Cant be arsed to try and predict the scores but here is who I think will win.
Germany vs. Sweden . Germany. I thought Sweden might do them but its 2 0 now. dont see a comeback happening cos Sweden arent in the game.
Argentina vs. Mexico - Argentina
England vs. Ecuador - England
Portugal vs. Netherlands - Holland
Italy vs. Australia - Italy
Swiss vs. Ukraine - Ukraine
Brazil vs. Ghana - Brazil
Spain vs. France - France. Spain have played really well sometime but I fancy them to slip up as usual in this game. |

Nice refereeing again. Two yellows for completely innocuous fouls.
These refs should remember that there is supposed to be physical contact. Christ knows what instructions they are getting from FIFA. |

Have to disagree. Both fouls were worthy of a yellow card and the sending off was justifiable.
You could tell the ref didn't want to send Lucic off but he had no choice.
I think the ref has had a very good game so far. |

If a yellow card was given for every time someone held a shirt or obstructed anyone their would be no one left on the pitch. Take a look everytime their is a corner. |

I didnt like the refs face when he gave the red card. Smiling too much like a chimpanzee. 
and Podolsky clapped his back like they are best bum chums |

The referee did seem delighted to send him off.
I would like to see the referees get a bit tougher on players encouraging the ref to book/send players off. Its a practice that has only been happening for about the past 5 or 6 years and it gets on my nerves. |
