World Cup game Previews and picks for June 15

Switzerland vs Ecuador

The amazing thing about Switzerland is their ability to make other teams look poor with the fact that there aren't many household names on their side.  I am always impressed with that ability and this game should just further their name in that regard. Ecuador is one of the lower ranked teams in the tournament and only the second lowest in the group.  I can't see them providing a test of any sort to one of the best TEAMS in the world.  That is just what the Suisse are, a team.  I see the final being 2-0 Suisse.

France vs Honduras

The French have really fallen in recent years from being easily top ten in the world.  It really has been disappointing but this game should help them to being at least number two in this group.  Honduras isn't ranked even within the top 30 in the world so the French should have little trouble but of course this is the French.  Honduras could make it 3 out of 3 for the Concacaf region in the cup but I just don't see that stretch continuing against a healthy Fench side.  The Ticos had the benefit in their first game to miss out on facing a Suarez led Uruguay side but there just is too much firepower with the French.  I see it 1-0 France.

Argentina vs Bosnia-Herzegovina 

This game will most likely determine the top spot in the group as the Bosnians and Argentines are the class of the group.  Both ranked within the top twenty in the world, this game should showcase a quality match.  Argentina boast the worlds best player in my hook and a heck of a striking attack with Messi and Aguero up front along with Higuain. The Bosnins match that attack with a quality one of their own led by Edin Dzeko.  I just see this as a bit too much quality and the large number of Argentine fans bringing the best out of their side.  I see it 3-1 Argentina.
