Uruguay to advance +185 to bet 1 unit
Uruguay +0.5 (-116) to win 1 unit
The problem of course is that Cavani looks to be out tomorrow, but on the flip side Uruguay still has Saurez. I think that people are overplaying a big France win against an Argentina team that looked terrible in the group stage, and looked completely lost on defense against France. France looked disjointed in the group stage and in the friendly prior to the tournament, and I think that a terrible Argentina team made them look a lot better then they are. Uruguay has a strong defense, one that plays together all year long in Giminez and Godin. A duo like that is invaluable in a tournament where most teams have very little experience playing together. I doubted Uruguay's decision to play one friendly in the run up to the World Cup, but I now think it's the right move as they are getting in the groove at the perfect time.
Brazil +116 to bet 1 unit
Brazil to advance -165 to win 1 unit
We all know that Lukaku is a flat track bully, and I can already imagine how we are going to be asking ourselves, "what happened to Lukaku in that game?". I think the fact that Japan was able to look at Belgium and see that they could get away with anything on the wings is a huge problem for Belgium. I see Brazil causing them a lot more problem then Japan did. Easy win for Brazil me thinks...
