Make of this what you will........

France will qualify for the last 16 with a two goal win today, conspiracy theorists are having a field day. 80% of Togo's massive national debt, is owed to former colonial power....... France.

Most of the controversy involving the West Africans at this World Cup has involved money, they have nothing to play for and will give some "lesser" members of the squad a game today. I will say no more on this matter, beyond... France should have this in the bag by half time, prices have very little value though.

Switzerland can top the group with a win,this means avoiding Spain and Brazil, a big incentive. Of course qualification is the first objective,which they will do with a draw, but if, as expected, France get ahead early, South Korea will have to go looking for the win and the game will open up. The Swiss have only scored twice so far, but have had 25 shots at goal, the most of any team in this group. SK came from behind against Togo, a game which turned on a dismissal and were very lucky in the match with France. Switzerland are the better team, losing only once in 20 starts and I take them to win.

2 points France -3/4 1.62 first half asian line.
4 points Switzerland -1/4 1.78 asian line
