The World Cup knockout stages begin on Saturday with two mouthwatering clashes. France (1998 Winners) vs. Argentina (x2 Winners) and Uruguay (x2 Winners) vs. Portugal (European Champs).

Predictions World Cup 2018 Round of 16 (June 30th-July 1st)
France 2 – 1 Argentina
Round of 16 – Saturday 11pm (Korea Time)
The first of the knockout games is a clash of giants as France take on Argentina. France had a strong group stage performance winning their opening two games, before a 0-0 draw against Denmark when they rested some key players. Argentina on the other hand limped out of the group stages, they drew with Iceland before a depressing defeat to Croatia. They bounced back to beat Nigeria and edge into the final 16.
Overall I see France progressing to the Quarter Finals, but it should be a good game.
Uruguay 1 – 2 Portugal
Round of 16 – Saturday 3am (Korea Time)
The second game of the round of 16, group A winners Uruguay take on European Champions Portugal. Portugal started their world cup with a classic 3-3 draw with rivals Spain, before a win over Morocco and finally a 1-1 draw with Iran. Uruguay on the other hand eased through their group winning all 3 of their games without conceding a goal.
Overall based on previous results Uruguay should have the edge, however their group was weak and Portugal are famous strong in the knockout stages. So I see a Portugal win, maybe after extra time.
