This day holds the promise of some very good matchups.

Switzerland - Cameroon

The Swiss hold the distinction of knocking France out of the Euros last year, so they’re no slouch. Cameroon is always an exciting group that play hard. As far as talent, the Swiss have more recognizable names. But when it comes to Cameroon, that’s not always enough.


Uruguay - South Korea

Uruguay is always a tough South American side. South Korea is a team of fighters lead by Son Heung-min (Tottenham). This could be a really great game! Highly recommend watching this one.


Portugal - Ghana

Cristiano Ronaldo brings his talent and his personal baggage with him, along with a very talented Portugal team. In fact, if he wasn’t on the team, they would still be very talented and might even be better since they wouldn’t have to center everything around him, as least in my opinion. Ghana has some international talent, but not on par with Portugal.


Brazil - Serbia

Brazil is the favorite to win the WC, and there’s every reason they should. Their defense is suspect, but they more than make up for it in their midfield and forwards. Serbia also has a very talented team with most of their top players in either the Spanish or Italian premier leagues. Both teams should make the knockout stage, so this is an early matchup of what should be two of the top 16 teams. A must-see game.
