First Semi Finalist

The First Semi Finalist would be the first team qualifying for the semi final match to be played on July 6th. It would be one of the following 4 teams.

1. Brazil : They are certainly my favorites to qualify from this Quarter. They might face some rough and tough opposition from Chile which they might already be aware of. It wont be so easy beating them though. With Kaka coming back into the playing eleven, Brazil should be up with confidence. They still need to tighten up their defense. Except for the goalless match against Portugal they have conceded atleast one goal in the other two group matches. They might have to fight next with Holland who are looking good this year. All the 4 teams in this quarter have good strikers and hope to see good entertaining football in all the 3 matches
2. Holland : They are my second best choice after Brazil. They are the only team apart from Argentina to have reached this round by winning all 3 group matches. They have a very good striker in the form of Persie. With Robben ready to join the team now, they might have an easy match against the surprise package of Slovakia. I would love to see Holland and Brazil battle it out in the Quarter Finals.
3. Chile : Good attacking game. But, can play rough when they are frustrated. This can backfire them if they end up getting more yellow/red cards. I would be surprised if they reach the semis from this Quarter.
4. Slovakia : The surprise package !!! Had a dream run in their Group games and will be hoping to give their best now. With nothing to lose they might as well go all guns against Holland. This World Cup has been favoring the underdogs a lot and you never know if Slovakia can produce more surprises
