Argentina must win against Mexico today. If Argentina can't win against Mexico in today's match, Argentina will be eliminated from the second round.Argentina lost 2-1 with Saudi Arabia in the first match, Argentina fell far behind in points.Argentina must win by a huge margin against Mexico today to have any chance of going through to the second round.And even if Mexico and Argentina draw in today's match, the equation will change.Let's see today's match between the two teams which team can win?

At least it was as expected where Argentina won the match over Mexico so that it has put Argentina in second place in the group standings. But Argentina doesn't need to be happy just yet because Argentina still has to fight for another win when it comes to dealing with Poland in the next game. Because Saudi Arabia, which currently also has the same points as Argentina, also has the opportunity to unseat Argentina if they can win by scoring more goals in the next game.

At first I doubted Argentina would win because their game in the first half was boring fortunately, Messi goal can motivate them to play better Argentina's struggle has not stopped they have to get another point in the next match because Saudi and Poland could overtake them in the standings And yes Messi deserves credit his contribution today brought Argentina to the safe zone although not the first place.

I will be honest that when the head coach of the Argentina national team Lionel Scaloni made his substitutions in the second half in an attempt to strengthen the game of his team, I jokingly had a crazy idea that it would also be possible to replace Messi, who did not show anything noticeable on the football field. But it is clear that it was all in jest, because a player like Messi can turn the course of the whole match in a few minutes, which happened later when Lionel gave confidence to his partners with his goal and moved his team away from the edge of the abyss. But in any case, the game of the Argentine national team and specifically Messi is not impressive yet, despite the victorious outcome of this match.

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.

I agree that Germany's early exit is possible and this is now second time in a row Germany is going home early after end of group stage which is showing now German's soccer quality is also on decline, and they need to do some improvement for the future which is essential for them if they want alive into top ranks but now about this match against Spain after watching first matches of both teams most chances Germany has not chance but if we have some miracle then still things could be not easy because Japan is going to win against Costa Rica and Spain's first win against Costa Rica by score of 7 - 0 is big which will help them for having spot into next round with Spain has to beat Japan and now Germany needs to win against Spain and Costa Rica look like things are never been easy for any team in current situation but most chances Germany going home early again is written on the wall.

Well, I still wouldn't say that Germany would have to go, I think that Spain beat Costa Rica because Costa Rica really didn't show any football, that seemed like a festival of goals against them, I believe that Germany can beat Spain if they leave On the one hand, the internal problems and with Qatar in general, I think they are not very comfortable not being able to wear the famous "one love" bracelet, which has made it very clear that the World Cup is not for political and other propaganda , I think that what is important here is to play good football, the rest is the country's problem, something that does not concern anyone else, however, I have thought that this game will be one of the best to keep in mind that they can make a difference a before and after.

Germany will play everything here, there is no room for less, and I think that if they turn out as I think they will, they will pass over Spain like an overwhelming one, it is a final for Germany, they have to survive.

Luis Enrique: 'We cannot afford to underestimate Germany'

La Roja opened their 2022 World Cup with a 7-0 victory over Costa Rica, but Germany suffered a shock 2-1 loss to Japan, leaving Hansi Flick's side in a difficult spot when it comes to reaching the round of 16.

If Costa Rica fail to overcome Japan in the earlier match in the section, then a victory for Spain would see them advance to the knockout round with a game to spare.

What I was saying, a lion like Germany should not be underestimated, we do not know how they come out to play, I only imagine that they will come out with everything.

I Agree too, and my bet is on the Spain team, which already had an excellent performance in its debut... it completely dominated the game, had several chances to score, had more than 80% possession of the ball, and barely saw Costa Rica reach the your defense field. Obviously the 7 goals were well deserved and I doubt that any other team will be able to surpass that score in this edition of the world cup.
Spain are excited, the players are in high spirits and will do anything to win and confirm their place in the group stage by eliminating Germany.
Germany, on the other hand... got off to a bad start, losing to Japan. I think that in the best case, it should get at most a draw.

