Incredible game between the U.S and Slovenia today. It was one of the most exciting of the tournament so far, and hopefully there will be more excitement to come as teams get a clearer picture of what they need to do to stay alive in the tournament and go for wins instead of draws. Now on to some more predictions that will probably be wrong.
Netherlands vs. Japan
7:30am - ESPN, Univision
Winner: Netherlands
More attacking talent and depth gives the Netherlands the edge in this one. Eljero Elia, a Dutch winger, is an exciting young player to watch and could make a difference in this match, whether he starts or comes off the bench.
Ghana vs. Australia
10:00am - ESPN, Univision
Winner: Ghana
Ghana is feeling good coming off a win in their first match against Serbia, while Australia needs a win after getting spanked by Germany. The Germans' loss to Serbia means this group is wide open; a win for Ghana puts them in great shape to advance, while a win for the Aussies means they're still alive heading into their final match. We'll give the nod to Ghana in this one, as Australia's defense has been almost non-existent in their last two matches (exhibition vs. U.S. and 1st round vs. Germany).
Cameroon vs. Denmark
2:30pm - ABC, Univision
Winner: Denmark
Cameroon was poor in their opening loss to Japan, while Denmark was slightly better in their opening loss to the Netherlands. Cameroon lacked cohesion against Japan, and there are rumors of discontent in their squad and unhappiness with the head coach. Cameroon may have the more talented players, but Denmark is playing better as a team and will get the win.
