So these are the upcoming matches:
Spain-Greece
Turkey-France
Slovenia-Australia
USA-Angola
Russia-New Zealand
Lithuania-China
Serbia-Croatia
Argentina-Brazil
I think all the teams listed on the left will pass to quarter finals, with the possible surprise of Greece over Spain and New Zealand over Russia

8 out of 8 - not bad!
On the other hand, those were pretty easy guesses, I had the same teams advancing. The only games that I had trouble deciding also were the tightest games (Argentina over Brazil, Serbia over Croatia).
Now it get's really interesting. US should beat Russia, but the other games are tougher.
My guess is Spain, Turkey and Argentina come out victorious.
And what about Scolas play vs. Brazil?
The best performance by a player in the tournament this far.

And what an underdog!
Incredible game between Spain and Serbia. Nice run by Spain to get back inte it, but Teodosics game winner was just ice-cold-murder-legend-stuff.
