Mathieu Valbuena has hailed France's collective performance during Sunday's victory over Honduras at the World Cup.

Mathieu Valbuena has hailed France's collective performance during Sunday's victory over Honduras at the World Cup.

Karim Benzema was among the goalscorers as Les Blues opened their campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win in Porto Alegre.

"It went very well," Valbuena told FIFA.com. "You get days like that, when you realise that everything's going to go your way, that every pass could lead to an opportunity. But it was the team performance that made me feel at ease."

France return to action on Friday when they face Switzerland in Salvador.
