Second match of third round qualifier Indonesia vs Australia.

Have good capital on the first match after success being draw Saudi Arabia and getting one away point make Indonesia team on confidence performance for second matches against Australia today.
Although can't dominance when facing Australia teams and last match at AFC Asian Cup 2024 round of 16 Indonesia team have defeated over 4-0 and believing with Indonesia team manager Shin Tae-yong give the first three points for our national team.

Australia national team on bad performance after defeating by Bahrain on the first qualifier match and playing in front of their fans, Indonesia team have solid defense performance after Maarten Paes success getting naturalization and make impressive debut match against Saudi Arabia after crucial penalty kick save. For second qualifier match, Indonesian seems defend their first composition against Australia looking all players have show their best performance.

Today Indonesia will play again against Australia and the match will take place in Indonesia in other words Indonesia has the advantage as the host, but in this match we can see that the bookies give Australia as the favorite team.
So far, Indonesia in several meetings with Australia has shown that they have not been able to win and basically from the results of several matches they have played, many consider Australia to be the favorite team.
But seeing what is currently happening with the Indonesian national team and seeing how they played before against Saudi Arabia, it can also be concluded that there is possibility for Indonesia to be able to play well and make Australia feel big surprise from Indonesia strength.
For my prediction, maybe Indonesia chance to win is still very small but they have the opportunity to hold Australia and share points.

Well, to be honest, if Australia doesn't win against Indonesia, then I don't think they should qualify for the world cup.

Indonesia is not a strong opponent, and anything else other than an Aussie victory should be out of the question if they have any hopes of qualifying to the world cup.

But I don't know, maybe they would also manage to qualify even if they lose or draw given that now they are going to have so many extra teams in the tournament.

What is happening with Autralia team right now? And like i always said, how much bets they destroy today again?

I dont think they are in risk of not being in the next world cup because for sure they are gonna start to win in sometime, but still a very strange to see this two first results for them.

Seems like the new generation is not so good or not fitting at all in this new team.

Australia is a much stronger team than Indonesia, but Indonesia's performance in recent matches has been really interesting. In football, if we can see a surprise in every match, it is a lot of fun, so in today's match, Australia vs Indonesia, although most people are rooting for Australia to win. It will be a big surprise if Indonesia can put up a strong performance against Australia in this match. Although Australia have won every match they have played against Indonesia so far, their victory will depend on how well Indonesia can perform in today's match. Moreover, I think Australia will win today's match as the favorite team and if you bet for Australia it will be possible to win.

The match between Indonesia and Australia ended before you made this post and even in the post above yours, Volgastallion talked about that.
Australia failed to win the match and it ended with a goalless draw.

no one remembers when Ronaldo didn't play as a striker and did some crazy things that were very similar to Messi in terms of quality so let's stop saying that technically Messi is superior to Cristiano, they are two very strong players without an era and we were lucky to have them in the same footballing period, simply spectacular

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two footballers who are football artists and football is an art for them. There is no way to highlight one of these two legendary players and disparage the other. Messi and Ronaldo are two stars who are the best in the world in both aspects and they are both the Greatest of All Time (GOAT). Messi has won the World Cup, Copa América and has the highest number of achievements in Europe, many fans consider Messi to be the better player than Ronaldo at times. But if Messi had been in Ronaldo's place, maybe there would not have been a World Cup or any other team title next to his name. 

In every tournament, Ronaldo has played alone for his team and has been able to bring the team to a good position, but it is never possible to win the World Cup on his own. However, if the technical aspects are considered in terms of followers on other social media including facebook twitter instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo is much ahead of Messi.

