Your support makes all the difference.France carry a huge expectation to win big in Group C and they kick off their World Cup campaign against Australia.
Les Bleus are on a mission since losing the Euro 2016 on home soil to Portugal, but Didier Deschamps squad is expected to breeze through their group against Peru, Denmark and the Socceroos. With all four teams looking rich in talent, France needs to be extra wary if they intend to qualify to the final 16. France right-back Djibril Sidibe is still suffering from a knee injury, so it looks like Benjamin Pavard is set to start in his place.
Australia could drop Mile Jedinak but head coach Bert van Marwijk might play Massimo Luongo in central midfield.
Both teams are looking strong, but France will have to battle it out for a win.

But who do you think will win? Let us know by voting above.
22 min: Dembele appears to have been taken out but, to the bewilderment of French supporters, no free-kick given.
Australia are still growing in confidence here with Aziz Behich having some joy down the left hand side.
25 min: We're over half way through this first half and despite the positive start from France, underdogs Australia look comfortable.
Very comfortable.
27 min: And they have another free kick, mid-way into France's defensive half. Mooy poised over it once more.
28 min: Another testing cross but this time Lloris comes out and claims it for himself.
29 min: A strong tackle from Sainsbury has just burst the ball.
Mark Lawrenson sums it up in commentary, scathingly adding: 'You don't get much for 49.99 these days.'
What footballs are you buying, Mark?
32 min: The game itself has hit a bit of a lull and these French stars are not matching up to their big billing just yet.
As I say that, Hernandez has a bit of space on the left hand side and his cross-shot goes out for a France corner.
35 min: France with a couple of minutes of pedestrian passing. Stadium's intensity dropping.
39 min: If you're just joining us on this live feed and were expecting to see a French onslaught, think again.
Australia aren't giving their opponents a moments peace and French boss Didier Deschamps will have a strong word or two at half-time.
40 min: More strong words from Lawrenson who roundly mocks Lucas Hernandez for his dramatic fall.
'A dislocated shoelace, maybe?'
