Match Day #4 Preview

Today's games kick of with Ecuador and Switzerland at 11:00, followed by France vs Honduras at 2:00, and Argentina vs Bosnia at 5:00.

Today's Featured Game:

Argentina vs Bosnia and Herzegovina 


Argentina is my pick to win the entire tournament. They have top quality players all over the field, especially in attack. Led by Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, Argentina will certainly create enough chances to win any game. 

Bosnia come into the tournament with hopes to make some noise. Drawn into a relatively easy group, they have a great chance to reach the round of 16 in their World Cup debut. Big man, Edin Dzeko, will be a threat all game.

Players to Watch:

Argentina


Lionel Messi (Forward) - One of the best players in the world. Messi is a magician on the ball. He has the ability to turn nothing, into a moment of brilliance.


Angel Di Maria (Midfielder) - Di Maria made the switch to the midfield, from the wing last season. He has the ability to beat the defense with his pace and decisive passing.

Bosnia and Herzegovina


Asmir Begovic (Goalkeeper) - Tasked with stopping the potent Argentinian attack force, Begovic's performance will be key if Bosnia want to come away with any points.


Edin Dzeko (Forward) - Coming off one of his best seasons for his club team, Dzeko is almost impossible to deal with in the air. 

Score Prediction:

Argentina 3 Bosnia 1

Switzerland vs Ecuador

To be honest I haven't watched either of these two teams. France will likely be the #1 team out of the group, so this first game will be crucial in the fight for #2. 

Switzerland 2 Ecuador 1

France vs Honduras

France will be looking to forget about their implosion at the 2010 tournament. They should have no problems with Honduras

France 4 Honduras 0
