Quarterfinals Predictions |
- A repeat of the 1998 world cup final is on the card
with the no. 1 and no. 2 team in the current FIFA World Ranking
trying to eliminate one another.
- My instinct tells me Brazil will avenge their
humiliating defeat four years ago to detrone France as the world cup holder despite France
being the more superior team technically.
- Ronaldo may want to prove a point in this match up that
if he was fit in the 1998 final, Brazil would have won a record fifth world cup.
Prediction: Brazil (Winner Q1) |
- Japan already made history by being the second Asian
team to qualify for a quarterfinal.
- Can they break the record by becoming the first team
from Asia to enter the last four? All Asians will be behind them but they might have run
out of steam by this stage if they were to get this far.
- England is likely to win this clash to shatter the
Japanese's impossible dream.
Prediction: England (Winner Q2) |
- Another exciting match in store should Portugal and
Spain get this far. Both are highly respectable team.
- This match could be anyone's game but Portugal should
edge out Spain if their key players remained fit, or else, the Spaniards would emerge
vistor.
Prediction: Portugal (Winner Q3) |
- Unfortunately, while the other five previous world cup
winners will be meeting each other in the upper half of the draw, Germany and Italy are
likely to clash in the quarterfinal.
- Another hard match to predict but a toss of the coin
shows Italy will win.
Prediction: Italy (Winner Q4) |
