    It puzzles the hell out of me why people keep referring to the France-Argentina game as an upset and a shock result. Argentina have won 4 of their last 5 games against France. A French win would have been the upset!

    None of the previous five were A team v A team is the main reason, plus the froggies won the last one.
    I wouldn't call it a shock result but at home hosting a world cup the French were certainly favoured to win as then #3 v #6 and that constitutes an upset in my view.
    Most of the Argentinians play in the French Pro Clubs so all are very familiar with the French Nationals.

    Really...it would certainly be doing it the hard way...the winner has to back up the following week, and what do you think the French team wouldn't do to win that game?

    Yep...the NH thinks of them as "friendlies", but you play what you train.
