World Cup Game Previews and Picks for June 16

Portugal vs. Germany

A battle between the group heavyweights in wwhich the winner most liklely will be crowned the group winner. A supposedly "healthy" Christiano Ronaldo enters this game with a knock to his knee which may see his play limited but likely he will be nearly 100%.  Of course when the side you are playing is full of top flight players it is difficult for one to make a certain difference for the other team.  Germany are flat loaded at every position and I have a likely "easy" win of course nothign is easy and it could go either way.  I see the final 3-1 Germany.

Iran vs. Nigeria

A battle between an African side that usually performs well in World Cups and a side that should be the joke of the tournament sans Australia. I cant see how Iran keeps this close but of course African team have a tendency to start slow and if Nigeria is caught off guard early with a goal against this game could be interesting.  I dont see that happening and have the final 2-0 Nigeria.

USA vs. Ghana

Ah the two meet once again.  This should come as no shock it seems FIFA finds a way for it to happen.  I will be none surprised with any of the three outcomes as Ghana are suspect but ahve a great attacka nd the US is questionable as to how they will play with how young they are from top to bottom.  I see this game going to the Africans cause I just dont trust the US team at this point and think they are a Cup away from being an interesting side.  I have it 2-1 Ghana with their attack from Gyan.
