After today, all groups have finished playing, and we have the winners for the groups.
Which means we have the next set of matches set up. This is the knockout round, so if you lose, you are out. Games will go into overtime and a shootout if necessary.
Match 1:
Brazil vs Chile
My prediction, Brazil wins. Neymar has been doing fantastic and is tied for the Golden Boot, but they Brazil is full of world class players. Watch out for Chile though, as they had a great campaign, and could pull an upset.
Match 2:
Colombia vs Uruguay
My prediction, Colombia wins. Luis Suarez is now banned from the rest of the tournament, and much like Portugal, Uruguay is a one man team. Without him, they won't go far even if they win.
Match 3:
France vs Nigeria
My prediction, France by 2 goals. Benzema is on fire. France has been on fire. Nigeria isn't a horrible team, but not enough to beat France.
Match 4:
Germany vs Algeria
My prediction, Germany. Not only is Muller on fire and tied for the Golden Boot, but with players like Goetze, Klose, and the others, this team is my favorite to win. This is the first time ever Algeria is in the knockout round, i expect it to be over quickly.
Match 5:
Netherlands vs Mexico
My prediction, Netherlands. Mexico has surprised many with what they did, and will put up a good fight. But Ochoa can't save them from the flying dutchman RVP. And it isn't just RVP they have to worry about, but also Robben.
Match 6:
Costa Rica vs Greece
My prediction, Costa Rica. Most likely the most surprising part of the tournament was Costa Rica topping Italy and Uruguay to finish atop there group. Joel Campbell will try to lead his team even more, and have a good chance against Greece.
Match 7:
Argentina vs Switzerland
My prediction, Argentina. Even though Argentina hasn't lived up to the expectations (beating Iran 1-0 in the last minutes of the game), and haven't faced any real competition in the World Cup so far, but i think they can beat Switzerland. But Switzerland could still easily win.
Match 8
Belgium vs USA
My prediction, USA. Yes i know, "USA sucks, they can't beat anyone". That what everyone said against Ghana and Portugal too. Belgium has yet to play anybody in the World Cup, as they had Russia, Korea, and Algeria in there group. Hazard is not a concern, as the USA has already dealt with Muller, Klose, Ronaldo, and Gyua. But it won't surprise me if Belgium win.
So, what is yalls prediction for the next round of games for the World Cup?
-
I have a feeling that Argentina might win.
-
Chile better make it to finals!
-
I might have an 8 fold on this.
-
To win a match, you need to score. Only one ball entered Belgium's goal in the tournament and it was a penalty at that. Belgium's defense is top tier, I wouldn't dismiss them so easily.

I hope germany curbstomps algeria into dirt with 5-0 Otherwise the following days will be damn exciting.
-
The final of 1974 is going to happen again. Germany vs. Netherlands The final to end all finals.
-
I think Chile will win against Brazil but judging how Brazil lets themselves drop that might not happen...
-
My predictions have lead to there being a Brazil v Netherlands final.
-
I think Argentina is gonna take it.
-
those are fine predictions i have to say but u made one critical flaw: this world cup's motto has been "expect the unexpected", so now way in feck is colombia beating uruguay, or netherlands beating mexico, or argentina beating switzerland, just think logically and expect the unexpected, your predictions are cookie cutter everyday-man predictions, the norm, the standard, NOPE wipe it all way and expect the unexpected
-
I think Belgium is probably the best result for the USA, except maybe Greece. I think it might go into extra time that one.
-
USA to lose.

Edited by Zizzy: 6/27/2014 12:50:44 AMI can understand Gotze, even Goetze but [i]Goatze[/i] is where I draw the line. And dude, FFS it's Colombia! I'll maybe put my predictions tomorrow. If I remember.
-
If it goes into overtime is it sudden death or do they play the full time?
