Going full on conservative now. I got pretty much fucked in the first round because I thought the weaker teams would actually do something.

Argentina 2-1 Belgium
Netherlands 2-1 Costa Rica

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I think the same.

This game just got allot harder for Germany.

I can't imagine how much passion and support the crowd will give now.

Germany has experience in dealing with crowds that are against them. They are pretty much the only team in the world that managed to play road games at home (everytime they play against Turkey).

I understand, I've watched Germany vs Turkey games in the past.

But this is a World Cup and in Brazil.

Brazil in Brazil always finds a way to pull out results for years and years now.

39 years to be exact, not a single defeat in qualifiers or competive games against the likes of Argentina.

However this is a pretty average brazil side compared to previous.

Germany have a good chance no doubt.

D*mn. Again after a day off from the world cup I forget about predicting here. This way I'll never win!

At least I once predicted both Germany and Brazil would win, so maybe I'm in the clear after all. Who knows, really. So today I won't forget, largely due to the fact my own beautiful country takes the field again. And our dear neighbors will as well. Unfortunately, I don't think the result will be a Benelux-derby, which of course I would like and I really hope for, but at least, looking at how our opponent played in their round-of-16 match, we ourselves should be able to advance.

Netherlands 3-0 Costa Rica
Argentina 1*-1 Belgium

*Argentina wins on penalties.
