Reply #4: My predictions for the Round of 16:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

Uruguay vs. South Korea
Leaning Uruguay, but it's going to be tricky.

USA vs. Ghana
Given African teams' eternal tendency to fuck up at the worst times, and the heroin-like buzz the USA is on, it should be an easy USA win.

Germany vs. England
I don't want it to happen, but I think England is finding their game, whereas Germany is losing theirs. Leaning England.

Argentina vs. Mexico
Argentina will win, but Mexico is going to force them to earn it. I foresee extra time.

Netherlands vs. Slovakia
The Slovaks already did their Heroic Deed for this cup. Easy Dutch win.

Brazil vs. Chile
If Brazil loses this one, I'm going to paint myself purple, put on a Carmen Miranda hat, and dance naked in the middle of the street.

Paraguay vs. Japan
Japan has the momentum and, believe it or not, the talent. Leaning Japan.

Spain vs. Portugal
Complete, total, absolute, utter toss-up. I foresee extra time AND penalty kicks.