Messi may not be on his best shape and even today his performance was not very good either, and there are even rumors that he may be injured, but despite all of that you need someone like Messi on the field.

Before Messi scored Argentina was not really playing that well and the number of scoring opportunities they had were on the low side, but Messi just when Argentina needed him the most was able to score on his own, after that the game was very easy for Argentina as Mexico was not able to even try to make a comeback after they found themselves at disadvantage on the scoreboard.

Mexico recorded four yellow cards during the game, and Argentina defeated Mexico 2:0. Argentina's performance improved after fans were disappointed in Lionel Messi's performance during their previous match, and once again Messi has proven himself deserving. E. Fernandez scored the second goal while receiving an assist from Messi. Lionel Messi is becoming more dedicated during the World Cup. I hope the same for Portugal. The last game Ronaldo performance was poor too.

Portugal was winning the first round of match unlike barcelona which was not able to take full points from saudi arabia. that makes barcelona must try even harder rather than portugal. Portugal will be facing uruguay. this will become a tough game for portugal. i hope that cr7 will give big contribution to the its club. Let's see how portugal will be preventing uruguay to win the match and portugal will able to get a good result like argentina in the upcoming match. I take portugal in this match consider the first round's performance that makes me feel satisfied with portugal.

Senegal will qualify. They are a bit strong and there will be no competition for them in the group. The African champions are up to the task and Edourd Mendy and Sadio Mane will seal their country into the next round. Although Qater hopes to qualify, because it's a home advantage for them. You can't tell me that those who host the World Cup will be knocked out in the group stage, which is too early. Say Senegal, Netherlands or Qater will hope to qualify, but that is a closed ticket for Senegal to advance to the next round. which country will qualify from the group stage and you just have to predict which country leads to the next round

[harum93]

Group A seems to be the easiest, the Netherlands can definitely qualify. Group B will be easy for England to advance. Group C is my favorite Argentina and Mexico. Group D France of course and maybe Group E Spain Germany I hope. Group F Belgium, Group H Brazil and Group F Portugal. I didn't expect one of the favorites to get out of the group stage. I think they are in a group that looks easy for them to get past the group stage. This group does not have many strong football countries except the Netherlands. The host nation Qatar can cause difficulties for the opponents due to the host's advantage as they are not known to be strong in the game. Ecuador also doesn't look like a very big challenge for the Netherlands and Senegal, it's an 11 man game and qualifying for the world cup is a joke.

I also totally agree with your prediction, for group A the Netherlands has definitely managed to secure a ticket to the round of 16, because in their last game they only faced the key Qatari jury team, on paper they will definitely win easily, according to my prediction which will be runner-up in group A is Ecuador, because Ecuador has managed to collect 4 points while Cameron has only collected 3 points, so in the match Ecuador only needs a draw to win a ticket to the round of 16, I am also sure that Ecuador will be able to withstand Cameron's attack because I've seen their defense against the Dutch national team and they also managed to hold the Dutch national team with a score of 1-1.

Argentina will qualify to the round of 16 if they can beat Poland, which I'm pretty sure that they're also strong. Would be looking forward to watch the big clash between the top countries. Leo Messi versus Robert Lewandowski, just high profile players on different levels. Mexico won't make it out and I can still say same thing for Saudi Arabia who are one of the dominated team in the group but they don't have a good finish.

Messi delivered a Man of the Match performance in Argentina's much-needed win over Mexico to keep Argentina's hopes alive in FIFA World Cup. World Champions France may challenge Argentina in the Round of 16 if they finish second in Group C. I just can't envision what will happen next.

As far as I am concerned, Argentina is sure to qualify from their group. However, what should happen if Mexico beats Saudi Arabia and Poland draws Argentina? With Poland leading the group, they will qualify for the next round if they draw Argentina, but Argentina must win to avoid any further calculations. Therefore, I am looking forward to the matchup between Leo Messi and Robert Lewandowski.

