Karim Benzema, Blaise Matuidi, Olivier Giroud, Moussa Sissoko and Mathieu Valbuena helped put the French 5-0 up before Blerim Dzemaili scored a long-range free kick and Granit Xhaka doubled the Swiss total with a neat finish.

What will perhaps come as the biggest comfort to French fans is that they really do look a unified force that mean business.

Paul Pogba was the surprise exclusion from the starting line up as Giroud was preferred to help spearhead the attack and add some drive up top.

But he made up for lost time, roaring off the batch to spark another avalanche of attacks.

The French are looking good in Brazil, just imagine how good they could be looking if the injured Franck Ribery was in the squad.
