I’m not good with my picks, they are often guesses but the Dutch will win, they will win it in 90 minutes. The only thing Mexico has going for them really is a lot of support in the stadium. In that one game I watched, they just had tons of travelling fans in the stadium.

Switzerland, that’s a real pick out of left-field for me, well,

The Swiss were routed by France, so they took out some of their less effective defenders. They faced Argentina in 2012 and lost, Messi scoring a hat-trick. Switzerland has a good coach. So if the Swiss can cover up the holes in their defense, they should be able to keep up with Argentina. Switzerland certainly have scored a number of goals.

So, I think it would be a fine stage for an upset. It’s probably a bit perturbing that it’s largely the Messi fanboys building up Argentina. Real country support I don’t mind at all.

Swiss need to plug up the holes on defense to win.

Greeks need to play like the 300 to win this or any more games in this tournament. They are good guys and finished ahead of Ivory Coast and Japan. Good teams.
