Cape Verde is impressive
Still I need Argentina to win in the next 5 minutes for my bet to come thru.

My Brazilian peeps will be thrilled if Argentina gets dispatched by Cabo Verde.
This could open up this quadrant in the bracket.
If Argentina loses, Colombia would be the favorite to advance to the semifinals.
I wouldn't even count on Colombia playing through to the semis.
I like there chances in Mexico City Sunday.
Mexico just one of those teams that usually advances but doesn't go deep into the tourney.
As an American, I have many Mexican-American friends so they are a sentimental team for many of us.
I think Portugal in Toronto was the most electric I've seen in Toronto over the 6 matches.

Haha, it's Friday night and I'm heading down right now to drink with the Colombian peeps since they just released some more FREE tickets.
Round of 16 predictions:
Canada vs Morocco - Allez Les Rouges! It's been a successful World Cup so far for Canada: first draw, first win, first hat-trick by Jonathon David, most goals scored in 1 match by a CONCACAF team at a World Cup, and Eustaquio's GOLAZO in stoppage time. I can see Canada putting up a solid fight, but it won't be enough; Morocco squeaks out a win. I hope I'm wrong.
Paraguay vs France - France is saying thanks for beating Germany and making it easier for us; another practice drill for France. France 4-0.
Portugal vs Spain - This will be a close one, probably extra time or PK. Spain will squeak out a win.
USA vs Belgium - At times, Belgium looks sleepy; the US can catch them asleep, take an early lead, and hang on to it. I pick the USA to win on home turf.
Brazil vs Norway - Can Brazil's defence stop Haaland? Can Brazil outscore Norway? Norway has holes in their defence that Brazil can exploit. I take Brazil on PKs.
Mexico vs England - This one is played in Mexico, and Mexico has only lost twice at Azteca Stadium in their entire history, a huge advantage for Mexico. The fans will be camped outside England's hotel, making noise and lighting fireworks all night to disrupt English players' sleep. I hope Harry Kane gets knighted and crowned. But I'm going to pick Mexico.
Argentina vs Egypt - Argentina, just when you think they can be beaten, they got a scare from Cabo Verde; somehow Argentina find a way to win.
Switzerland vs Colombia - Switzerland might benefit from not having to travel and an extra day of rest; this is a close one, I pick Colombia to squeak out a win.
Canada vs Morocco - Allez Les Rouges!

There is logic in all your picks, but I believe you have chosen the favourite in all 8 matches. I just think it’s likely there will be at least one upset. Let’s hope it’s Canada over Morocco.

You are taking advantage of this WC, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you are young enough, the WC may return to North America in 12 years (2038), fingers crossed Canada makes a bid to be a co-host with the USA and Mexico.
That's the upset I'm hoping for. There's only 1 upset so far, and that's Paraguay. I picked Mexico who are underdogs.
