World Cup Top Picks for Tuesday, June 30
Ivory Coast takes on Norway, and 'The Bear' thinks Ivory Coast's central defenders can counter Norway's box threats. With players like Yan Diomande and Franck Kessie, Ivory Coast can control the ball and limit Norway's attack.
The match between France and Sweden is also highly anticipated. Sweden improved its defense against Japan, but France is a different challenge. After a strong performance, except for the first half against Senegal, France is expected to tighten up its defense in the knockout rounds.
In the Mexico vs. Ecuador match, 'The Bear' predicts a close, defensive battle. Ecuador is comfortable with tight matches and won't be affected by the conditions in Mexico, making it a tough opponent for Mexico.
