World Cup Quarterfinals set

Here are the match-ups for the quarter finals! Interesting matches overall, especially the Czechs vs. USA. I think this will be tough for the Americans, the Czechs are really good, and they play a stifling defensive game which is not so fun to watch, but they win.

Canada-Slovakia
Czech Republic-USA
Sweden-Switzerland
Russia-Finland

My predictions -

Canada beats Solvakia
Czech Republic beats USA (barely)
Sweden beats Switzerland
Russia beats Finland

But no one should think they have it easy. Even the Swedes know that the Swiss are dangerous, especially Martin Pluss, and have good goaltending. Some good hockey in store for us.
