The day we've all been waiting for is finally here. The World Cup kicked off in South Africa on Friday with the inaugural game between the hosts and Mexico ended in a 1-1. That match will be followed by Uruguay vs France at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town and it promises to be just as exciting as opening match.

Oscar Washington Tabarez already announced the starting lineup for the Celestes, who will look for just their second win a World Cup match since 1970. Uruguay will play in 3-4-1-2 formation and will lineup Muslera; Lugano, Godin, Victorino; Perez, Alvaro Periera, Arevalo Rios, Ignacio Gonzalez, Maxi Pereira, Diego Forlan, and Luis Suarez.

Uruguay has a powerful tandem at the forward position with Atletico Madrid star Diego Forlan, who won the European Golden Shoe award in 2009, and Ajax's Luis Suarez, who was the highest goal scorer in the world this past season according to the IFFHS.

France, meanwhile, heads into the World Cup with much uncertainty after looking flat in recent international exhibition matches. The 1998 world champions, however, have one of the world's best players in Frank Ribery leading their attack. Ribery will have Chelsea striker Nikolas Anelka next to him in the middle while Lyon’s Sidney Govou will be on the left. You also can’t ignore the fact that Thierry Henry is on the bench although conditioning issues have been a concern for the Barcelona striker.

Both of these sides met in the 2002 World Cup with the match ended in a scoreless draw.

France’s probable lineup: Lloris; Sagna, Gallas, Abidal, Evra (c); Gourcuff, Toulalan, Malouda; Govou, Anelka, Ribéry
