(666 posts)While I enjoy the group stage play and the round of 16, this is where the tournament really heats up. We have what are the top 8 teams that must lay it all on the line for their country or go home. Its either glory or defeat. This is what its all about. Every game should be great!!
Croatia v Brazil
For those high on Brazils latest performance, dont expect this to be a blowout. Croatia has the experience, they know how to slow the game down, and theyll have the patience to wait for their chances. Thats not to say theyll win, but there no reason to believe theyll just roll over. I predict a victory for Brazil.
Netherlands v Argentina
Netherlands has a team that can hang in with anyone. I just think Argentina has the Messi factor with them and theyll find a way to win.
Morocco v Portugal
A majority of the players for Morocco play in the top tiers of the top European leagues, so they arent afraid of facing world class competitors. But if Portugal plays like they did last game, I just dont see them losing. Morocco had a good run, but it ends here.
England v France
Heres two teams that hate each other. More big name stars in this game than the others and it should be close. I just think France is a little quicker up front against what can be a slow-to-react England defense.
Enjoy the games!!
