Some wonderful matches are on today with two of the possible favourites for the cup playing: Argentina (against Bosnia Herzegovina) and France (vs Honduras).
With their fairly easy group and comfortable playing venues, Argentina are many writers' picks to be champions next month. France, with a young and exciting team, have braved the drones and will also be challenging with an eye to success in 2016 at the Euros.
