I'm fairly concerned about several european teams including Sweden, England and Germany. Their performances have been lackluster...
Sweden, like England, has been playing quite sloppy and barely made a goal in the last few minutes again. Sweden I think will be exiting this shortly, with England to follow if they do not quickly improve.
Though nearly all my predictions have been correct, I do not think these two teams will go far this year if the current performance issues persist.
Predictions for tomorrow:
Argentina versus Serbia and Montenegro: Argentina - Argentina is fresh from victory. Serbia is lacking a player after an injury hit one of their players, and their replacement just left. Serbia did put up a solid defense against the Netherlands, however I think Argentina is better then the Netherlands, and is not demoralized. So I say Argentina.
Netherlands versus Ivory Coast: Ivory Coast remains demoralized after their defeat against Argentina, and I must give this one to the Netherlands.
Mexico versus Angola: Mexico is simply the better team, and I do think they will win. Though Angola did put a fight against Portugal, I do not see this lasting against the Mexican team. The Mexicans are fresh from victory against Iran.
Predictions for saturday:
Italy versus United States: ITALY - The US will be completely crushed in this round, and suffer at the hands of the superior Italian team. The Italians have a great offense and spectular defensive mode, which really showed against Ghana. The US will be out of the cup, just like Poland and Costa Rica. Let it be known, I also believe that this will be the US's worst performance since 1990.
Czech Republic versus Ghana: Czech Republic - Though this is a tough call, I do believe Ghana lacks a good offense, though having a solid defense. I believe the Czechs will be able to get at least one goal against Ghana. Let it be warned, Ghana plays very rough and will do anything to stay in the Cup.
Portugal versus Iran: Portugal - Hands down! Portugal will definitely be able to score against the fledging Iranian team. Iran is missing a key player or two I believe to injury.
