Netherlands - USA

this will undoubtedly be a great game that in my opinion the USA can win this game, I say this because the Netherlands is inconsistent, they had difficulties in winning the equator, and the USA are a very strong team that has good defense and good attack , if the netherlands make the same mistakes as in past games, then they will lose in this game, so I prefer not to bet on this game

Argentina - Australia

honestly why do you have this odd?

Argentina = @1.25
Australia = @14.00

they are underestimating autralia a lot, they managed to pass to another stage in a group that nobody could imagine that they would be able to pass, argentina are unstable, I hope that at least in this game they play well and manage to win the game

Again upset can happen in the match between Argentina and Australia, we never know. How about taking a small amount on bet on Australia and we get 14.0 odds. That will be a big return but then the chances of an upset are also slim.

Anyways the first match of the round of 16 is about to start and currently, national anthems of USA and Netherlands is in progress. Remember starting from today, no match can be ended in a draw and we will have plenty shootouts in case there is no result in the regular and extra time.

The line-up for the Netherlands Vs USA match has been shown, we can see that both teams prepared their best squads to compete in this match. I was quite surprised to see Pulisic's presence in the line-up, as I recall he was injured during their game against Iran. Was it a minor injury that allowed him to compete today? What do you think? can the USA win over the Netherlands?.

Ghana head coach, Otto Addo have resigned following their big defeats against Uruguay 2 nil. Although the both teams failed to qualify for the knockout stages but it was one of the crucial game yesterday. We witnessed more actions from Uruguay as they played with seriousness and Ghana captain, Ayew missed the penalty that would have put Ghana infront. Let's say the Ghana penalty curse against Uruguay continue as the second goal was caused by Ayew which led to goal. It's very embarrassing to see the Ayew brothers substituted after halftime. But I give my credits to Kudus who did his best in the game, it's just that it's wasn't his lucky day on the pitch

I don't think that there really is a reason why people would be disappointed in the performance of Otto Addo. I mean they were in a group with Portugal and Uruguay so i don't think that a lot of people expected them to go through to the knockout stage of the tournament. Still they had a big chance to advance and as you already said they even had the chance to go in front in the match against Uruguay but Ayew simply missed that penalty, so that is definitely not the fault of the coach. Maybe they made an agreement before the tournament started that he would resign if they would not make it into the knockout stage or something.

I agree that the Netherlands is a slight favorite in this match, but I have to admit that they haven't impressed me so far.
In the group stage of the competition, they were very lucky, especially in the match against Senegal, and they didn't play well.
They were very lucky in the draw for the world championship and got the easiest group in this world championship, and they are also lucky with the first opponent in the knockout phase of the competition.
However, sooner or later they will have to show some quality if they want to achieve a result at this world championship.
Their real show started in the round of 16. Not only the Netherlands, but 16 teams that qualified from the group stage. The Dutch defense in the 3 matches that have been played doesn't look like there is any hard work at all. For me Van Dijk has to have the courage to throw himself down when it is necessary to do so.

Compared to other teams, the Netherlands at the World Cup was not a star-studded team like other teams. Apart from being in a relatively easy group, the Netherlands was slowly able to move forward with certainty even though the fans disappointed against Ecuador.

Against the USA, which will soon kick off, I'm sure the Netherlands will win and advance to the next round. Gakpo will be a player that will be targeted by USA defenders.

Portugal getting defeated by South Korea!
Portugal dominated the game but immensely effective Japanese defense did not allow a second goal. To some extent I felt that they deliberately were hitting the ball at low intensity. The extra time goal by the South Korea was unexpected both by viewers like me and I am sure by the Portugese team & fans.

Brazil getting defeated by Cameroon!
If this is the way Brazil wants to play in this world cup then I think they won't even be in the finals. Cameroon were struggling throughout the match but due to brazilian defence incompetence they were able to score a goal. I am sure Brazil underestimated and were over confident.
if we look at the match last night Portugal and Brazil have confirmed that they have definitely qualified for the group to the knockout round, so they didn't really play seriously as an example Brazil lost to Cameroon at least provided entertainment for Cameroon even though they didn't qualify for the group

We did not expect the group stage to be so wild. We saw upsets, heartbreak, and heroic performances. This is the best World Cup ever. There is no way you can predict the winner, all the teams are equal on the field, and the scenario can change within minutes. In predicting the best favorite to win the world cup, I think we are having a very difficult time this year.
So far the World Cup has impressed a lot of people with what goes on in the matches. Participating countries show a lot of surprises that are very hard to miss. It is difficult to predict the match even though the match brought together 2 countries that have very different qualities.
In the course of the match, we saw many dramas, including the VAR technology which invited many pros and cons among the audience. But the VAR decision is an absolute decision that is very difficult to predict.

But to say that this is the best World Cup I can't say yet, because until now the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is still stuck in my mind.

Too many upsets in a single world cup that is for sure. By the way both Portugal and Brazil have already qualified for the super 16. It was just a game they had to play which does not mean that they might face issues in upcoming games. It was more like a practice match for them and they did try different approach which unfortunately benefitted the opposite team. Nothing too serious here for me and most of the fans.

Belgium was one of the favorites to become the champions of this year's World Cup. But to everyone's surprise, they were eliminated in the first round. Big teams like Germany and Denmark have also returned home in the first round. Teams such as Brazil, Portugal, and Argentina have also lost against relatively minor teams Cameroon, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea. And so we should be very careful to make predictions or bet on any match in this World Cup. It is impossible to predict which team will be the champions in this World Cup.

Did Spain, Brazil and Portugal lose on purpose to reduce the burden in the knockout stages of the Qatar World Cup championship? Getting Uruguay and Germany home is more important than chasing victory in a game that is already confirmed.
Yes, this is somewhat logical in my opinion, after all they have stated that they will definitely qualify for the next match. And perhaps they are intent on securing their place from getting into the squad they feared early in the play-offs.

