Group C in this summer’s World Cup features four nations who are all very different from one another, which should make for an intriguing round of fixtures.
Headlining the group is European powerhouse France who may have one of the top attacks in all of international soccer. Despite not winning Euro 2016 in their own backyard, Les Bleus are still a favorite to go deep in this summer’s tournament.
Denmark and Peru are two teams that will be fighting for the second place finish in Group C after making it to the tournament in different scenarios. The Danes rolled past Ireland in the UEFA playoffs, led by the playmaking ability of Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen. Peru defeated New Zealand, 2-0, in the final playoff draw following a first leg home draw, and will have their star forward Paolo Guerrero available.
Rounding out the group will be Australia who eliminated Honduras, 3-1, via a two legged playoff last year.
The race for second will be an intriguing one and there are a number of different ways Group C can finish. France will be the heavy favorite to win the group, but there could be some surprises.
