Quick note: If you've been betting based on my predictions, I have two things to say: 1). I apologize, and 2). You're a knucklehead. However, if you've been betting on the opposite of my predictions, you're loaded now and I'd like a cut of your winnings. Now, on to the picks.
Argentina vs. South Korea
7:30am - ESPN, Univision
Winner: Argentina
Tempting to pick South Korea to pull the upset in this one; they are talented, very well organized and run non-stop for 90 minutes. But Argentina has Leo Messi. They have other players too, obviously, but Messi can change a game in a split second. South Korea can play with Argentina and frustrate them with their work rate, speed and quick counterattacks, but they don't have an answer for Messi. Argentina wins 2-1.
Greece vs. Nigeria
10:00am, ESPN, Univision
Winner: Nigeria
Both teams need a win if they want to stay alive, as they each lost their opening game. Nigeria is playing better right now and Greece looked pretty weak in their first match against South Korea. Nigeria takes the three points.
France vs. Mexico
2:30pm, ESPN 2, Univision
Tie
France is in such disarray right now that they can't even make it on ESPN and have been shifted to the Deuce. Just kidding. But France is lacking leadership and offensive creativity. Mexico has good attacking players but their first match against South Africa showed they are susceptible to the counterattack. More than anything else, each team will want to get at least a point and keep their hopes of advancing alive, so this one ends in a tie and they live to fight another day.

Never pick against GRREEEECCEE!!!!!!!!! You should also be ashamed of yourself for not going to the Greek Festival.
If Greece wins the World Cup then I'll go to Athens for a real Greek festival.