The Mexican players did everything right. But they made one mistake. They gave Messi 3 steps and 3 seconds. When you get distracted for a moment, what happens next is known. Argentina was completely bang average till Messi's brilliance brought them back on track. Without Messi, there is no team in there, just a bunch of players huffing and puffing. They need to improve, if they intend on staying in Qatar till at least mid December.

Mexico is not without opportunities, it's just that the opportunities are quite heavy to get.
if you want to qualify, Mexico must win big enough from Saudi Arabia. at least 4-0. and that also had to face Argentina to lose without scoring a goal.
Saudi Arabia also still has a chance. they need to win and also hope Poland and Argentina beat each other. all teams must be focused for their last game. the situation is the same as the team in group B.

The current champion France broke the curse of being eliminated from the group stage of the next World Cup if they become the World Cup champions. France became the first team to reach the last 16 by beating Denmark 2-1 on November 26. The current world champion France is flying to the World Cup with an injury-plagued team. France have confirmed the last sixteen of the Qatar World Cup as the first team to rely on Kylian Mbappe. As a result, they broke the curse of the World Cup champions being excluded from the group stage in the next World Cup. Mbappe scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the first match and scored a pair of goals against Denmark. Bluera crossed the Denmark barrier with his goal. Along with that, Mbappe sat next to PSG teammate Lionel Messi in the number of goals.

Now the Japanese national team has competed again against Costa Rica with a match that has lasted 12 minutes. And from the statistics of possession for a while it's almost the same, and let's see if the Japanese national team is able to win again today considering that they are in a good position in the group standings for now. Meanwhile, Costa Rica still has to fight for points because previously Costa Rica lost a lot to the Spanish team.

Today, Germany and Spain will face each other and for Germany it would be ‍for survival in the World Cup. Germany will suffer a humiliating group stage exit if they lose their match against Spain at the Al Bayt Stadium. It remains to be seen how much they can improve after Germany's 2-1 loss to Japan. German coach Hansi Flick said on Saturday that "We have a team that has quality, that can implement things and we are very positive about it. We have to come into this game against Spain with courage and belief in our quality" but i deserve that as both the teams are strong it is very difficult to win this match against Spain.

Germany disappointed us with the first match won by Japan, on the same day, Spain won Costa Rica 7 goals to nothing. Japan is playing with Costa Rica with first half gone but no goal yet scored, even if Japan still manage to win, it shows how Spain has been playing good. I know Germany will tighten weakness and play better, but if I should just use my analysis for it, I am strongly going for Spain, although this season world cup as been surprising from the beginning.

[Cryptmuster]

Germany will probably be eliminated from the group stage. Because both Spain and Japan teams performed very well in their first matches. Germany's performance was not very good. It doesn't look like they can win against Spain with such a performance. Spain is playing well and their match strategy is very good. Germany's future will depend on their performance in the upcoming matches. On the other hand, Japan will play against Costa Rica tomorrow. Unless Japan is very unlucky, Japan will not lose any points in this match. I think Japan and Spain will qualify after tomorrow's match.

Spain has always been a very difficult opponent for Germany, even when Germany was at its best, and now it will be even more difficult for Germany. A defeat against Japan could be fatal for Germany as Spain is unlikely to lose today. And if now Japan wins in match with Costa Rica will greatly increase their chances of reaching the play offs, but so far the game is equal, waiting for the second half.

Nothing is impossible today , and we have seen this now already in the game from Costa Rica against Japan where Costa Rica has won with 1 scored goal.
So its all open again in this group and i think we will see a different and better German team against Spain today laters and i guess German will win this.

True, Germany, Costa Rica and Japan still have no chance of qualifying, not with Spain who are already safe to qualify for the next round, if they hold Germany to a draw tonight, and from these three countries will try to increase the goal difference if they want to qualify for the round next, because later it will be determined how many goals from these three countries to make sure they qualify for the next round, but I hope Japan can accompany Spain to advance to the round of 16.
