My picks in bold, mostly as they are seeded. Some were hard to call though (Group A, anyone? :) )

Therefore, going by these selections, (and of course they're just a shot in the dark), we might be looking at the following:
 
Round of 16:

1. France vs Nigeria

2. England vs Ghana

3. Germany vs USA

4. Argentina vs South Africa (!)

5. Netherlands vs Paraguay

6. Brazil vs Switzerland

7. Italy vs Denmark

8. Spain vs Portugal (In Green Point, lucky Capetonians)

However, should these same teams make it through, but in different order, we could see some top seeded sides knock each other out quite early, like, if Brazil don't top Group G, they could play Spain in the Round of 16.
