BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Sunday's other Round of 16 clash is a match-up between two of the biggest surprise teams - Costa Rica and Greece.
Greece is in the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time in their history and will meet Costa Rica today at the Arena Pernambuco in Recife. Both are now eyeing a place in the quarter-finals.
In Fortaleza, the Netherlands are up against Mexico. The Dutch team will be boosted by the return of Robin van Persie, who missed the final group game against Chile due to a suspension.
Mexico lost at this stage for the last six World Cups and hopes to end its string of second round eliminations.