From the statistics we can see Australia is really dominate the game and since the beginning of match Australia was attempt to scored goal they even gets several chances to scores but unfortunately until the match ended they were failed to scores and Australia have to satisfied to share point with Indonesia and this result is make them only can occupy 5th place because Australia only can gets 1 point from 2 matches and for the host Indonesia this is their second times draw on 3rd round of qualification stages and although they are mediocre team in Group C but Indonesia cannot easily to beated

I am surprised by Australia's performance, this country always surprises me in some way in football, on the other hand I have seen that countries like Indonesia have given good surprises, today there are also qualifiers for the World Cup, first Colombia and Argentina play, and the weather is super hot, the state of Barranquilla is characterized by such a hot climate and that makes the players get saturated quickly, tired, dehydrated and that is something that would affect the Argentinians, that is one of the reasons why I say that the World Cup qualifiers in South America are so difficult and for me the hardest.

Have good capital on the first match after success being draw Saudi Arabia and getting one away point make Indonesia team on confidence performance for second matches against Australia today.

Talking about this group, China was weaker than we could expect to see from then and they lost the game against Saudi Arabia while I think their coach will get fired from this team soon because of the results he got there so far. Australia was another they were worse than we could ever imagine and so far in the two games they had they couldn't win a game and they had one loss and one draw.
There is the chance to see Australia not being in the 2026 World Cup if they continue in the bad performance we saw from them.

Second match of third round qualifier Indonesia vs Australia.

Really salute Indonesia. This time they managed to hold Australia to a draw.
Man of the match:


Maybe there are still shortcomings, especially in Indonesia's front line, where they wasted many opportunities for shots. But on the other hand, the team is getting more solid, and this is a very good achievement for the national team. Oh yes, especially Maarten Paes, really, he saved the goal from various Australian attacks. At least, he made crucial 5 saves.

Australia seemed good enough in this game. The only problem is that they lacked of proper finishing, and indonesia's goal keeper was on fire. He saved lots of golden chances by us, and it makes us lose two points again. It's kinda bad for us caused by the hard match is awaiting us.

If Australia doesn't win the next game against China, our chance to qualify will be almost gone.



Australia is now being placed at the fifth. The problem is that they're gonna face hard games. They have not yet played against Japan and Saudi that potentially give them 0 points, too.

[bering]

For CONMEBOL zone i have seen some of surprising results today because some of the favourite teams such as Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil were unable to beat their opponents especially for Brazil because they are expected can beat Paraguay and as usual people have been concern about Brazil front lines because in this match the players such as Vinicius, Rodrygo and Edrick performing poorly because although Brazil was dominate the match but they were unable to gets much opportunities to scores which this is dissapoint and this result is make Brazil only can occupy 5th place so this is serious alert for Dorival Júnior to improved Brazil performance and next match against Chile they should be able to win

I am surprised by Australia's performance, this country always surprises me in some way in football, on the other hand I have seen that countries like Indonesia have given good surprises,

Yes Australia football team did not perform as expected they surprised everyone. But Indonesia's performance really surprised us as they drew two matches in a row in the AFC World Cup qualifiers. Earlier they drew 1-1 against Saudi Arabia and lost 1-0 to Bahrain.

today there are also qualifiers for the World Cup, first Colombia and Argentina play, and the weather is super hot, the state of Barranquilla is characterized by such a hot climate and that makes the players get saturated quickly, tired, dehydrated and that is something that would affect the Argentinians, that is one of the reasons why I say that the World Cup qualifiers in South America are so difficult and for me the hardest.

Four Latin American teams faced off on the same night in South American football's World Cup qualifiers. But in those matches only the Latin American teams have lost. Colombia football team defeated Lionel Messi's Argentina 2-1 at home in the World Cup qualifying match, Argentina's 12-match unbeaten run came to an end with the loss against Colombia. This victory is a strong revenge for Colombia Because Argentina beat Colombia in the Copa America final to win the title. Along with Argentina, Brazil lost to Paraguay. We previously saw Brazil beat Paraguay 4-1 in the Copa America group stage match against Paraguay. Paraguay then made a great comeback with a win against Brazil. On the other hand, another Latin American football team, Chile, was defeated by Bolivia but managed to draw comfortably in Uruguay.

