That Switzerland/Argentina matchup is intriguing.

I think I'd rather play the Swiss because Messi.

[Goondal]

I am looking forward to Brazil-Chile myself

[KendrickPanther]

The Swiss are damned good too. Shaqiri has all the talent in the world and fresh legs from his bench time in Munich.

[Toundra]

The Swiss are indeed a trap team,  Argentina is in troubles.

Winner in bold.

Switzerland is a very stout team indeed, Argentina will need to find their higher pace if they want to unleash Messi against a team that's much better than their opponents from the group stage.

[KendrickPanther]

Messi could win the game with 2 moments of greatness. He could also disappear for the duration of the match. Chile has a great chance but the referees will favor the host nation. Netherlands is the sort of team that will impress you then lay an egg.

[Goondal]

My picks: Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Argentina, Belgium

 

So basically I went with the eight group winners.  I think if one falls it is most likely to be Costa Rica, Argentina or Belgium.  I think Brazil will win but closer than they would like.  I feel pretty confident about Colombia, France, Germany and Netherlands.  Had Suarez not lost his mind again the Colombia-Uruguay game would have been the one I was most looking forward to.

[Goondal]

Very excited for the next four days.  Yesterday sucked without any games on.

[Goondal]

I really despise when fans boo a national anthem.  Even more reason for me to root for Chile I suppose

[Goondal]

Neymar limping around for a couple of minutes and now getting treatment on the sidelines.

[Goondal]

I am stunned that Brazil did not get a PK on that one.

[Goondal]

And Brazil leads...crap

[Ja Rhule]

Neymar flops every minute. Good lord.
