World Cup Predictions 6/22: Brazil vs Costa Rica, Switzerland vs Serbia and Iceland vs Nigeria

We hate to make this day about Argentina and Lionel Messi, but that's what we're going to do. Iceland vs Nigeria is a massive match for both two teams involved but for La Pulga and the mess that is Argentina, it's their World Cup fate. Brazil will also look to get back on track after a disappointing draw vs Switzerland. Serbia and Switzerland are vying for the last spot in Group E so don't miss that one! Our Chameleon Leon will be predicting Switzerland vs Serbia as well! Tune into our facebook  page at 1PM ET to catch his pick.

Here are the picks from Connor Fleming (@conmanfleming), Bryce Badwan (@bbadss) and Travis Yoesting (@travisyoesting). 

World Cup Predictions 6/22

Brazil vs Costa Rica

Connor: Brazil -Costa Rica will try to wax Neymar early and often, but Brazil's other weapons will dictate this game. The Seleção probably get four or five here.

Bryce: Brazil - Nothing crazy here. I think Brazil get back on track with a convincing performance vs the Ticos. They'll try and play rough and rowdy, but Brazil should take care of business. 

Travis: Brazil - Assuming he plays, Neymar will be hacked by Costa Rica just as much as by Switzerland, but Costa Rica is too old to keep up with the verve of Brazil. 

Game Info:

8:00AM ET 

Saint Petersburg Stadium 

FS1, Telemundo 

Nigeria vs Iceland 

Connor: Iceland - Iceland's just too difficult to breakdown. Nigeria need the three points, and that only plays into what Iceland does so well. 

Bryce: Iceland - Iceland are a team that trust the system and believe in their roles. They aren't as talented or fast as Nigeria, but Nigeria did little to show me they'll be able to finish against Iceland. I see the Vikings coming through 1-0. 

Travis: Nigeria - Iceland held on for dear life against Argentina. Against Nigeria, the game should be more open, which will play to the strength of the Super Eagles. 

Game Info:

Switzerland vs Serbia 

Connor: Serbia - The Swiss can't handle Mitrovic.  

Bryce: Switzerland - I liked Serbia. I think they could easily win this game. But Switzerland seem to have some type of moxie about them. This will be a physcial match, so with the way things are going, a 1-0 finish with a penalty being the loan goal wouldn't shock me. 

Travis: Draw - Both teams will want a win but even more neither team can afford a loss. Unless there's a red card, I expect a low-scoring, low-action contest.
