My guesses for last 16 and QF fixtures

People on here seem very very sure that the USA is going to brush past Bosnia. They've been mediocre, but they did knock Italy out of the qualifiers and they can just play underdog.

Also, Mexico could very easily lose to Ecuador, who were pretty impressive against Germany, and who are used to playing at altitude.

As for Belgium, if we somehow manage to make it past Senegal, I'm pretty confident we beat whoever comes out of the US/Bosnia game. After that, it's over for us, bar an incredible off day for Spain/Portugal.
Apart from your last group game you’ve also been very poor this tournament. Don’t think you’ll find USA as easy as you think
 
Before the tournament started I was expecting England & France to play the final without looking at the possible matchups and final routes. My dark horse was Switzerland.

Looking at the tournament tree now, I'm not changing my stance and expecting the same. England to reach the final from their side of the tree & France from the other. And England to finally win it.

Anyone care to agree/disagree?
Portugal if play like they did against Congo and Colombia then they will lose against Croatia. I have no idea why from playing ok/good to crap/damn crap, they easily beat US and a good game against Mexico, never saw a team passing the ball back like Portugal and Vitinha against Colombia never made a pass to any attacker......Martinez effect :lol:
