FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[wiss19]

Brazil, though, currently their important players are not performing very well due to injuries. But I think they still have a chance to climb the points table for the World Cup qualifiers and if they can do well in the next matches then they will definitely qualify for the World Cup in 2026. If their key stars are injury free, then surely the team will be stronger and have their names in the World Cup qualifiers. Although Brazil is an expensive team, their current performance has kept them from reaching the semi-finals so far, which is unfortunate for them. However, with the current eleven, they will never be selected for the 2026 World Cup, that's why they must have experienced players in the team, only then Brazil can go to the World Cup qualifiers.

This is really sad for the Brazilian team. They now have to settle the equation for the 2026 World Cup. While Brazil is such a strong team, maybe they will be number 1 to 2 in the qualifiers, never thought that they will be number 5. Brazil's game against Argentina saw several key players absent from the field. An important player like Neymar could not play due to injury. Maybe if Neymar was on the field then maybe the result of the match could have been something different. Of course, I want the Brazilian team to play well in the next matches of the qualifiers. If they play well, they will secure the 2026 World Cup. Best wishes for the Brazilian team.

There is no doubt about Brazilian quality and performance on decline with their recent form is also concern for them management in Brazil, but now we have more than 33 months in next world cup and now next qualifier is going to play in September 2024 mean a long time for them to think about this all and bring improvement I never thought Brazil can miss World Cup main event just because of the qualifiers because as mentioned above we have six teams from CONMEBOL, and then we will have one extra half slot mean things are favorable for them to go into main round without any problem.

With this all we still have many matches in these qualifiers as well which can bring improvement into their spot for the qualifiers and Neymar could be also available if he recovers from his injury with few other injured players could be also take part into games which will boost their performance.

It's true, injury cannot be used as an excuse for defeat and I agree with that opinion. Even if you look at the depth of the squad that Brazil currently has, by playing only second-tier players they can secure a slot to escape the CONMEBOL zone. I think that if Ancelotti signing is actually realized, Brazil will be considered a favorite team in the 2026 edition, even though their current situation is far from good.

A team such as Brazil should not give the excuse of injury. If they are saying that absence of Neymar negatively impacting them, then they are relegating themselves to the level of Portugal, Belgium or Norway who are dependent on just one player. Argentina for example may not face much difficulty in winning matches even if Lionel Messi is absent. This is not something that we would expect from Brazil, who dominated association football for a long time. They have time till 2024 September to sort out the issues. If they are unable to do that even by that date, then things are not going to turn out well for them.

In a normal sense in think that they don't have to be depending on one particular player, depending on a particular player I think its not what makes Brazil to lose the match, even lionel Messi didn't even participate very well in that match and even though Messi was not present in the match Argentina would have defeated Brazil, or should I say that since this people didn't see Neymar the presence of Messi make them to be scared, so that's not good excuse, even though Neymar is absent at least they would have make the match to be draw, so Brazil knows what they did.

It is very unfortunate when Brazil makes this statement. In the past, Brazil was a collection of world football legends. Their 11 players are the best in the world. How can they now make statements as if they are very worried about Neymar's injury? I remember that Brazil didn't have a problem when Ronaldo or Roberto Carlos were injured because they had lots of legends.

Argentina is currently the best team in South America. I see that they don't really depend on Messi. Messi does have an impact but I see it more as motivation to play when they have Messi. There's nothing like relying the entire team on Messi.

It is very clear that Berazil always relies on Neymar as a reference when fighting against big countries, especially Argentina, which is actually the defending champion. Of course the coach and players think hard to get points in this match. In fact, Berazil has classy players and seems capable of containing Argentina, no matter what.  Whether Messi is there or not, it seems like Berazil will be able to get points, at least a draw is the main point, but if Berazil's teamwork takes advantage of his chances, he can win.

[Jody.Drummer]

~snip~
Yes you are right, but what I want to emphasize is the whole picture. Maybe if we look at their success in qualifying for Qatar smoothly it was a success for them, but we also can't look at just because they were successful at that time because in reality they also couldn't make it to the semifinals at that time because they had to be defeated by Croatia.
When I see a club or a country play, I look at the whole picture, and when I look at Brazil, despite them qualifying well, overall I don't see them showing their true colors.

Yeah, I mean, Brazil is a powerhouse, they will always perform pretty well. Of course sometimes they lose at some game like against Croatia, in the same way the Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia only to then continue to win the whole thing.

Every player in Brazil is highly skilled. It's always a big name but of course they cannot always be at their maximum. They have won the most world cups in the world, and they have qualified to every single one. No other country on earth comes close to that.

I am not saying that they are not strong, they are definitely one of the strong teams. Not only are they strong, they are also a country that produces many talented players, I don't have to mention them one by one because I'm also very sure you know it.
They're doing well, but there's a decline that they're showing, that's the point. With the composition of the players they have, it can be said that they are a country with many star players or often said to be a star-studded team. But what I regret is why with the composition of the players they have, they actually experienced a decline in performance.

