By God's help, I was correct on both quarter-finals matches today and now sit at 64% and a .6428 winning percentage.
Overall this competition is going much better for me than UEFA Euro 2016 did. Admittedly, Brazil is a very good club, but as I have noted over the years on this website, the British football media, in particular too often choose Brazil and Argentina, each World Cup as favourites, especially Brazil, where this analysis often significantly lacks objectivity. This has been the case since 1982, at least (my first World Cup I viewed on television). This media, including their Canadian counterparts are stuck in an old football paradigm of South American superiority which is outdated since about 2002 to 2006. Europe will 4peat with World Cup victories and four different winners and have a 12-9 continental overall lead over South America, which I reason will not be overcome.
