Soldato
England 2 - 0 Portugal
I think England will come good in this game. Deco will be a massive blow for Portugal not being available. However I fancy Lampard to have at least 50 shots this game and score one with the other coming from Rooney
Germany 1 - 2 Argentina (AET)
Argentina have some outstanding individuals who seem to have the nack of playing well collectively. Their only downfall could be if they Play Saviola up front. I think they need a stronger presence against Germany and a Crespo Tevez partnership could do well. I don't think Germany have as much quality as Argentina
France 1 - 0 Brazil
Both teams rarely hit the form that was expected of them in the group stages but they look to be turning that around now. I fancy an upset though in this game
Ukraine 0 - 2 Italy
I expect this to be a comfortable win for Azzuri. Defensively they look strong and very well marshalled. Buffon is looking a world class keeper and in midfield they have good players in Pirlo and Gatuso. I think they will be a bit too strong for the Ukraine. Might be a few bookings on the Italian side as one of the former golden boy of Italian Football, Shevchenko might come in for some rough treatment.
