Italy V Brazil
This really is a must win match for Italy, if they fail to beat Brazil and Egypt and beat the USA then it`s all over for the Italians for this tournament.
Brazil on the other hand only need a draw to progress and although they are not looking like world beaters they could have had plenty more than the three they put past the USA in their last match, so it makes you wonder if they are going to turn on the style at some point.
For me Italy have been poor, they conceded first against the USA and then went on to win the match, but having said that they lost to Egypt and now find themselves fighting for survival.
I have to go with Brazil here as I think that they are by far the better team and look like they want this more than Italy.
Bet Brazil to beat Italy at +120 for the win in the regulation 90 minutes at www.betuk.com
Egypt V USA
Egypt have put themselves right back in the hunt for a semi-final place after beating Italy in their last match.
And if the above happens and Brazil do beat Italy, then Egypt need at least a draw in this game to get themselves through.
There are a few different outcomes to this group but with the USA having not won a match and nothing really to play for in this one (a win with a huge goal difference could change that, but it`s a very long shot) then I cannot see past Egypt getting the result they need to step up to a semi with Spain.
Bet Egypt to beat the USA in the correct score specials with www.betuk.com to win 2-1 3-1 or 4-0 at +355.
