Espn will be covering 3 matches,Netherlands Vs Serbia&Monterago,Mexico Vs Iran,Portugal Vs Angola.
Netherlands Vs Serbia&Monterago,9pm,:
Netherlands are an offensive minded and have plenty of choices with Ruud Van Nistelrooy a.k.a Horseface,Dirk Kuyt the striker many EPL clubs are chasing,Arjen Robben a.k.a The hollywood number 1 actor,Van Persie the young Arsenal foward etc.
However their defence is very vulnerable as it is very weak .
Serbia&Monterago is a country about to spilt,if i did not remember wrongly,but they have a good striker in Mateja Kezman.I think they are called Yugoslavia in the past and are VERY VERY good in World Cups.They are likely to use counter-attacks when Netherlands break foward.
Predictions:The Serbians may cause an upset,1-1.
Mexico Vs Iran,12am,:
The Mexicans are the only ones to beat the mighty world champions,Brazil this year and are very skillful players.The have great stamina and pace like any other South American side but may not be used to Germany as they may not used to the high altitute above sea level in Mexico like Ecuador.
Iran is an Asian powerhouse with big stars although i have never watched Iran matches.They booked their spot in this World Cup easily as the champions of Asia (Correct me if im wrong).
Predictions:Mexico's skills and trickery may be too much for the big and burly Iranians,2-0.
Portugal Vs Angola,3am,:
Portugal are a VERY good side,balanced in attack and defence,and have beaten England in the EURO2004 recently.They are good in midfield with players like Deco,a Brazil-born player,and their inspirational captain Luis Figo.They have great players also like Cristiano Ronaldo,whom is one of the most skillful player in Europe and the EPL.Pauleta,their deadly marksmen is also one of the main man of getting goals.They also have Simao Simbrosa who is wanted by Liverpool.
Angola is a World Cup debutant from Africa and has shocked everyone by qualifying in this World Cup.They have the their star striker,Akwa,who is a good finisher and they have also Mendoza,their holding midfielder who is looking foward to break down any Portugeuese threat.
Prediction:Portugal proves to be too strong for lowly Angola.Angola may need to calm their nerves down as they have absolutely no experience at all,4-0.
