The Netherlands have so far looked one of the best sides in the tournament, winning all three of their games including a 5-1 demolition of Spain.

Lionel Messi should have enough to impress his side to victory but the Swiss have shown their quality and will present a stiff test and are expected for good reaction.

The last 16 is where the World Cup really gets interesting. The games do not come quite as thick and fast, but they are of even greater importance as continuity is on the line.

Expect Spain, most of the pre-tournament favourites still remain and the quality of football is expected  to only get progress as the competition becomes higher and last-eight places have to work hard to show their nations dignity.
