\n<\/strong>The strange thing about both quarter final matches tonight is that the outcomes should be predictable.\u00a0 On form, Australia and New Zealand should advance.\u00a0 However there’s something about the World Cup though that makes teams behave like its Opposite Day.\u00a0 England have gotten the better of Australia the last two times they met at the World Cup and they are the defending champions.\u00a0 So I can’t see them just rolling over.\u00a0 Similarly, it was France who beat New Zealand in the 1999 semis and they have the added advantage of being hosts.<\/p>\n
