Round of 16-Day 2:
Netherlands v Mexico (Sunday, June 29)
The Netherlands are now up against mighty Mexicans. They have certainly answered their critics after winning the group and thrashing defending champions Spain. The United striker, RVP, is well-rested after suspension in the Chile game in which Oranje registered an impressive victory, whilst Arjen Robben has arguably been the player of the tournament till now for me.
Mexico have also entered Knockouts, allowing only 1 shot on target by Cameroon, drawing 0-0 with Brazil and then thrashing Croatia 3-1 in the group stage. However they need to create more opportunities, if they want beat the runner-up of last edition of the World Cup.
Netherlands on the other hand, need to be patient, in order to register a win against the Olympic Champions.
My Prediction: Netherlands 3-1 Mexico
Costa Rica v Greece(Sunday, June 29)
Greece and Costa Rica were both outside bets to make it through to the Round of 16. But with their impressive display of football, one of them will now be going into the Quarter Finals to face Holland or Mexico next Saturday in Salvador. But for the Greeks, it’s a tough test ahead.
Costa Rica have been impressive, keeping clean sheets in their last two group games. Greece squeezed into the knockout phase for the first time in their history after a last-gasp Georgios Samaras penalty in a match against Ivory Coast last week. But I guess, Costa Rica may be too big of a challenge for the Greeks.
Prediction: Costa Rica 2-1 Greece
