Argentina - One of the favourites to go atleast till the finals. They had a very tight match against Netherlands and I thought Tevez played his heart out. Though the score line was 0-0, I dont think the match was a boring one. Messi & Tevez both have speed & skill to maneouvre around any defence.
Netherlands - They played their best match last nite, denying the Argentinians a goal. Robben their man in form was rested and they lacked those penetrative runs through the left flank. Anyways making it from this group was a tough job and so they have accomplished mission impossible 1, now lets see if they can do an MI-2!
Portugal - They are playing well, combining as a team consisting of the Figos and the Christiano Ronaldos. Their last match against Mexico, without Ronaldo and Pauleta, was a bit of a challenge for them considering the fact that the Mexicans wuuld be going for a all-out win.
Mexico - They were the strongest team from Central America. The way they strated off with a win over Iran, I thought they might give a fight to Portugal. But they will go in as the second best team from this group. Tough game ahead
Argentina vs Mexico verdict Argentina
No doubts on this. The score line should be 3-1 or 2-1 in favour of the Argentinians
Netherlands vs Portugal
This should be a very interesting match and I will give the benefit of doubt to Netherlands

Hey I'm not so sure Argies will go till the finals so easily, coz if they win today (as they should) against Mexico, they are up against Germany next! What a tragedy...these are probably the best two teams this WC and they'll play in the quarters.
On the other matches - ya Netherlands vs Portugal will be good but the Dutch should win, think England, Italy and Brazil will win without too much trouble. Spain vs France should be interesting - i hope France at least puts up a good fight.
My money is on a Argentina vs Brazil final...Argies have looked the best team so far and Brazil seem to be picking up the tempo just at the right time.
