If we do have to predict the winners, then I think Argentina and Germany will drop out. There is a significant chance that both teams will not even make it through the group stage. Argentina could still manage against Mexico and Poland, but Germany had to beat Spain and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Brazil, England, France and Spain are my top favorites at the moment. Other countries are not even close to their level so far. Odds for Brazil are around 3.50 for the final victory.

I don't have to argue your analysis because it is based on facts and it is likely going to play out. In the World Cup anyone that loses the first match is at high risk of dropping out of the group stage. Argentina and Germany have failed to win their first match this means that the possibility of any of them or both of them to drop out of the group stage is very high.
My favourites are Brazil, France and England is the order of my arrangement. Let us see how England will be able to USA this night.

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.

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.

Do you predict Qatar will win when playing against the Netherlands? Are you serious?
Even though Qatar wins, in reality there is no more chance for Qatar to qualify, even though Qatar is the host but that doesn't mean the opponent will feel sorry for it and let it win. Because if that happened then it might be called elephant football or there was match fixing or bribes, corruption or whatever cheating was involved, and I don't think that would happen.

I personally really believe that the Netherlands will still win against Qatar and leave Qatar not having any points in this event, that is natural and it is not just about an investment.
If the host country is obligated to win in events like this and no other team is allowed to beat it, then what is the competition for? Losing and winning in a competition is natural, and the defeat that the home team has experienced does not mean that they have suffered the full loss. Because after all, the income they get is not only from team wins, but from the many visitors and other markets where the hosts still have income received.

Let us see how England will be able to USA this night.

The England team could not perform as brilliantly as in the first match today. They played well against Iran in the first match. And got a great 6-2 win. We dominated the England players in the whole match. I saw but they are not able to perform very well against the USA in today's match. They could not score any goals in the first half. Despite several good attacks, they could not score. On the other hand, the performance of the USA players is quite good. They are trying to score from the counterattack. And so the players of England are not able to play completely attacking. The USA will be able to score if they find any weaknesses in England's defenders.

The game is actually more interesting to watch than I thought it would be. I couldn’t believe USA could hold down England to a goalless game for this long period in the match today. England have made quite number of good attacks but none end up in a goal yet. USA on the other side are looking promising to still utilize the match in the die minute if England defense are not strong to penetrate

The fact alone that he is already playing his fifth world cup is crazy in and of itself and yes, he is still able to perform very well. The team they have right now shouldn't be underestimated. Even though it seems that the game against Ghana was too close, but the African teams have a great spirit and certainly some high quality teams. Ronaldo is 1000% motivated to show the world once more what he is able to.

At least when compared to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo was able to prove that he is still one of the top players in the world. But all credit to Ghana. It was a really close match and with some luck going in their favor they could made another upset in this edition of the world cup. But in the end, the more experienced team held their nerves and won the match. The encouraging sign for Portugal is that two of the players who are supposed to replace Ronaldo after his replacement also scored goals yesterday (João Félix and Rafael Leão).

It is not as if Ronaldo showed an outstanding match. Yes he scored the penalty and in the last minute of the game they almost conceded another goal and it would have been a tie.

Argentina is feeling so much pressure now because it is essentially over for them when they lose this game, which would be a shock given that they have been unbeaten with their national team like forever. Then they destroy their own chance for the all-time record against Saudi Arabia... Now against Mexico it won't be any easier than against SA, in fact it is going to be tough.   

[DireWolfM14]

USA vs England was a pretty good match, and the draw was not a bad outcome for the US's prospects.  Group B is turning out to be a tougher nut to predict than I originally thought.  The US should have beaten Wales, and they looked like the better team against England.  Hopefully they'll take 3 points from Iran, but again, in their match with Wales today, Iran didn't look like the same team that let England score six goals.

The group stage has been fun so far.  Brazil is fun to watch, so many familiar faces from the Premier League.  They looked pretty comfortable against Serbia, it's hard to see them not taking 9 points out of the Group Stage.

There are a lot of possibility in this group as each of them could still have a chance to qualify even wales with 1 point at the bottom , my wild guess is that england might be slipped in wales match and USA held another draw by iran and make iran finish at the top , wales second.

But yeah it should be like , england beat wales and USA beat iran at the last match of the group stage.

Argentina has a strong squad. Their defeat against Saudi Arabia was completely unexpected. They must win against Mexico tomorrow. There is no alternative. Argentina must earn full points in any way and match. But it is very difficult for Argentina to win this match. Mexico will try to draw. Mexico did not play very well against Poland. Mexico will probably be happy if they can get a point with a draw against Argentina.

[blue Snow]

I just happy when Gakpo created a fast goal on minute 7 and think the Netherlands will create many goals last night. but Ecuador surprised me after Valencia make the draw in minute 50. Netherlands can't keep winning because look defensive and not many attack between 90', they can't play offensive, there are nothing long passing balls like Netherlands always played. So, This match completed my loss tonight, England, Wales and Qatar. 

[Strongkored]

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.

The competition to be called upon by the Brazilian coach to defend his country at the World Cup is very tight, they have many choices and talents, and this time the Brazilian coach prefers to include young players even though the goals they score at the club are not as many as other experienced players. older.
Roberto Firminio has scored more goals than Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and also Richarlison in the Premier league this seasons but that statistic is not enough to allow him to play in Qatar, it must be disappointing for him but it has to be accepted.