And that proved Brazil against Korea, Spain against Morocco and Portugal against Switzerland.
Spain, Portugal and Brazil lost because their opponents outshined  them, they did not lose on purpose. Regardless they had already qualified for the round of 16. They didn't take those matches too serious. They just play to complete their game.   

Today, Netherland vs USA and Argentina vs Australia for the first game of the round of 16. I predict USA and Argentina to win today's match.

I think the Netherlands will outperform the United States in the knockout round this time, Louis Van Gaal will pay a lot of attention to the game this time, considering that two wins and a draw in qualifying have shown them to be strong while the United States only won one and drew 2 in the qualifying round, I'm not sure America can win against Netherlands world cup this time.
But maybe Gregg Berhalter will not stay silent preparing his children to bring back the Dutch troops.
I don't deny that anything can happen on the field but I think this match will be very tough for America.

Uniquely, the 3 countries that passed earlier lost their last match. France lost to Tunisia, Portugal lost to South Korea and finally Brazil also lost to Cameroon. And of the 2 countries that lost they lost dramatically because the opposing team scored a goal in 90+ minutes. Maybe this is something that is natural because losing doesn't matter because they have pocketed 1 ticket to play in Round Of 16.
This is what is more awaited, where the big countries will face each other. I feel like the World Cup just started yesterday, but today we finished the group stage.

I do believe that USA has the first chance to qualify because Netherlands didn't prove anything so far in this World Cup besides having easy victories with not so important teams.
The biggest threat the United States will have in their goal will be Gakpo who has been on good form and is currently one of the highest goal scorers in this competition, If their defense can put him under lock and ensure he doesn't get enough of the ball to get creative, they can actually reduce the scoring chance for Netherlands. I believe USA can win, there is a good fighting spirit with the team that we saw on their journey to this point, the United states have my bet to win.
It is very difficult for the United States to stop the Netherlands in today match. because netherlands are an ambitious team that was doubted before but they were able to make something extraordinary in the group stage. The Netherlands front line is quite good, so I'm sure Cody Gakpo will be able to trouble the United States defense line with his actions in the match later. this is a tough match for the usa in the round of 16 because they are facing a stronger team in terms of the quality of the players but in this world cup surprises can happen but in today match I don't think that surprise will benefit the usa.

I really think that USA could surprise Netherlands today. Netherlands is a good team, but USA is playing surprisingly good in this tournament. If they continue to play like they did in the last three games, Netherlands could have problem with them. We will see. I'm certain that surprises will happen in the knockout round, especially since it's only one game that's deciding who will advance and who will go home.

On the other hand, Argentina should have no problem with Australia. Australia is good, but if Argentina plays like they are suppose to, it should be an easy win for them.

The World Cup tournament this year has been exciting as well as surprising.
Teams seem as underdogs in the competition has gone ahead and surprised so called top teams. The Netherlands is a string football nation and the match with the United States shouldn’t be a hassle for them. But we may be surprised as the US has played surprisingly well in this tournament and knocked out all their opponents to survive to this stage of the tournament. Ordinarily, the Netherlands looks good on paper but  I haven’t got a clue as to who would win.
Argentina on the other hand, looks more favorable to win the game against Australia but the match between Japan and Spain has reminded me that with football, anything is possible.

We have already seen so many unexpected results and surprises at this world championship that it is very difficult to predict what will happen next in this competition.
Who could have really expected that Germany, Belgium, Denmark or Uruguay would be eliminated already after the group stage of the competition?
Italy did not even qualify for this world championship, and Asia has  three representatives in the round of 16.
The Netherlands and Argentina may be the favorites, but very difficult matches await them, and this world championship has shown that anything is possible.
In the match between Netherlands and USA, Netherlands is definitely the favorite team today. The Netherlands team is much stronger than the USA team. However, since some incidents are happening in this World Cup, it will not be correct to think of USA as a small team. So if Netherlands play responsibly I believe they will secure victory.

I agree that the Netherlands is a slight favorite in this match, but I have to admit that they haven't impressed me so far.
In the group stage of the competition, they were very lucky, especially in the match against Senegal, and they didn't play well.
They were very lucky in the draw for the world championship and got the easiest group in this world championship, and they are also lucky with the first opponent in the knockout phase of the competition.

Today, Argentina are the absolute favourite so I don't expect any surprise in that match. I expect them to even win by at least two goals and Messi to score at the same time. But for the Netherlands - USA match, it is hard to trust anything. Netherlands are favoured maybe but their odd is not that low. I'm uncomfortable with the possibility of USA making it so I won't place a bet on Netherlands.
If I've learnt anything from this particular World Cup, it's the fact that relying on favourites no matter how strong they are isn't exactly a great decision. Argentina can definitely lose while USA can definitely win.

Personally, I reverted to live betting instead of prematch bets primarily because of these annoying issues.
Anything can happen as we saw in the World Cup match this time, including the United States making a big surprise by beating Argentina. Very difficult, indeed I admit it is very difficult to see such a big surprise. They will try their hardest and give their all. I think Argentina will dominate the game and America will try to counterattack. I wanted to see how effective the strategies the two trainers would implement.

For me there are two easy wins today both Netherlands and Argentina will take the win. Netherlands looks really good while im not satisfied with how USA plays and they got pass the group by pure luck. While Argentina will probobly destroy Australia today,they got one of the easiest matches

As Argentina had easily defeated Saudi Arabia earlier in the group stage. So they will never take Australia easy today, Argentina will play with great responsibility today and ensure victory. Lionel Messi missed the penalty in the previous match. I believe he will put up a great performance today and be able to score.
