England vs Ecuador
Not sure how teams coming off 3-0 defeats play next time out in the World Cup, but i’m pretty sure it’s not good…England in a walk here…this should be pretty easy, England can outplay them, outrun them, have better quality players, and more depth…don’t see anyway Ecuador can stop Lampard and Gerrard from taking control on the field…too easy
Portugal vs Holland
This looks like it’s gonna be a great game, both teams can score and have some talented players
I will take Portugal in here, but it will be tough, these are 2 of the big boys going head to head
I like the way Portugal is coming into this game, coach Scolari, who won the last World Cup with Brazil has this team in good position for a big run
Portugal also has a good record all time against the Dutch, losing only once in 9 games, a 1-0 loss in Holland, and outscoring the Dutch 11-5 in those games
I look for Cristiano Ronaldo to come up huge in here, and Figo, Deco, Pauletta, will bring their game…on the other side, Robben looks good as always, but Van Nistelrooj looks like he’s struggling a bit
A lot of good players on both teams who can make the difference between winning and losing, but i gotta go with Portugal in a close one here, just because they look a little bit better…yeah, i got them at 30-1…just took it today actually…if they get by Holland, watch out England…they will take you out again, for the 4th time in a row…Euro 2004, Euro 2000, WC1986, last 3 times Portugal and England met…Portugal won all 3 of those games…this Portugal team is a contender