And it has been confirmed that Neymar will not play against Switzerland and most likely also against Cameroon but with the existing list of attackers it should not affect and this can be good for player rotation so that all players have the opportunity to show their abilities

I'm pretty confident by also picking Netherlands to win this game, hope arose when a quick goal was scored but there were hardly any good opportunities created after that as Ecuador looked very much capable of playing more dominantly

Germany will most likely be eliminated from group E, the German national team will definitely go home early, because in the second game they will have a very difficult match for Germany to face the Spanish national team, it is very difficult for the German national team to steal three points at the hands of Spain, if Germany able to hold Spain to a draw, one point is definitely not enough to qualify from the group stage, because in another match Japan faced the Costa rica national team, indeed on paper Japan can be sure that it managed to secure three points and immediately qualify for the top 16 round, according to my predictions Spain and Japan managed to secure a round of 16 ticket,
Meanwhile, Argentina's chances of qualifying for the top 16 are still wide open, as long as they manage to get full points against Mexico and Poland.

The performance that Argentina and Germany put forward in this world cup was not expected by anyone, apart from making gambler's to lose big sum of money they equally have some negative effects on their countrymen. Talking about qualifying from the group stage both of them risks the chances of qualifying from the group stage.

Unlike you that is seeing Argentina having good chances of qualifying more than Germany because Germany has to play Spain. I doubt heavily that Argentina will be able to beat Mexico today  I have watched through the depth of the Argentine team, they don't have good depth and fine players

If Argentina lose today's game against Mexico, they will be dropped out of the game and will not get a chance to play again in this year's World Cup. And Messi dream won't come true as he will leave the World Cup after this year, despite being a good player, he won't see the World Cup in his hands. It will be the saddest event of his life . If Argentina's best players want to fulfill Messi's dream, they will have to struggle and win at least two matches to reach the final as they lost the first match.

[Fakhrulenclix]

Tonight there are 2 interesting matches in Group C.
Poland against Saudi Arabia, after beating Argentina in this match Saudi Arabia is very calculated and the betting market only opens the market +0.5 points for Saudi Arabia.
this is very tempting in my opinion to place a -0.5 bet to win for Poland, because in terms of team quality, of course Poland is very superior and Saudi Arabia's victory over Argentina cannot be a reference for them to do the same thing again.

and in the other game Argentina will play Mexico, it's a decisive game for Argentina, they have to win the game if they want to continue this long journey in this tournament, I have no doubt about that.
I think Argentina will be able to get up in this match and win the match, the odds that the city has issued @ 1.60 for Argentina's victory, I think it's worth it for a comparable risk.

while in group D Tunisia's match against Australia will be very fierce, and after in the first match Tunisia managed to hold off to a draw with Denmark and Australia lost to France so that in this match Tunisia is superior.
but I don't take that as a certainty, this will be a difficult match for both of them and it is likely that there will be many goals that will be scored in this match, choosing to bet on goals over I think will be very profitable

and the match between France and Denmark, of course, will be very interesting because the match between the two top European teams, even though France is superior, Denmark will not be easily defeated.

[Fara Chan]

and the match between France and Denmark, of course, will be very interesting because the match between the two top European teams, even though France is superior, Denmark will not be easily defeated.

The match between France and Denmark is the most interesting, because Denmark needs points to ensure progress to the next round, although the other two matches are also quite tough to watch. In Grub D only France has managed to collect three points, while Denmark and Tunisia will struggle to secure points to advance to the next round, Denmark is a bit more difficult, as they will face France while Tunisia will face Australia.

The hunt for Runner-up will be very interesting in grub D. If Denmark can surprise and beat France, then Tunisia's position will be quite difficult, although on paper France is far superior, it is still very possible for something unexpected to happen.

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.

Senegal would want to win, but can they win Ecuador? Ecuador players are not an easy team to win, Netherlands was even very lucky that Ecuador did not win when they met, Senegal is also good and will want I win the match, but I think Ecuador will have more potential to play to win Senegal. As for Netherlands, definitely they are going to win the next match, sorry for Qatar that this season world cup is in their country, but not having a single win in the group stage.

I would not like to say France that they is only advanced on paper. They have quite a winning record. Moreover, France is performing well in this year's World Cup in Qatar. Several things will depend on today's match. France's last match was against Australia but today's opposition is quite strong. If France can win against Denmark today, I can expect to see France at the top level in this tournament.

Ecuador is  27 step behind from Senegal in the fifa rankings, but their performance was very good against a strong team like Netherlands, although the match ended in a draw.  But on the others hand Senegal lost with Netherlands.  Therefore, in the current situation, I will call Ecuador as the favorite team of that match.  And if everything goes well, I think Ecuador is going to win against Senegal that day.

I'm also surprised with the initial bad results of Germany and Argentina, but you are forgetting one important thing.
Argentina and Germany were actually much better than their opponents, scored first, had chances to score more goals and ended up losing unfortunately.
Argentina and Germany did not become bad teams and forget to play football because of one unfortunate defeat. Such situations can happen to anyone.
Both teams still have a chance to advance to the knockout stage of the competition, although it will be much more difficult for Germany as they play against Spain.
