I see Brazil getting through on their side of the bracket, although this game upcoming with France will not be as easy as some might think. The French were able to shut down an offensive Spanish club, whose starters had all been rested in the final Group game. England/ Portugal is a toss up IMO but Brazil should handle whichever club comes through. So lets put Brazil in as Final Team #1.
Brazil vs. ??
On the other side of the bracket there are two great matchups on tap. The Italians meet an Ukranian squad who many thought would be out of the tournament by now. Italy has not been the same ever since a very physical matchup with Team USA. Ukraine has not played all that well against teams that can push the pace and make runs. (Loss to Spain 4-0) They are best in a grind it out, physical game. Many people believe the Italians like to play fast-paced soccer but I give the edge to Ukraine. This leaves us with Germany-Argentina. This game could go either way and the winner of this game should be the favorite vs Italy or Ukraine. If the German side win, you can bet that the refs will do everything in their power to ensure the home team plays in the final. So let's put winner of Argentina/Germany as Final Team #2.
Brazil vs Argentina +450
Brazil vs Germany +450
Risking $100.00 on each. Hoping for a $350.00 profit.
