Yohan Cabaye (Hero): Performed well on the pitch for France but his intervention after a couple of French players namely Morgan Schneiderlin and Bacary Sagna said they should win the World Cup after topping their group otherwise it would be a failure earns him special praise. "The fact we showed our quality in the group stage obviously should make us more confident but not arrogant, otherwise we are going to have major problems," said the 28-year-old displaying the sort of down to earth common sense that would have stood the cursed team of 2010 in good stead.
