Predictions: USA-Belgium and Argentina-Switzerland

USA-Belgium
I predict USA wins 2-2 on penalties to make the final 8. Belgium is a dark horse that could go far, while the US have played well in group stage. Both teams want to impress the winner of Argentina-Switzerland. USA has proved critics wrong  with a narrow loss vs. Germany, a tie vs. Portugal, and a memorable win vs. Ghana. Belgium, though has not impressed, with narrow wins against teams with what should be big wins.
Argentina-Switzerland
Both teams have had struggles in the group stage, Argentina trouble with scoring, Switzerland same thing and defense. Switzerland will try to erase the 5-2 loss to France but easily beat Honduras and a spectacular finish vs. Ecuador. Argentina has relied heavily on Messi, scoring 4 of the 5 goals, but he will need help on offense. I predict Argentina wins 3-2.
