5) France
France have been incredibly impressive in this World Cup so far, confirming their place in the second round with thumping victories over Switzerland and Honduras.
A disappointing 0-0 draw with Ecuador once Didier Deschamps made changes to his line-up, perhaps pointing towards a lack of depth, but at their finest the French are a team who will give anyone a game.
Nigeria should be a comfortable last sixteen game, but a potentially seismic quarter final against Germany lies ahead for Les Bleus.
