I wonder who's gonna make the surprise in the knockouts. No outcome will be surprising in Portugal-Uruguay, France-Argentina, Sweden-Switzerland and (in case Colombia makes it) in Colombia-England/Belgium. This leaves us with 4 matches where an upset can happen.
Russia-Spain, Denmark-Croatia, Mexico-Brasil and Senegal/Japan-ENG/BEL.
I don't see Senegal or Japan beating ENG/BEL. I also believe that Brasil will find a way to get past Mexico. This leaves the Europeans. Russia because they are hosts and Denmark because Croatia are Balkan.

Croatia have the upper hand though, because Belgium is winning purely on talent. There's no real gameplan and honestly the mentality of some of our players is poor. Croatia on the other hand is a machine.
So yeah, as odd as it sounds, based on the games we've seen, I think Croatia are the favorites.
