Iran defeated Wales but the improvement was evident from the start, having opened the season with a big 6-2 defeat against england. As fragile as their defenses were against the english ss strong as against wales had the first good chance in a clash between two teams looking for a first win.

Senegal and Qatar both dropped one game in their matchup when Senegal was defeated by the Netherlands and Qatar by Ecuador. I was stunned by the Netherlands' performance against Senegal since I wasn't expecting them to defeat Senegal. Senegal's match against Qatar will be challenging to forecast because neither team wants to risk losing another match. Senegal will also not want to take any chances. And the host nation will also want to lose the second time.

Qatar is not able to create many chances against Senegal today. Senegal played very well today. Senegal's performance against the Netherlands was poor. But today Senegal is dominating the match against Qatar. And in the 41st minute of the match, Boulaye Dia's goal gave Senegal the lead. Senegal will be able to win today if they play a defensive strategy without attacking too much in the second half. Because Qatar's attacking players are not experienced enough. If Senegal plays defensive strategy, the players of Qatar will not be able to break the defense of Senegal.

And now hosts Qatar have to fall behind Senegal again after Boulaye  Dia scored in the 41st minute. Seeing how the match went, I didn't expect that Qatar would be able to catch up with them and it looks like they will lose again in this 2nd match. Senegal took the initiative to take control of the game in the second half, they were able to create several chances, whereas Qatar was not able to make them more confident to play better.
If Qatar loses again then they will dash their hopes of qualifying from this group phase. It is indeed very difficult for Félix Sánchez to make his team able to keep up with the 3 countries that are in the same group as them. The first half is over, Senegal has very good capital to stock up on in the second half later. As for Qatar, their mentality will be disturbed in my opinion.

I want to know. what is the reference and comparison, the fact that Ronaldo is better than Messi in their first matches in this world cup. both of these stars, both scored goals from the penalty spot.

in my opinion both messi and cristiano ronaldo had the same performances, they didn't surpass each other, i say that based on the number of goals that each 1 scored, the number of goals each one scored in this world cup would be a good point for measuring the performance of the two players in this world cup, because from what I can see scoring goals in this world cup is not an easy task, as it is not an easy task so it is a good way to measure the performance of attacking players, unfortunately on the side of messi things are not good because they lost in the first game and if they don't win against mexico then they can pack their bags to go back to argentina

Iran team managed to defeat wales today by scoring two goals in the last minutes of the match and after the red card for wales things became simpler and easier but they deserve this win they played better today especially in the second half its not easy to make a comeback after losing 6 2 in the first world cup game.

this was a strange result, because the two goals they scored were in the 90th + 8th and 90th + 11th minutes. minutes of compensation time? there are games with few stoppages, with few cases of stoppages but even so the referees have given 10 minutes of compensation, something that I simply think is a great exaggeration, could it be that all this compensation time was something that fifa decided that it should be like in the world cup? and how the hell wales conceded 2 goals in 3 minutes of compensation? I didn't watch the whole game, so I didn't see the last minutes of the game, but this defeat is very abnormal

But unfortunately Ronaldo and Messi could not beat the record for top scorers in the World Cup of all time belonging to Miroslav Klose, even Ronaldo and Messi have never written their names on the top scorer board in the World Cup championship, as long as they participated in the World Cup, scoring goals in the world cup is a great thing, that's true, but they can't score as many goals in 1 World Cup event as Miroslav Klose, even Pele and Maradona can't do it, what you say doesn't make me an extraordinary thing, even all players in the world can do it...

.

Try to see if there are names of Them Both there !!!

I knew about the record holder, Miroslav Klose but today when I saw the record table again, I felt a bit sad for Ronaldo (Brazil). He should be a player who holds the record. Klose is a good player but he is far under in quality than Ronaldo (Brazil) but even so I recognized what he did in many World Cups with Germany. He had a first World Cup with Germany in 2002 and continued to scored in later World Cups.

Very much different. That Ronaldo (Brazil) and Miroslav Klose have experience in their respective countries, and have different fans, but if you see that Ronaldo's (Brazil) skills are far superior to Miroslav Klose, Ronaldo (Brazil) can actually shift the top record Miroslav Klose's score, because it was physically impossible for Ronaldo (Brazil) which made his body start to get fat and his performance also decreased and made him hang up his boots at that time, and in the end Ronaldo (Brazil) could not catch up with Miroslav Klose's top score have so far...

Since Senegal and Qatar both lost to Ecuador, I knew right away that Qatar could not defeat Senegal. Having an automatic ticket was the only way Qatar could have advanced to this level, and I enjoy games like this that are simple to predict while playing the slots. This world cup is just to challenging for Qatar to go far, but you know football is difficult to predict.

Brazil and Serbia started their journey to the World Cup as the last two teams to play the first match. Despite having multiple opportunities in the early stages, Brazil could not break through the target. Serbia was also trying hard. However, they were not given a chance in the second half. Brazil unleashed a flood of charming attacks. Richarlison's double scored them a remarkable win. The second goal was a spectacular bicycle kick. Which has extended the joy to Brazil supporters more.

I watched the game between Brazil and Serbia and i was really impressed about Serbia how good they have played for a long time.
In the second halftime Brazil was getting better and better and i guess we dont have to talk about the last goal , it was just awesome.
By the way Senegal have won against Qatar now with 3 scored goals , at least Qatarmanaged to score there first goal in this World Cup.

