You can check my other thread for how I did in round one. It would've been huge if Ghana's goalie didn't serve one on a platter for Ronaldo. Anyway, lets move on. Here are my knockout round picks.
This is the definition of chalk, but I don't feel Uruguay's midfield can deal with Colombia's speed. Also, Uruguay has only one non PK goalie in 3 games that wasn't from Suarez and it was off his back on a corner. Colombia will cruise, but because I'm risking big units I will play it safe and avoid a regulation bet.
Colombia/Argentina/Brazil all to qualify +140 5 units
$500 to win $700
Same rational as above but I'm adding Brazil. I don't see the host nation losing this early. Chile will provide a test, but I could see the ref's helping Brazil if it comes down to it. I expect a close fought Brazilian victory.
Colombia (regulation) Brazil (to qualify) 2 units +170
$200 to win $340
Colombia/Brazil/Argentina all in regulation 1 unit + 390

We've seen a ton of close games so far and I'm expecting that trend to reverse tonight. I think France and Germany should cruise, thus giving us Belgium tomorrow at +277. I like the value, also I think USA has played one good half (2nd half against Portugal) out of 6 so far. So although I have not been overly impressed with Belgium, I like them to beat USA in regulation. Good luck to those who tail!

I've got at least 3 plays lined up for the quarterfinals (hint: its not gonna be all chalk this time) and I don't expect to be laying juice. The dogs will bite this round, stay tuned ;) I will post a few plays tomorrow.

France (to qualify) over Germany +125 (there was a big move on France on some sites, but I got it at +125) 5 units
$500 to win 625
Colombia (to qualify) over Brazil +200 2 units
$200 to win $400
Controversially pick. This is a toss up game to me so I will take the value with Colombia. Brazil has only looked good vs Cameroon and Cameroon has supposedly had 7 players on the take. I like this play. I think the winner of this game will win the tournament.
Belgium ( to qualify) over Argentina +162 2 units
$200 to win $324
You guys may be surprised. I have been betting Argentina the whole tournament but to be honest I haven't been impressed. They are squeaking out wins, and that's to be expected. But outside of Messi and Di Maria this team has nothing. I expect them to go down this weekend or lose to Holland in the next game. I may add to this game and will keep you guys posted. I'm also leaning toward over 2.5 on the total. Good luck

well that round was a disaster. Still up over 20 units though. I lean Germany here but I'm not betting against Brazil again. The crowd is too much and the refs are letting them play too physical. I also think Brazil is gonna play it real close to the vest, so under 2.5 is a great bet. But at -188 there's too much juice for me. I will have a play for tomorrows game. Bol
