FRANCE
After winning in 1998, 2002 couldn't have been worse - bottom of their 1st Round group, beaten by Senegal and weren't able to score a single goal. Qualification this time, in a group they should have walked, has been lttered with nervy, uninspired performances.
Key players: Viera, Zidane, Henry (pictured), Ribery.
World Ranking: 8
Betting: 10-1

SWITZERLAND
Scraped through on away goals after their pulsating play-off against Turkey had finished 4-4. The game was marred by some unpleasant incidents on the pitch and fighting after the final whistle.
Key players: Frei (pictured), Barnetta, Senderos.
World Ranking: 35
Betting: 80-1

Key players: Park Ji Sung, Park Chu Young (pictured).
World Ranking: 29
Betting: 300-1