Qatar did lose its chance to qualify for the group phase. it is difficult for Qatar to be at this level. although in terms of their game they have improved from their efforts to host. but dealing with strong teams in their group, it is clear that it will make it difficult for Qatar to compete.
Next up is the Netherlands vs Ecuador, both of them won in their first match. I think the game will end in a draw, or maybe a narrow win for the Netherlands.

The first matches in the world cup have been completed. Very nice, enjoyable, exciting matches were played. It was noted that there were no red cards in the matches of the first week. This is an interesting situation. Everyone was surprised that the favorite teams lost. There were also many surprise results. Football is a sport where there are a lot of surprises. We have seen this in the World Cup as well.
After the first week of matches, the results for me are as follows:

Best match: Portugal v Ghana
Best goal: Richarlison
Best player: Bellingham
Best team: Spain

[bitgolden]

Richalison goal was great I keep watching it from different angles..

Amazing goals scored by Richarlison last night because he was success great ball controlling before bicycle kick and make games over after Brazil won 2-0. Have bad expected for Richarlison because he has bad statistic with Tottenham Hotspur can't scoring goals in Primer League, but he has answer doubt from Brazil fans after scoring two goals last night.

He doesn't even count because Brazil will always focus on Neymar, he can be included in a squad with so many options is a miracle because usually performance at the club will be a reference for coaches to choose the main squad, and the two goals he created paid off.

Honestly, they are such a big football nation that just one player would mean nothing. Firmino is a player they didn't even get, he would be the star of some other nations whereas he was not even called up for Brazil, think of how rich with talent a nation has to be that Firmino would be considered excess to the team.

So, if Neymar misses a game or two, they will not be really bothered by it by that much, sure it would be annoying, people would love to watch Neymar play and it's always a good view, but at the end of the day they have more than 11 players that can play, they will just replace him with someone else and they will keep on winning every single game.

Senegal win against Qatar just opened the group between three countries. Sadly Qatar has set some unwanted records; being the first host country to lose there opening ceremony and now the first to lose both 2 games. Could also be the second team to get knocked out of the world Cup in group stage of Netherlands gets a point against Ecuador.

Netherlands already ahead with a goal from Gakpo. Will he be the dark horse to win the golden boot in this years edition.

Stoppage or injury time looks strange indeed if this is just the normal league competition. It appears to be exaggerated since we got used to five minutes or less but the FIFA organization already explained this. They claim they count the time wasted by the players and the time wasted because of the game. I don't exactly know how they do that but let's just say they have a more accurate way of counting. Unfortunate timing to implement that for Wales who were reduced to ten men with the send-off of Hennessey in the 86th minute

Right now the Netherlands team has scored the first goal and is taking advantage of the match against Ecuador. If the Netherlands ends with a victory, Qatar will be surely eliminated from the group. But how do the Qatari people in the host country feel? This is a very bad investment for Qatar.

The Netherlands - Ecuador match is going on pretty interesting. Including bookmakers, so many people were thinking like Netherlands would be in control and win this match. But there is a very different scenario at the moment. After scoring first I thought that Netherlands would take control of the match early. But this just fired up Ecuador even more. They have found so many goal chances so far and finally scored the equalizer also. First, Estupinan's goal in the final moments of the first half was disallowed by VAR due to offside.

However Ecuador still scored the goal in the first minutes of the second half. E. Valencia scored it again! He has 3 goals in 2 matches already and he is definitely among the players who have drawn a lot of attention to themselves already.

We are just at the beginning of the tournament, but I think the goal of the tournament has already been scored by Richarlison (https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/1595878992326070272). I definitely want to see a better goal in this tournament, but I don't think we can see a better goal than this. :)

In the 1986 world cup, Maradona scored a goal by hand. In the 1994 world cup final, Roberto Baggio missed a penalty. World Cups always have iconic moments that stay in mind. If Brazil win the cup, Richarlison's goal could be one of them.

Ecuador played very well against the Netherlands. The goal that VAR canceled at the end of the first half is a controversial decision. In the second half, there was a Netherlands who met their opponent in their own court. Ecuador did the unexpected and played superior football against the opponent. I wanted Ecuador to win the match because when I look at the football played, Ecuador deserved it. Valencia left the game with an injury, I hope he does not have a serious injury. I think Valencia still has a lot of goals to score. I'll be sad if he can't play.

[RockBell]

After the Netherlands gave Senegal two zeros on Monday, Ecuador beat Qatar, the two teams are the first winners from the first game, and Valencia in Ecuador has made it a tradition to always score since the qualifiers, he is really dedicated to taking his country to victory. Netherlands vs. Ecuador: I'm not surprised because the two teams are good, ending it with a draw. Predicting a draw between Ecuador vs Senegal on the 29th of November indicates that the match is going to be difficult to predict after the Netherlands gave Senegal two zeros in their last match.

Already, there was a draw in the game. Senegal is in third place with 3 points, while the Netherlands and Ecuador are tied on points. The Netherlands' upcoming encounter will be against the host country, and I predict that they will win. Senegal and Ecuador will play in the crucial and most intense game to decide who moves on to the next round of the competition. A draw in the encounter between Ecuador and Senegal will go in Ecuador's favor; nevertheless, I think Senegal won't be content with a draw and will instead want to win.

I watched the second halftime on the game Netherland against Ecuador and wow the Netherland was lucky in the end that not lost this game.
Guess we will see Ecuador for sure in the next round if they keep playing has they have done the last 2 games.
Netherland striker Memphis was not really seen in this game and a bit disappointing in my eyes.
