I'm waking up early to see the Dutch play my Danish squad. Being of Danish heritage, and the fact that i'm going to study abroad in Denmark next semester, I am biased towards them. I really want to see them do well in this tournament. However, I think that the Netherlands have a really great team and it's going to be a tough to beat them. I'm predicting a draw, possibly 1-1?
Japan and Cameroon is another interesting match-up. Cameroon is a very strong team, but I think they are somewhat overrated. I think Japan can play very well and can give Cameroon some trouble, so again I'm going to call a 1-1 draw.
Finally, Italy (another nation of my ancestors) vs. Paraguay. While many think that all of the Spanish-speaking teams are amazing, Paraguay is probably the exception. The defending champion Italians should have no problem in this match, and I predict a 2-0 victory.
