W - Brasil

W - Uruguay - Caveat: Suarez appeals FIFA's initial suspension decision and the appeal serves as a stay of execution and he's allowed to play in the R16 match. Uruguay rides an 'us against the world' mentality to a victory over Colombia.

Uruguayan newspapers are already starting in on the conspiracy angle w/r/t the Suarez suspension. They blame the English!

If Suarez doesn't play I'll flip my pick to Colombia.

W - Les Bleus

W - Deutchland

W - Huis van Oranje (*) They have to win. El Tri fans are becoming more insufferable than usual. Of course they would view a Oranje win as a upset.

Note to self - Remember to pick up a small Netherlands flag to fly at work.

W - Costa Rica

W - Argentina

W - Belgium - My head says Belgium wins. Obviously my heart is USA, USA, USA!
