3pm: Canada v Morocco
TV: BBC Two, RTE, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website
I think the Canadians will be great at the next World Cup, this experience will have done them the world of good. Going forward they are so exciting. Morocco have been good and I think a Draw might be enough for them to progress so I’m going to go 1-1.
3pm: Croatia v Belgium
TV: BBC One, RTE, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Website
This is a big game and I’ve been impressed by Croatia. I like the way they set up and they’ve arguably got the best midfield in the competition. I’ll go for Croatia to Win 2-0 and that means Belgium are heading home already. The Belgians are old, they’re struggling, they’re trying to protect the defence and they can’t get up the pitch. I think, looking at Kevin De Bruyne’s body language, he wants to go home.
7pm: Costa Rica v Germany
TV: ITV, STV, RTE, ITVX and STV Player
Right off the bat I’ll go for Germany to Win this 2-0. It’s Germany, it’s what they do. They had a decent performance against the Spanish and more often than not when they’re in these positions they find a way, so I fancy them to win and to go through.
7pm: Japan v Spain
TV: ITV, STV, RTE, ITVX and STV Player
I think the Spanish will win this 2-0. I like watching Japan because they play with urgency but I just thought in terms of creativity they haven’t quite got someone in midfield who will organise everything, put their foot on it and make them look like a team.
