World Cup Trivia: Round of 16 matches in Singapore timings and my prediction

World Cup 2014 Round of 16


Tonight (Today for European, American readers) there won't be any World Cup matches as the tournament enters into the 2nd stage (Best of 16). I am sure many fans will experience an empty feeling, after several days of excitement in the group stage.

Moreover, its Friday! Not being able to watch a World Cup match on a Friday night is like going to Japan but not able to eat sushi. *Gasp*

Upcoming matches to look forward to (in SG timings GMT +8)


Jun 29th (Saturday night, Sunday morning)


12am
Brazil vs Chile 
Prediction: Chile is strong, but unfortunately their opponent is Brazil. Brazil play like they are on steroids at big matches and they have home ground advantage. No chance of an upset here.

4am
Colombia vs Uruguay 
Prediction: No bites expected in this match. My pick goes to Colombia, for their overall strength.

- Definitely a must watch, its the weekend too. -



Jun 30th (Sunday night, Monday morning)


12am
Netherlands vs Mexico
Prediction: Netherlands strong showing so far gives me the confidence that their steam will last them through to the quarterfinals at least.

4am
Costa Rica vs Greece
Prediction: Dark horse vs dark horse. This will be an interesting match. Expecting a draw with Greece emerging through penalties.

- Still the weekend, can watch -


Jul 1st (Monday night, Tuesday morning)


12am
France vs Nigeria
Prediction: France will be eager to vindicate the poor showing for the past World Cup. I am optimistic that they can proceed beyond here to secure at least a position in the semifinals.

4am
Germany Vs Algeria
Prediction: Germany.

- Not the weekend, but watch it anyway - 


Jul 2nd (Tuesday night, Wednesday morning)


12am
Argentina vs Switzerland
Prediction: With Messi in his pure unstoppable form, Argentina looks set to win.

4am
Belgium vs USA
Prediction: Potential upset here, I think USA might stand a chance to win.

- Already watching previous matches, why not tonight as well? -