[Volgastallion]

Im gonna said this one more time, this next world cup, is gonna be pure show, this new format is a shit for performance, only in late stages we are gonna see good matches, the new one is pure capitalism and commercial things a new machine to make money, more teams (no matter his level) more games, more people watching the games, so for me the world cup of footballs tart to loose some quality right now.

[QueenVera]

Brazil-Argentina match means a different kind of excitement as we have known for a long time but what happened in the latest Brazil-Argentina match can never be honorable for any team. Argentina fans were beaten and bloodied by security personnel in the gallery, and the incident drew widespread criticism worldwide. Not only Brazil's security personnel are to be blamed here, but we also noticed some ferocity from the Argentine fans. The security staff can take any decision to provide maximum security and that decision must be respected by the fans in the gallery but the Argentine fans got into an argument with the security staff without paying any attention to them. Arguing with the security personnel, the Argentine supporters got a little too rough on the security personnel and threw whatever they had in their hands at the security personnel, forcing the security personnel to charge with batons. But we would like to forget this kind of incident soon and hope that such unpleasant incidents do not happen in the future.

All the time Brazil and Argentina clashes have always been of fans' interests and everyone is always eager to see the outcome of the games no doubt sometimes the games have ended fairly without mishaps and some other times, there's been chaos between the fans during or after the game, their last clash wasn't an exemption but this time it was between hyper active fans and stadium security personnels.

 On a normal ground, it's very wrong attacking a security personnel at the dispersion of his duty and now this said attack by these fans led to a fair provocation who had to retaliate and force back order to the place and it led to rowdiness, for me the security only reacted out of provocation but the fan acted insolently and should be given an appropriate punishment,

 I really don't know how the rule works there but if it's to be judged fairly, then the fan was a bigger culprit. His act alone, posed a security threat so in the security personnel's defense, he was only reacting to security threats in rhe gallery and definitely he was left with no option than to do all within his power to prevent the threat from breaking out into a full stadium interruption, the matter should be looked into and the fan be served his appropriate punishment.

[KTChampions]

Yes, I understand, sometimes absolutely incredible results happen, but the longer the distance, the more unlikely they are. There are 12 games ahead, which is 5 games more than in the Champions League playoffs. And as we know, the Champions League is always won by the same clubs, although the distance is shorter and we can assume that the dispersion will be greater.
In general, I have not checked, but I am sure that the bookmakers quote the probability of Brazil qualifying as 1.01. Moreover, taking into account the fact that the bet will be played only in 2025, we can say that this is a negative coefficient (lower than inflation).

Ok but this is where I don't know enough about the national teams in South America. I know that Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are really strong, but I also thought that most of the other teams are at least not weak. Maybe if I can give an example, would you say that the game Brazil against Chile is about the same as Manchester City against Young Boys Bern? This is just to get an idea where to rank those teams in terms of strength. But I have been of the opinion that there is a certain baseline strength in South American teams that should never be underestimated and that those teams are occasionally able to take away points from the favorites. But this "occasional" could turn into a problem for Brazil now.

I don't know the strength of the Young Boys  And I'm no expert on South America, but from what I know, Venezuela should drop into the bottom four and most likely the bottom four will be Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru and one of the Paraguay/Chile pairs. If we take separate games, then these teams have chances against Brazil, probably even better than 1 in 10, but if we take the distance, I would not even bet on 1 in 100.

Neymar happens to be one od Brazil biggest shot currently because he has really played a good role in helping the Brazilian team win some games they would rather consider tough especially when they are playing against bigger and tougher nations such as Argentina and others.

Brazil is Also know for having good and brilliant young talents in football over the years because they are a nation know for their love for the games of football I. Their country but they sometimes lack proper development of these talents and carrier but nevertheless I'm expecting they gradually build up new talents that will be ably to stand in the stade of Neymar and reduce their dependency on him especially when he retires.

Brazil feel so reluctant that is the course, its not that Brazil was depending on a Neymar, because Neymar is only one player and since its a player it can only occupy a space of one person, the losing of the match by Brazil is something that started from the arrangement of the match, so I believe very well that Argentina doesn't not feel a reluctant in any match that concerns them with all this big football countries they basically make sure that they have defeated their counterpart in any game, but the squad of Brazil is what makes everyone predicted that either Brazil win the match it becomes draw, but Argentina take advantages of Brazil because they came prepared.

I remember during the summer Ancelotti was very close to joining the Brazil team and even we re waiting to see him sign a contract with this team but in the end, he stayed in Real Madrid and even the president of Bazril started complaining about having any foreign coach and said they prefer to use Brazilian coaches instead of the coaches like Ancelotti. Now even he feels regret because the current situation in Brazil is not good at all.

I'm not too sure about that.

In my mind the next world cup will basically have a longer qualification period. That is, the first few matches of the world cup could be seen as qualification matches.

Those are still fun to watch, and they might be able to do something interesting with it, as a kind of inter-conference qualification for the next round for example. That could be fun to watch.

