First with Australia really playing like they always do, with HEART! They definitely gave Argentina a run for their money. England and Netherlands looking very strong! France, Brazil and Portugal in cruise control in the round of 16. Then we have Japan, they could have totally beat Croatia and losing penalties was heart breaking. Then we have MOROCCO! WOW!! Just WOW! What a game they played against one of the giants of soccer! Love to see an Arabic African team to make it to quarters making them only the 4th African team to make it this far. Definitely cheering for them against Portugal!
On to the quarters with some big games coming today with Croatia and Brazil, which should be a clinical win for Brazil but Croatia does play a very physical game and it may shake the Samba Kings if Croatia gets under their skin. Then we have my beloved Argentina playing against Netherlands. This will be tough match for Argentina and it will be a close one. I also predict that it could go to shootout. Morocco and Portugal will be very interesting, with all the distractions around Ronaldo it will be interesting how they setup their starting line up. Morocco can really upset Portugal here as well, who play a very similar style like Spain. The England and France game will be epic! Only because I think England has a very strong squad but France is just more talented. France has so many injuries prior to the world cup and they have still easily won their games. This is a change for England to really make a statement with their youth. Another very close game I would think!
Enjoy this round everyone!
Vamos Vamos Argentina!!
