Australia vs. Egypt

Egypt has some injuries on defense to work through and that could mean that even offensively challenged Australia finds a goal here. These two are not separated by much and draw is very much on the table.
Argentina vs. Cape Verde
I had to get creative here, as this looks to be a fairly straightforward match. Most of the obvious things — like Messi to score and win to nil — are all around -200 or so. Argentina is so tough to score on, so Cape Verde scoring feels like a long shot, although we thought the same thing with DR Congo the other day. Unless things really get out of hand, I feel like we have the scoreline covered here. And, of course, Argentina to score on a penalty is always in play.
Colombia vs. Ghana