It seems to me that the supporters themselves are responsible for the torture that the supporters have been subjected to by the security personnel. The general public and the fans should help the security personnel to perform their duties properly but we did not notice that from the Argentine fans. I myself have been to stadiums many times but never seen such a rowdy crowd. When the security personnel told the supporters to calm down, the supporters started hitting the security personnel, on the contrary, the security personnel tolerated it for a long time but when the situation went beyond their tolerance, they resorted to lathi charge. Argentina fans were involved in an argument with Brazil fans that could have been worse had the security personnel not intervened. As the security personnel came to normalize the situation, the Argentine supporter should have helped the security personnel instead of arguing with them.

That's just your opinion, because the countries that will compete in the 2026 World Cup with a larger number of participants will still consider it a big event that is interesting to watch, and no matter how much you don't like the new format, it is not a benchmark for FIFA and the broadcast later, and if you say it's just a money maker, isn't that what has been happening in football for a long time, you can see how money is the main support for the World Cup, and also how money is the way the Arab League influences older players to play in the league to increase the quality and popularity of their league, so actually money is also needed to increase the quality.
Money is part of sport and all athletes apart from chasing titles also chase money so it has become a natural part of sport, and because of the money they will be able to earn they improve the quality of their game. You just need to turn off your television later if you don't see the quality of the World Cup matches later  .

[FanEagle]

The last 4 games were very bad, you are right, they didnt win any of them. Against Venezuela they should have win, but just before the end in minute 85 they got the 1:1 and play a drew. If they won that game, they would have been ahead of Argentina in the group, both with 9 points, but Brazil with more goals. After the game it got worse, losing vs Uruguay, Colombia and now Argentina. The next games are 9 months away, with the European Championship in Germany in between, which I think is the best thing for Brazil not to play at the moment.

Brazil started their qualifiers with a spectacular 5-1 win over Bolivia at the Estádio Olímpico do Pará in Belém. And then, in the next match they struggled but ended up with a 1-0 win against Peru. After that things went rapidly downhill for them. During the third match, they conceded a 1-1 draw against one of the weakest teams in CONMEBOL (Venezuela). They were leading with a margin of 1-0 till the 85th minute, before Eduard Bello made it 1-1 to give Venezuela a precious point against Brazil. Horrorfest followed, with loses against Uruguay (0-2), Colombia (1-2) and Argentina (0-1).  

I think Brazil will be fine, they may have a bad period right now but that doesn't mean that we are talking about anything that would be making them not go to World cup one day, they will go there, plus their COİNMEBOL situation will be fine too, even if they end up losing, that's fine, not like they win every single time, like Argentina won it last time, so it's fine.

This reminds me, Argentina did so well, they won Coinmebol first, then the world cup, we could say that it has been the greatest period in Argentian football for the longest time, that's really a great deal for them. I think we should be considering that an important situation and it could benefit them in the end. I hope that we could get to a point where we could see it grow.

I'm not too sure about that.

In my mind the next world cup will basically have a longer qualification period. That is, the first few matches of the world cup could be seen as qualification matches.

Yes, the World Cup competition will last longer with more matches and more time to spend, in fact I agree with your opinion.
Even though it takes longer and the first few matches are considered qualifying matches, at least it can be said to be new capitalism.
In the sense that more money comes in because more matches will bring in more spectators who will buy tickets and affect the financial development of organizers and those who have businesses in the area around the stadium that is used.

Those are still fun to watch, and they might be able to do something interesting with it, as a kind of inter-conference qualification for the next round for example. That could be fun to watch.

In fact, matches like that are not that interesting because they cannot bring together great teams, whereas matches can be really interesting and provide entertainment when the match is between two teams that both have quality and strength above the average team in general.
I sure the match will really erupt when it reaches the round of 16.

I admit that football has been infiltrated by capitalism. Everyone needs money. The organizers want profits, the national team wants to get big prizes, broadcast rights owners will also get more profits because there are more and more matches. I don't know whether this is good news or bad news for world football but in this day and age I think everything in this world will be influenced by capitalism itself.

If Brazil does not immediately improve, it is not impossible that Brazil will make a bad history in the next world cup and will not be able to go to the next World Cup. Moreover, among the teams that have competed in the World Cup, Brazil is the only team that has never missed a world cup. Brazil must immediately improve if they want to go to the world cup later. Brazil must immediately look for a quality coach because currently Brazil is managed by a temporary coach and it can be seen that Brazil's performance has decreased significantly. Moreover, currently Brazil is far behind Argentina, which is at the top of the CONMEBOL standings.

Brazil has been at their best all time and they've been able to secure spots in the FIFA world cup too, Asides that they've been able to be victorious in the continental tournaments and they seem as the major threat to Argentina, they've got quality players in their squad and these players have been doing their own part to take the team to competitions and have been victorious most times.

 For Argentina, they've been major continental champions, the last continental contest, they came out top and still went ahead to win the world cup, that's one great feat for a national team in a year. We await what this year holds for these two teams. Will they be able to come out tops in both contest, yes they will definitely make the contest tedious for each other.
