France
France is one team which has found out a way to underperform in the big tournaments in recent years. Whether it was the 2016 Euro or the present World Cup the team isn't doing justice to the talent that they possess.
France managed to get off to a winning start in its opening fixture against Australia but it was a closely contested match with Australia almost eeking out a draw in that match. Though their performance was much better in the next match against Peru it needs to up their game to get anywhere close to winning the title.
France's final match against Denmark was probably the worst match of the tournament with neither of the teams making an effort to win the match. France definitely has the ability to perform better and is a definite candidate for reaching the semifinals. While Messi will be coming in their way in the Round of 16, France can easily surpass that challenge if they perform to even half of its potential
