Perfect 9 points can not help them to reserve a spot in quarter final. They have to fight and win their matches in Round 16. Italy and Netherlands can win a bit easily but Belgium will have to show their best performance to win against Portugal.
Yeah, I'm also not so sure about belgium even though they got perfect points in qualifying. Because, Portugal also has a good opportunity. I think these two teams will be equally difficult to score goals, even if they win, one of them can only score one goal. Even their move (who wins), will likely stop in the top 8. For the Netherlands and Italy, there is no doubt, even I think Netherlands has potential to the final.
