The Holland of Louis go Gaal is the most stood out presence in the day of eighth of final of this Sunday in the World-wide of Brazil 2014, although in the shop window will be two of the selections that more have convinced during the first phase. To start with, Mexico, that will confront to the runners-up of the world in Fortress (18.00 hours), and, especially, the surprising Costa Rica, that presents in front of a historical appointment against Greece, in Recife (22.00 hours).
The commitment of the Mexicans is not less unpublished. If they happen to chambers, will be the first time that do it without being the organisers of the Glass of the World, what did the years 1970 and 1986. In the first phase played to a very competitive level; it touched them play against Brazil and even had options of victory (0-0). The "orange" also have his dose of pressure. After a start of dream in front of Spain (5-1), also beat to Australia and Chile, although with less shine. The technician has received critical by the fact to use defences of five men, and betray purportedly the Dutch ideal of the total football. To his favour, however, has a consistent block and experienced, with many win to take out the spine of the final of South Africa and led by one of the men more in shape of the competition, Arjen Robben. If a team can consider favourite, is, definitely, the Dutch.
Duel of level between two "small"
Whatever happens between Costa Rica and Greece, one of the two will have made history for his country. Neither the one neither the another has played the quarter-finals of a Glass of the World. The "ticos" have been the surprise of the first phase, and have happened first in the group of the death, where was Italy, England and Uruguay. They know to play ordenadamente and with a touch of the quite fine ball, with which can expect that they want to carry the initiative in the party. In front, the Greek team, parsimonioso and much more centred in the defence -in spite of the presence of an exemplary forward like Samaras-, will be an escollo hard to surpass. The step to eighth has been more discreet, with a victory against Ivory Coast and a tie with Japan, but, precisely, without calling too much the attention, Greece won the Eurocopa of Portugal hardly does ten years.
