15:40 Both Bacary Sagna and Morgan Schneiderlin suggested that France were potential champions after the stalemate at the Maracana, but centre-back Laurent Koscielny has since introduced a note of caution as Les Bleus prepare for Monday's game in Brasilia.

15:20 While Didier Deschamps's side garnered plaudits by sweeping past Honduras 3-0 and crushing Switzerland 5-2, a much-changed team could only draw 0-0 in their final Group E fixture against Ecuador on Wednesday.

15: 00 In previous World Cups, France have always reached at least the semifinals after qualifying from the group phase, but circumspection has become the order of the day in the French camp this week.
The Super Eagles progressed from Group F behind winners Argentina, while opponents France advanced to the knockout rounds undefeated, off the back of two superb Karim Benzema displays and brimming with confidence.

Having amassed the third highest (only Colombia and Netherlands scored more) number of goals in the group stage, Les Bleus will hope to live up to their favourites tag and dismiss Nigeria with comparative ease, potentially setting up a mouth-watering quarter-final clash with Germany on 4 July.
