Honduras 1 Ecuador 2

France can celebrate early, because the goal difference is so high that Switzerland would need to thrash Honduras, and France get thrashed by Ecuador, to lose out. Despite a thumping 5-2 defeat, Switzerland can be expected to beat Honduras, leap-frogging over Ecuador unless it beats Deschamps' promising-looking side.