The outcome of the match between Paraguay and Brazil was the surprise of the CONMEBOL games. With the players Brazil has, one would have expected it to be a cheap game. But quality players don't always lead to good results. But from the statistics, I would say that the Brazilian should have won the game based on the ball possession. But it also showed that although Paraguay were outclassed, they defended and also attacked well. They had nine shots, and two were on target. It is hard to believe that players like Vinicius, Rodrygo and Edrick will be in a team without scoring at least one goal but that's football.

It seems that they feel the weight of wearing the Brazilian national team jersey. The difference in quality of these players in their clubs is impressive, and when they play for Brazil, it seems like an amateur team. It is very, very bad to watch a Brazilian national team game. It seems like a team without determination, without blood, without pride. Terrible! The current Brazilian national team is a total nightmare. Dorival Junior is completely incompetent, he can't even give this team a tactical scheme.

Paraguay vs Brazil amazing me till now.
How the mighty falling. Though Paraguay is a strong team in the international football game but when Brazil was strong in years back, Paraguay can't beat Brazil but those players are not in the team and the new ones are not skillful enough to defend the national team again. But if good coach comes in they can still do well. The game ended with 1-0 against Brazil and from the stat of things Brazil did well in the game yet Paraguay won the match. D. Gomez scored the goal and got yellow card in the game. Paraguay got 4 yellow cards and Brazil got 2. Paraguay keeper saved 3 goals and that shows that Brazil dominate the match but they were not lucky to score.

Japan and Saudi Arabia are heavy opponents that make Australia have difficulty dealing with them if they are judged by two matches that they have played each.
The surprise in Group C is found in the Indonesian National Team. From two matches, Indonesia managed to get 2 points or even 2 points obtained when dealing with Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Indonesian national team fans including I really want Indonesia to qualify for the World Cup because this is a long -awaited history.
Indonesia has the opportunity to get additional points when facing Bahrain and China even though when facing Japan after the match vs. Bahrain and China is not certain to end in a draw like against Saudi Arabia and Australia.

[Volgastallion]

I dont really have more words to Brazil, is a disaster, yesterday i saw the game against Paraguay and believe me, Brasil do NOTHING in the game against a weak Paraguay and Paraguay in some parts of the game makes Brazil seems patetic, and this Paraguay is not full of stars like the one who was in the world cup of 2010.

I really think Vinicus doesnt deserve the ballon d Or because of his poor performance in the national team.

[bitgolden]

We our previous generation and our future generation will remember the names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi as long as they watch football games. They are two of the greatest legendary players of all time. We often argue and compare these two players, some say Ronaldo is the best and some say Lionel Messi is the best. In fact none of these two have achieved less than the other so they are ahead of the whole football world. If we compare individual achievements and titles between these two players, then Messi is ahead. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo is ahead in terms of fan followers and goals.

But yes Messi is a self-sufficient player in his own football career because he lacked one trophy in his career and that was the World Cup. Messi has won that elusive trophy in 2022 FIFA World Cup but Ronaldo is yet to touch the World Cup. For which he may feel incomplete. But he is still a legendary player and the highest goalscorer in football history.

I still think that Messi was wildly more talented, it wasn't even remotely close to me and I think Messi was better, but I also understand people who say that Cristiano Ronaldo was better as well, it's totally understandable and I won't be getting involved in that part.

I think Messi didn't even care as much as Ronaldo did, so I would understand why people would prefer Ronaldo. If you told me which one is more of an "idol" or a role model, I would say Ronaldo is definitely better, dude is 40 years old and still taking care of his body, not eating badly, still working out like crazy and trying to be better than many of the 20 year old kids out there.

Look at Portugal, Ronaldo still striker and scoring goals there, the entire nation of Portugal, who loves football, couldn't produce a striker that can bench a 40 year old Ronaldo. Messi has this god given talent that is beyond anything Ronaldo can dream of, but Ronaldo worked incredibly hard to be who he is today, so I think Messi is more talented, but I do like Ronaldo a lot.
