organised germans. If Germany can score just once in the first half this game is a blowout.

France have looked good so far and a Nigerian upset sounds really unlikely. Were it not for a blown offside call in the Bosnia game, they wouldn't even be in the knockout stages.

All that being said, I'm hoping for a surprise! It's always fun to see a massive underdog take down an established power.
