Colombia vs. England
After a start of the final tournament as it could not have been worse, evolving nearly 90 minutes in 10 people in front of Japan and ending losing 2-1 at the debut match, Colombia rebounded on the other two matches and proved a winning team mentality. The South Americans defeated Poland's resigned footballers, 3-0, and the decisive match, against Senegal, was decided by Yerry Mina, the man who led Colombia on the first place in group H. However, a big problem could arise for Pekerman's team before the most important match in recent years against England. Injured in the duel with Senegal, James Rodriguez, one of the most important, if not, perhaps the most important player of the South Americans, may not be able to evolve for even a minute, which will enormous weights in the economy of the final result.
Given the circumstances of this game, I expect a balanced game. Although England's favorite status could be greatly increased if James Rodriguez is unavailable for this game, Gareth Southgate's team has the first chance, having the prosperity advantage, with most of the players resting in the previous match against Belgium.
However, because I notice that there are surprises, I will go with: Radamel Falcao to be caught oin ffside at least once: Odds 1.9
Sweden - Switzerland:
In the last 17 games played, Switzerland registered a single defeat, 0-2 with Portugal, in the qualifying campaign. With the high morale, thea team is now trying to match the performance in 1954. It was then the last time when they reached the quarterfinals in a World Championship.
My bet: Switzerland to go through: Odds: 1.83
