France

France will look to put their Euro 2016 final disappointment behind them in Russia.

Didier Deschamps has a wealth of talent at his disposal, with the luxury of excluding a number of stars from his squad, including the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Anthony Martial.

Peru

Peru’s buildup to the World Cup has been dominated by Paolo Guerrero’s legal battle to play at the tournament after he received a suspension for doping.

Peru’s star striker has since been allowed to play in Russia and scored twice in the country’s most recent friendly, a 3-0 victory over Saudi Arabia.
