I still want to know who won in this bet because surely most of the losers in this match bet

I just won, but I bet in a live when the odds are 4x. I am very regretful after that because I am late to put them when the odds are still on 13x. So I guess many bettors won out there because Saudi Arabia is a good performance in the last 5 matches, many bettors are calculated they will make surprised because they know Argentina is just a team who filled up the veteran player.

That look funny the big team can't handle winning versus a team which not have an achievement like Saudi Arabia. Messi will be shamed and maybe still regret in his room hotels.

Maybe in this case you bet when they draw there but indeed that is also very good in my opinion.
But it would be even better when you wake up early and bet when the odds are x100 at that time
I also regret that because I didn't place any bets because when I wanted to bet on Argentina the odds were not attractive and at first I was quite hesitant when I wanted to bet on Saudi Arabia but it seems that I am still very weak and think too much about objectivity because Saudi Arabia is not seeded so I don't dare to try something challenging.

yes of course, I bet in live when Saudi created a score 2-1.
I still doubt putting a bet when the odds are still 13 (4 hours before the match) and bypass to bet, and Thinking to bet when begin to kick off on the 2dn half. I know and really sure Saudi will keep hold the winning until finish, because when I look the defender is look dicipline to clear the area, and 1 person who make me more sure will win is Al Qwais, a goal keeper who won man of the match.

Neither team saw any goals in the second half. As a result, Michy Batshuayi's goal in the first half was the difference between Canada and Belgium. Belgium beat Canada 1-0 at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium. Davies-Davids tried. But no one could break the fortress of Belgium. Canada played great throughout the match. Like the first half, Atiba Hutchinson's team was much ahead in possession or attack in the second half. But due to the lack of perfect finishing, Canada has to leave the field with the loss.

Just 4 days have been completed, and we have a bunch of big upsets so far. First, Argentina got destroyed by Saudi Arabia and yesterday Japan managed to defeat Germany. And in both the matches the strong teams were leading by 1-0 by half-time, before the underdogs scored two goals in the second half to make the score 1-2. Today there is a chance of another upset, as Serbia is taking on the tournament favorites Brazil. Before that Portugal is playing against Ghana. The chances of any upsets today are very slim, but I am still hopeful.

There are so many surprises in this year’s World Cup. Honestly i didn’t expect Japan to beat Germany. And they did it with their efficiency. It's really surprising but come to think of it, it’s football and same thing happened yesterday in the Argentina Vs Saudi Arabia game. Germany had 78% possession in the first half and had plenty of chances in the second half but failed to take it. They even dominated possession but ran out of ideas the longer the game went on. I think it is a sign of how they are struggling. For much of this match, they looked dull, flat and tired. Kudos to Japan, if they can beat Costa Rica, I think they will make the group stage.

Can the situation that happened to Argentina and Germany also happen to Brazil and Portugal?
this makes those who bet a little indecisive. because in the world cup this time we see how the favorite country is defeated in the first game. although it is still not determined whether to be able to enter the next phase. this leaves quite a few gamblers surprised by the results they see.
my prediction Portugal can at least win 1-0 against Ghana. while Brazil should be able to get more than 2 goals. I still hope that these 2 great teams will not suffer the same fate as Argentina and Germany.

When the nation celebrates a win as a national holiday, you know that was a huge win for sure. This also shows all the people who doubted Qatar to have a possibility of a win on the starting game, yes Ecuador was a better team and yes they won, but it could have happened, if Saudi Arabia could beat Argentina, then Qatar could have of course beaten Ecuador, the difference between them is much smaller than what Arabia managed to do.

I feel like football is great because of games like this, we see rarely when the underdogs (and by this much) end up winning, otherwise if the favourites of all games ended up winning, it wouldn't be fun at all, it would be quite boring.

That is what makes sport competitions worth watching, most of the time the better team will win but it is not as if the underdog has no chance at all, Saudi Arabia before the win against Argentina had won only three other games on the world cup, if they can get another win most likely they will make it to the next round, which Saudi Arabia has only achieved once during the 1994 world cup, so you can imagine how enthusiastic are their fans about the possibility of their team moving forward in the tournament.

There are so many surprises in this year’s World Cup. Honestly i didn’t expect Japan to beat Germany. And they did it with their efficiency. It's really surprising but come to think of it, it’s football and same thing happened yesterday in the Argentina Vs Saudi Arabia game.

Argentina simply lost that match by themselves. Saudi Arabia fighted seriously but in another day, Argentina should have a big win after all opportunities they created.

