Round of 16 to 8

Here're the group winners and my predictions in ():
Group A: Germany & Ecuador (Poland)
Group B: England & Sweden (Paraguay)
Group C: Argentina & Netherlands
Group D: Portugal & Mexico (Iran)
Group E: Italy & Ghana (Czech Republic)
Group F: Brazil & Australia (Croatia)
Group G: France & Switzerland (Korea)
Group H: Spain & Ukraine (Tunisia)

so, my predication is 9 out of 16, just a little bit better than 50%, which is what a random pick will give you. However, except for Iran, all teams I missed is no. 3 in the group. A little comforting.

Now, my prediction of round of 16 to 8 (bold teams win):
Germany vs. Sweden
Argentina vs. Mexico
Italy vs. Australia
Ukraine vs. Switzerland
England
vs. Ecuador
Portugal vs. Netherlands
Brazil vs. Ghana
Spain vs. France

Two of them already turned out right although Mexico really played well today and gave Argentina a hard time.

Follow the same logic, my final rounds predictions at this point are here:
Quarter final:
Germany vs. Argentina
Italy vs. Ukraine
Portugal vs. England
Brazil vs. Spain

Semi-final
Germany
vs. Italy
Brazil vs. Portugal

and Germany wins all.
