Mexico v France
Both sides drew their opening matches on June 11, and both were favoured in those matches. They will be looking for redemption following their disappointing performances. Mexico should be better, and you never know what you're going to get from France. France need to be better going forward, and Mexico can't let the French in behind like they did with South Africa. I think France will want it more, as they attempt to match what they did four years ago. Predictions: Mexico 0.2 France
Argentina v South Korea
Argentina were one of the most impressive sides of the tournament in the first round, and if they could improve their finishing, then they could very well be finalists or even champions. South Korea were good v Greece, but we don't know how good Greece even is. If Messi can do what he did to Nigeria, then there is a very good chance that Argentina blow out the Koreans. Park Ji-Sung needs to play well if they are to have a chance. But I think unless Argentina really doesn't play well, and South Korea play incredibly, it is Argentina's match. I predict: Argentina 2.0 South Korea
Greece v Nigeria
Nigeria were decent v Argentina, but maybe they could be even better. Greece were very poor v South Korea, and they need to really improve their form if they want any chance to progress to the Round of 16 out of Group B. Greece must take care of the ball, and not leave any Nigerian players isolated. Nigeria need to use their speed advantage that they will have, and most importantly, finish the chances. My prediction: Greece 0.1 Nigeria