Germany had 78% possession in the first half and had plenty of chances in the second half but failed to take it. They even dominated possession but ran out of ideas the longer the game went on. I think it is a sign of how they are struggling. For much of this match, they looked dull, flat and tired. Kudos to Japan, if they can beat Costa Rica, I think they will make the group stage.

The win of Japan is another win from a team with second lowest ball possession at 26.2%. A team with the first lowest ball possession is South Korea when they won against Germany in World Cup 2018. Yeah, Germany again and they are victim of two shocks in World Cup history by two Asian teams.

Japan did plan for counter attacking to punish Germany as their coach, Hajime Moriyasu said in a press conference after the match. In addition, German players simply under valued Japanese players and a classic moment is a funny run from Antonio Rudiger.

Everything is uncertain. When Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia, some people began to wonder why Germany would make the same mistake that Argentina had made. Germany was measured differently by most football fans. But the result was different in the end from what happened at first. Basically, the second half was not the same as Germany started the game in the first half. It is very simple that such a result can come in favor of Brazil. But I don't think that will happen. Brazil will definitely win the match according to my prediction.

The world's attention will be on Cristiano Ronaldo, because Ronaldo has just parted ways with Manchester United, even though Ronaldo is in a bad state, I'm sure Ronaldo will definitely prove his worth to the world when he faces Ghana tonight, I'm also sure Ronaldo will be able to score goals. Even though Ronaldo didn't play as agile as before, in my opinion Ronaldo was able to make a big contribution against Ghana tonight. The Portuguese team also doesn't want to suffer the same fate as Germany and Argentina.
I dare to place a bet on Portugal's victory tonight against Ghana.

Today most awaited match of Portugal is going to be played and all Cristiano Ronaldo fans will be betting on his team but let's see what' happens in that match as we have seen many surprises in last 2 days .
Anyways Belgium won against Canada 1:0 the game was very slow as both teams have almost equal ball possesions and passes . Belgium scored their first goals right before end of 1st half and after that no team scored any goal.

[_act_]

Portugal are starting the World Cup with a match against Ghana tomorrow.

As you must have heard, Manchester United have parted their ways with Ronaldo recently. Ronaldo was already pushing for leaving the team immediately so this must be absolutely good news for him. After solving this problem completely I expect Ronaldo to focus on his game even more with Portugal. This is his last World Cup so I expect to see his best performance. Bernardo Silva stated that he was going to fight for the World Cup title especially for Ronaldo. We will see how ambitious they will be tomorrow. We have seen some surprising results already and let's see if there will be any tomorrow as well.

I expect Portugal to win Ghana, Ghana is not having good players like Portugal and Portugal has been better in football than Ghana in the past. This is C. Ronaldo last world cup, I think so too as he is getting aged in football, I hope we see one of his best performance in football in this world cup. But just that he did not just leave Manchester United, he was so rude. Portugal would win Ghana, but if so, do not let us not remember that their are still stronger teams. But this year is surprising me as Germany and Argentina lost their first match.

Ghana is also not to be underestimated. although Portugal is the favorite in this group, Ghana could have a surprise. the situation with Argentina and Germany can also happen with Portugal, they are the favorites, and I hope not to underestimate their opponents. We've seen the surprises at this year's World Cup, there could be more. be careful with your bets.

[dwminer1]

In today's matches, I bet on the victories of the teams of Brazil, Portugal and Uruguay. The first two teams are clear favorites and Serbia and Ghana, although they can play football, should not pose a threat. A more difficult task awaits Uruguay, which will play against unpredictable South Korea. Uruguay, however, has experienced players who have played in European leagues and know that this match could be crucial to advance to the next phase of the World Cup.

[Daniel91]

Belgium playing Canada is not a bad combo at all looking at the two clubs their manpower seems to be the same, Belgium people actually love sport and after a lot of effort they scored against Canada, The game is not done yet, and the route forward remains unclear. Canada's performance and having more shots on target than Belgium in this match might end draw, rating them on the same scale but Canada will prefer to end the game with a draw am very sure.

I think Belgium needs to do better if they want to get more results and get out of their group stage. it was a very poor wasteful performance against Canada, and Belgium only benefitted because Canada refused to take their chances and make it count. A very slim win for Belgium and valuable 3 points. Have to do better in following group games definitely

It can be said that both favorites from that group disappointed in the first matches, Croatia and Belgium.
Canada blew me away, they played a fantastic game against Belgium and lost undeservedly. Actually, they should have won, but at the end of the game they ran out of power.
Morocco also played a very good game against Croatia, so everything is still open in this group.
Belgium and Croatia disappointed me. Although they will probably pass the group and make it to the knockout stage of the competition, they do not have much chance in the rest of the competition, if they do not raise their level of play.

