There will be a ton of pressure on Brazil in this match. Chile will come out pressing as per usual and that may really fluster Brazil in this one. However, Chile are a highly unpredictable team with their style and in this match I see great value in a different market. Brazil will most likely receive better fortune in terms of calls and a Chile team that presses and will likely press harder than normal is susceptible to bookings.

Suarez bit Chiellini... Anyways, this one should be interesting. Columbia in my eyes have proven to be a contender and Uruguay though they have beaten better teams have not impressed me very much. Maybe I am greatly underestimating Uruguay, but I think they lose this one a lot of the time and without too much trouble...

Game of the tournament potential. Two teams that had major question marks above their heads entering the tournament, but all questions have been answered. Both of these teams are legitimate contenders in my opinion because this will be a harder game than the one in the quarterfinals against Costa Rica or Greece, meaning the semi-finals is likely for this winner. Salcido fills in at the back for Mexico, Fer is out for the Netherlands and RVP returns. Both sides like to keep the ball and therefore the midfield battle will be key in determining the matches winner. Both midfields are class, but the Netherlands offer a bit more I think. Defensively Mexico have been the better side and I think the advantage in net is significant for them as well. RVP and Robben are excellent in link up play and are more well-rounded then Mexico's forwards, but Peralta is in great form nonetheless. Mexico are brimming with confidence and for whatever reason I see the Netherlands potentially struggling to match the motivated Mexicans. Expecting a close match, 2 or 3-1 either way and I lean towards the Mexicans for the small upset.

The Greeks are as happy as ever. Nearly eliminated but for a Samaras penalty and now a round of 16 match with Costa Ricans. Costa Rica, however, are brimming with confidence and will be pumped up for this one. Both teams are physical and defensively sound. Initially I leaned Greece, but am starting to think the Costa Ricans may do it. My concern is that they may lack the patience to break down Greece. In all, not much I see in this match and not enough value on the under. Neither offense is particularly good and so I will play the following:

History in the making? Germany have more talent than any team in the tournament and are firing on all cylinders. They thrashed Portugal, drew Ghana and won a controlled 1-0 match vs the courageous Americans. They know they have a real shot at this tournament and that adds pressure to them. Algeria come into this match full of happiness as well as the knowledge of a superior opponent. I believe this team will play with real purpose. They will attack swiftly but they can also retain possession. I expect a lot of close chances, not necessarily goals so I will avoid the total.

BTTS (+104)
Algeria (Advance) +600 (Think it should be +400 - +450)

I actually rather have Algeria in this one. Think they have a realistic chance because of their up-tempo style and heart. Also it is a religious time, Ramadan (unsure of spelling sorry) which will certainly motivate the players even more so against an unofficial rival.
