Last Of 16: Day 1 Previews

Allianz Arena

Germany vs Sweden

There won't be any changes to the German squad from the one that took them past the group stages as they looked to continue their excellent record against the Swedes. Meanwhile, Sweden will look to the recovery of their over-rated star striker, Ibrahimovic and lead the strike force alongside Henrik Larsson.

Germany (Probable): Lehmann, Friedrich, Mertesacker, Metzelder, Lahm, Ballack, Frings, Schneider, Schweinsteiger, Klose, Podolski;

Sweden (Probable): Isaksson, Edman, Lucic, Mellberg, N. Alexandersson, Kallstrom, Linderoth, Ljungberg, Ibrahimovic, Larsson, Jonson;

Drogballs' Prediction: Germany 2-1 Sweden. Sweden will be a tough opposition to the Germans so expect a pretty cagey match as both teams would not want to lose this game.

Zentralstadion

Argentina vs Mexico

Lionel Messi hopes to marks his 19th birthday with a starting place in tonight's clash with the Mexicans. Messi will be celebrating his 19th birthday today and is being told to enjoy playing football and not fret at a big stage such as this. In the Mexican camp, Jared Borgetti have a chance to start in tonight's game after recovering from his injury.

Drogballs' Prediction: Argentina 2-0 Mexico. The Argies will be a little too strong for the Mexican, I think. Messi and Crespo to score.