Looks like team asia is now the real underdog and i also hope south korea do the same as saudi arabia and japan did.
On the other hand, when talking about Portugal, I still have high hopes for Portugal, but seeing from the difficult match conditions to predict, I probably won't be too sure about that, even though the odds are still that I'm in Portugal for now.

Teams from Asia are growing and developing so you can never predict their game before,  let's wait for the games may be today strong teams dominates or this FIFA will follow same new pattern that world is experiencing from last 2 days.

I applaud your betting. I myself bet in favor of Brazil. The results of some previous matches can change the bettors betting attitude. Here I want those who bet on Brazil to win as much as possible. But Serbia is not to be underestimated. Moreover, if Brazil dream to the final, then they must be active on the field from the beginning.  Argentina and Germany lost their matches with the same mistake. Hopefully Brazil will not repeat that situation.

I think Argentina have little chance of getting out of Group C after losing to Saudi Arabia. Mexico and Poland are not favourites for the championship. But these two teams are traditionally the dark horses. I think after the draw in the Mexico vs. Poland match, these teams are the main contenders qualify from the group C.

At least in this case they have partners because Germany also had to lose to Japan.
Even if we look at the whole game the conditions are actually the same between these matches. Argentina and Germany dominated more than 70 per cent of possession and managed to score the first goal through Penalty but after that the comeback was incredible.
This is definitely something that is beyond thought because basically in terms of strength they are much better but with this condition now it's a little different because I don't think they will be too comfortable if they have to lose in the group stage now.

Saudi Arabia and Japan are real dark horse teams and in reality I am personally not too surprised by this result but yes, about Mexico and Poland I also believe that Mexico and Poland have the ability to play well in defense. But even so, Argentina and Germany still have a chance to qualify but it seems that the chance to qualify for them is very low, especially about Germany, which still has Spain in group E as another favorite team in group E.
Therefore I say that their chances are indeed small, but Germany clearly seems to have a more difficult challenge because it could be that Spain and Japan are the two teams that will qualify from Group E.

Of course it would be a shame if these favorite teams did not qualify from the group stage, because on paper they all have better quality.
But indeed, sometimes these dark horse teams can provide resistance during the event and this should be the main consideration for the favorite teams.
Because by having such awareness, at least they will never be satisfied if they only win by only one goal, they should still continue to play with the ambition to make more goals to make their lead more secure.

Currently the role of the dark horse for the group will definitely be pinned for them and it looks like the asia team is now turning into the dark horse and I am looking forward to south korea for another match.
On the other hand talking about Kans maybe this is a bit true and Germany is one of the ones in the corner at the moment especially seeing the condition of Spain partying against Costa Rica.
Japan just has to do their best to hold back Spain because I think against Costarica it will be a little easier for them because their strength is relatively the same.

At least in this case they have partners because Germany also had to lose to Japan.
Even if we look at the whole game the conditions are actually the same between these matches. Argentina and Germany dominated more than 70 per cent of possession and managed to score the first goal through Penalty but after that the comeback was incredible.
This is definitely something that is beyond thought because basically in terms of strength they are much better but with this condition now it's a little different because I don't think they will be too comfortable if they have to lose in the group stage now.

Right now, Germany is in a more difficult situation than Argentina. Germany face Spain next and they would most likely lose that game. Costa Rica would most likely lose to Japan and if this happens Germany is out of the world cup.

Argentina on the other hand face Mexico next and they are the superior team that can learn from their mistakes. I believe they can win both Mexico and Poland to qualify.

In this case what you say is quite reasonable but seeing the condition of Germany they actually underestimated Japan in this match and it was seen very clearly when Rudiger ran away with Japanese players and of course this is very unfortunate.
Against Spain they had to throw things like this out because it was their arrogance in this match that made them lose.

Yes, it is true that Serbia is ranked far ahead of Saudi Arabia and Japan who win against Argentina and Germany.  In that case gamblers should not underestimate Servia to avoid the losses faced by underestimating Saudi Arabia and Japan. However, while not underestimating Serbia, the strength of Brazil shouldn't also be underestimated. Brazil is the most favorite team this year I think they will start with a win in the next match.

Serbia finished at the top of their qualifying round in UEFA, and that talks a lot about their strength. If Saudi Arabia can defeat Argentina, then there are good chances that Serbia will be able to defeat Brazil. But it will be an uphill task. Out of 32 teams participating in this tournament, Brazil is the team that has the best team balance. All of their components are equally good - forward, midfield, defense and goal-keeping. For Serbia to win, they need to find a weak link in the Brazilian armor. But given the number of upsets till now, I am hopeful of another one.
