Go ahead and underestimate our Azteca brothers at your own peril. I see an upset here. Defensively solid in front of one of the two best keepers in the tournament, they're more than capable of disrupting the Orange Machine and advance. I think their team defense is strong enough to handle both Robben and Van Persie.
Los Ticos are a strong side playing wonderfully attractive and poised soccer, and I don't see them having a particularly hard time beating Greece. The Greeks don't have the quality to stop someone the class of Campbell and must once again rely on the combination of luck and embellishment to advance into the quarterfinals. They won't.
