WORLD CUP 2014: France 3 - 0 Honduras

Karim Benzema scored twice and created a third that was confirmed by goal-line technology as France eased into its World Cup campaign with a 3-0 victory over Honduras on Sunday.

The convincing victory - albeit against a 10-man team for more than 45 minutes - was in stark contrast to the team's performances in South Africa four years ago, when the highly paid squad failed to win a single match and was sent home in a disgrace after going on a training strike. It now tops group E and, with Switzerland and Ecuador left to play, stands a good chance of staying there.
