My ROUND OF 16 Picks
Brazil
Spain
Both teams are favourites but judging the squad's quality and depth. hot climate and the grass will favour the hosts but Spain would win it.
Colombia
Italy
The Italians have a really tough test with Colombia, but ultimately advance 1-0 in a goal by Mario Balotelli in Extra Time.
France
Bosnia-Herzegovina
France to fully throttle Bosnia. Not bad for debutants to reach this far.
Germany
Russia
The Germans will trash Russia with probably with 3-nil goals.
Chile
Mexico
An exciting match but will give my trust to Chile because they just can.
Uruguay
Japan
Suarez leading his team with a double.
Argentina
Switzerland
The Swiss' defence could challenge Argentina. Nil deadlock on the first half and a late winner goal from Aguero. (sorry Messi fans)
Belgium
Portugal
Seeing Belgium to progress into the quarterfinals (towering Courtois, lukaku and Hazard in their promising squad) against C. Ronaldo's return to full fitness still in doubt.
These are solely my predictions and hopefully, these 16 teams will go through the group stages.
