Karim Benzema scores a beauty in France’s dismantling of Switzerland

Switzerland were already down 3-0 when Didier Deschamps decided to compound their misery by bringing on Paul Pogba. It took less than five minutes for the midfielder to make an impact.

As the Switzerland defense stood back, Pogba lofted his cross over a red shirted defender. Philippe Senderos attempted to get a boot on the ball, but failed to even come close. Instead, it fell kindly to Karim Benzema, who got the side of his boot on it and neatly nutmegged goalkeeper Diego Benaglio for France's fourth goal.

That's also the third goal of the tournament for Benzema -- could he be this World Cup's Golden Boot winner?

Oh, and Moussa Sissokho decided to go ahead and put in a fifth shortly after, just to keep piling on the pain.
