My guess for 1/8 and 1/4 finals :

Uruguay/South Corea (likely)
USA/Ghana (likely)
=> Uruguay/USA (toss-up)

Nederlands/Slovakia (safe)
Brazil/Chile (likely)
=> Netherland/Brazil (likely)

Argentina/Mexico (lean)
Germany/England (likely)
=> Argentina/Germany (lean)

Paraguay/Japan (safe)
Spain/Portugal (toss-up)
=> Paraguay/Spain (likely)

And thus 100% latin semifinals ! Shocked

Netherlands/Brazil (likely)
=> Uruguay/Brazil (safe)

Argentina/Germany (lean)
Paraguay/Spain (safe)
=> Argentina/Spain (lean)

My guess for 1/8 and 1/4 finals :

Uruguay/South Corea (likely) RIGHT
USA/Ghana (likely) WRONG
=> Uruguay/USA (toss-up)

Nederlands/Slovakia (safe) RIGHT
Brazil/Chile (likely) RIGHT
=> Netherland/Brazil (likely)

Argentina/Mexico (lean) RIGHT
Germany/England (likely) RIGHT
=> Argentina/Germany (lean)

Paraguay/Japan (safe) RIGHT
Spain/Portugal (toss-up) RIGHT
=> Paraguay/Spain (likely)

And thus 100% latin semifinals ! Shocked

Well, so I was right for 7 out of 8 matches. Good.

Now let's go for quarter and semifinals :

Uruguay/Ghana (lean) RIGHT
Netherlands/Brazil (likely) WRONG
=> Uruguay/Brazil (safe)

Argentina/Germany (lean) WRONG
Paraguay/Spain (safe) RIGHT
=> Argentina/Spain (lean)

Now my percentage of succes has decreased to 50%. Sad

However, I'd have prefered to be wrong about Uruguay...

So, Anyways :

Uruguay/Netherlands (lean)
Germany/Spain (likely)
=> Germany/Netherlands (likely)

So, Anyways :

Uruguay/Netherlands (lean)
Germany/Spain (likely)
=> Germany/Netherlands (likely)

50% success one again... Sad

For the final, I will predict a Spain win, but I think it will be a tough match.
