What to expect from June 21 World Cup Matches

Saturday Jun, 21 2014 World Cup Matches

Argentina Vs. Iran

As obstinate as Iran's defense was against Nigeria, it is hard to see  it not breached against the mighty might of Lionel Messi and Co. The Argentines did not look so convincing against Bosnia-Herzegovina.  That match needed the mercurial skills of four-time world footballer of year , Lionel Messi, to light up. An early goal by the Argentina would see the floodgates open. Then again if the game remains scoreless at the 45 min mark, it could be anyone's game. The former is more likely to be the case.

Prediction: Argentina 3 vs. Iran 0

Germany Vs Ghana

The Germans were utterly ruthless in their first match against Portugal. Anyone expecting another free scoring repetition, might be sadly mistaken. The Ghanaians are a dogged side and will offer stiffer opposition that a Portuguese that spent majority of that match, playing with a man down. Set pieces - Germany's bread and butter of many World cups, might just be the foil to unlocked the Ghanaians, who are hoping not be the whipping boys in the Group of Death.

Prediction: Germany  3 vs. Ghana 1

Nigeria Vs Bosnia-Herzegovina

If the Super Eagles can quicken their play in their opponents' final third, they could have a chance. Their performance against Iran was very bad to say the least whereas Bosnia really gave a good account of themselves against Argentina. The Bosnia will believe that this is a game they should win. But don't count the African Champions out yet. They have a way of raising their game in the most unlikely of circumstances. The winner of this game is one with the better organization; the Bosnians have it.

Prediction: Nigeria 1 vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina 2
