Group F chat in here
I saw the FIFA Preview Show for this group on Sky Sport on Wednesday night (two half hour episodes debuting every Wednesday 7 - 8 pm on Sky Sport 1).
Interesting that Bob Marley's daughter Cedella is the main patron and financial backer of the "Reggae Girlz".
She saved the team after the Jamaican FA withdrew funding in 2008.

The whole preview series is available on Sky Go.

My predictions
Brazil 6-1 Panama - Brazil have a pretty good attack and Panama on debut will probably take a beating
France 4-1 Jamaica - Cruisy win for a quality France team
France 2-1 Brazil - France win a close matchup between the clear best two teams in the group, let's say Brazil lead at half time
Panama 1-3 Jamaica - Jamaica have been to the WC before and have a slightly better squad, so they'll win.
Jamaica 2-5 Brazil - Brazil to put on another goalscoring show in the decisive game, knocking Jamaica out
Panama 0-5 France - One of the worst teams vs one of the best, hence probably one-sided even though France will rotate
France will go on to the semifinals and end up 4th, a RO16 exit beckons for Brazil

Absolutely top level game between France and Brazil. Great atmosphere, excellent skills and end to end action. France probably deserved their win but it was very close.
Jamaica move into 2nd beating Panama overnight - now they only need a draw against Brazil to advance!
France Panama in a 9 goal thriller. Panama scored in the first two minutes with a screaming free kick from 35 minutes which soared, bent and then dipped into the top corner. World class goal. After that it was total French dominance. Finished France 6-3 but Panama never gave up. This WC is so entertaining, just loving it.
