We expect some great matches for this quarterfinals in the group "A" we got France vs Uruguay and Brazil vs Belgium, both matches looking like the could be their own final at a world cup with every team in a really good moment. While in group "B" we got Sweden vs England and Russia vs Croatia, in this group we are seeing names that most people didnt expect and even though Russia or Sweden are facing strong opponents that doesnt mean they cant win, they are here for a reason and its not just luck.
Analysis - France vs Uruguay:
France:
They are the favorite to win this match, showing a great strenght againts Argentina they never lost they cool and always kept their head in the game looking for more and showing signs of a champion. Not giving up.
Player to watch: Mbappé, he is the young star, the golden boy never fails to amaze us with his skills in the field, while losing 1-2 we would expect that then young boy of 19 years old would show some signs of desperation but no, he show maturity and kept the game going eventually managing to score two goals giving France the victory.
Absences: Matuidi - Yellow cards are making him miss this game as key player we are going see how the team is going to manage without him since he is a play maker, always looking the hiddens holes in the wall that is the defence.
Uruguay:
A solid team with cavani, a possible disaster without him, Uruguay got one of the best header game so any fault or corner converts into an half goal but against a team like france they need their something special and that is something that Cavani had, Luis Suarez has fail to show why he is one of the best strikers in the world and he has the weight on his shoulders to carry this game but, can he do it?
Player to watch: Luis Suarez, like i said he is the hope for Uruguay, if they win it is going to be because and individual play by him, even though he hasnt show any of his potential this world cup he could just go and kill it, he has the talent for it.
Absence: Cavani - He is not at his 100%, probably going to be on the bench and they are only going to use it if the game is in need for even an injured Cavani, but he will not be the starter and thats something thats going to weight heavy on the Urugay national team.
Odds 70-30 for france, possible score France 3-1 Uruguay
Analisys - Brazil vs Belgium
Brazil: After a solid game against Mexico, we can see that Brazil is one of the strongest teams in this world cup and a scary rival, with the pair of Neymar and Coutinho its really scary what they can do to any defence, in addition to this they just got back Marcelo to patch the hole in the defence and put more fuel in the potential of the lateral attack.
Player to watch: Coutinho, a really solid player that always shows why he is a future star, what i like the most about him is that hes consistent in his way of playing if Brazil is playing bad you already know that they will depend on him.
Belgium: A strong team that probably learn a lot after the game againts Japan, while yes, they were lost before that lucky goal that got them in the score, after that goal they just show the fire they got in their eyes, that desire to win and they did in like 20 mins they score 3 goals and won the game, they got the potential to do that. Their header game is just best in this world cup and its an absolutely danger to any defence, not to mention the state of hazard just being a key player to this team and lukaku always showing the strenght of a good striker just his presence is necessary in this game.
Player to watch: Hazard, he just carried last game in the sense of keeping it cool and looking for spaces, he doesnt play, he creates the game that Belgium plays.
Odds 60-40 for brazil, possible score 1-0, i can see this game being decided in the extended time since thats when the defence is going to go crazy and players like neymar or lukaku will take advantage of that.
