Netherlands vs. Slovakia
10:00am - ESPN
Moses Mabhida Stadium - Durban, South Africa
Winner: Netherlands
Slovakia is riding high after knocking off defending champion Italy to get to the knockout round. The Netherlands picked up wins in all three of their group stage matches but have yet to play their best, and can look forward to the return of winger Arjen Robben.
Brazil vs. Chile
2:30pm - ESPN
Ellis Park - Johannesburg, South Africa
Winner: Brazil
Earlier in the tournament, Brazil coach Dunga referred to Portugal as "Brazil's B team," due to similarities in playing style, culture, language and the fact that Portugal isn't as good as Brazil. However, Chile has showed more Brazil-ness than Portugal and could give Brazil more trouble than Portugal did. However, Brazil has enough good players to form a B, C, and perhaps even D team that could still make a run in the World Cup and that will help them get the win.
