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

[Sithara007]

Congratulations to Uzbekistan. They managed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time ever, and yesterday they managed to defeat Kyrgyzstan by a margin of 1-0 (the lone goal was scored by Khojiakbar Alijonov). From Group A, Iran and Uzbekistan will qualify directly. As things stand, it looks like United Arab Emirates and Qatar will qualify for the fourth round. In Group B, South Korea has secured direct qualification. The battle for the second spot is between Jordan and Iraq. Group C is the most interesting group. Australia is still ahead of Saudi Arabia, but by just one point.

Saudi Arabia and also Australia are their strict competitors today because it is one of the strongest JAD is not a strange thing, what I regret is that Indonesia is that my own country appeared far worse than previous matches and yesterday and yesterday lost to Australian who were on the wisdom in reaching the World Cup ticket, I was very insecure and lost hope.

Kluivert is recorded as a bad coach with a series of results obtained when handling several teams. When Indonesia dreams of appearing in the World Cup and the dream begins to appear with the efforts that have been made, the management should not replace the figure who has built the foundation. It can be replaced, it should be better than STY, not like that.
But let's try to think positively that it is only the beginning and who knows Kluivert can fulfill the hopes that have long been desired by Indonesian football lovers.

This is indeed a prefix for him, Patrick might be in the adaptation phase but to be honest for me this is a rush decision in changing coaches, Indonesia looks much better before, even though it does not get a victory always but at least give a significant resistance to Australia, and yesterday got a defeat with the results of the first 5-1, that was a score that was too far and very disappointing, yes hopefully there will be improvements and can provide significant changes in the next matches.

The Brazilian team's victory was purely luck, a goal at the end of the game, but the defense gave the ball away in a completely bizarre game exit, in which a professional soccer player should never make a mistake... in the next game against Argentina, the Brazilian team will have 4 absences: Bruno Guimarães, Gabriel Magalhães, Gerson and Alisson. In my opinion, it will be a good opportunity to make money by betting on an Argentina victory.

LOL.. they were originally struggling at the 5th place, and now suddenly because of this win they have moved up to the second spot. I am still skeptical about their chances. It looks like they maybe able to qualify for the world cup, but what after that? They are really going to struggle in the knockout phase, against strong teams such as France and England. Gone are the days when Brazil used to dominate the international football scene. Now they are not even in the top-5.  

Maybe all of this was correct, moreover we feel that this match may have been entirely Brazil's destiny because the goal was scored in the final stages of the game. I am also doubtful about their chances because they are playing well in the qualifiers and have secured second place at the moment. But there is no guarantee that Brazil will be able to play well if they face a strong team in the World Cup. As we have seen the Brazilian team can no longer move forward like before, which makes them very nervous against strong teams. I used to see Brazil playing in many final matches, but currently their highest destination is the quarter-finals.

Australia is still ahead of Saudi Arabia, but by just one point.    

Groups B and C still have tight competition. namely group B between Jordan and Iraq and in group C there is still competition between Australia and Saudi Arabia. Usually Saudi Arabia rarely misses the World Cup. So they could get back up and catch the points that Australia has. Basically, Australia is also like a country that is often in the World Cup with their current Fifa ranking which is quite good, namely 26th, so Australia will most likely maintain their position. Well in essence it will be a fierce competition. It's just that in the next World Cup the number of teams that will take part will be 48 teams, compared to 32 teams previously. then the chances of both are still very high.

Today in the African qualifiers Nigeria will face Rwanda in a must win game because any thing short of victory will see them not having a chance of making it to the world cup, Nigeria has not been convincing because after three matches of play they have only three points so they have to win this game to stand a chance of qualifying for the world cup.


Rwanda has been fantastic in the qualifiers as they are second in the group and will like to consolidate on their standings by getting a good result at home against the super eagles of Nigeria this will not be an easy task as the Nigerian team is talking tough concerning this game

[aylabadia05]

Seven matches will compete in the next few hours in the UEFA World Cup qualification. England vs Albania will be the match of Group K which will be in the spotlight because this will be the first match Thomas Tuchel handled England.
Rashford is not registered as a Manchester United player who is included in the English squad but as an Aston Villa player despite his status as a loan player.

Of course, of the seven matches that will compete, the seven can be at stake. Analysis before betting in international matches is difficult compared to analyzing the match in the league.

The match between Saudi Arabia and China is currently underway and the score is still 0-0. And in this match, from the start, Saudi Arabia seemed to immediately be able to control the game. It just seems that both teams still have quite a hard time being able to make good attacks on their respective opponents' defense lines. In this match, I favor Saudi Arabia. And I'm pretty sure Saudi Arabia will win even if it's only by a narrow score. because I think Saudi Arabia has now improved. So I don't hesitate to bet on Saudi Arabia winning. What do you think about this match? Do you favorite one of them?

Saudi Arabia managed to win narrowly with a score of 1-0, they made good use of the advantage in the number of players, where one of the Chinese players received a red card at the end of the first half. From the match statistics, it can be seen that China was unable to provide significant resistance, they were not even able to release a single shot on target. Saudi Arabia should have been able to score many goals, because overall they dominated the course of the match.

Japan became the first team to secure their qualification for the 2026 World Cup, they lead the top of Group C with 19 points. In second place is Australia and followed by Saudi Arabia in third place. China has only managed to win 2 in 7 matches, and is currently ranked bottom of the standings.

Saudi Arabia indeed managed to take advantage of this match very well. China seemed unlucky because they had to lose one player when their team was in danger from the start. Saudi Arabia truly has many opportunities that it has failed to capitalize on. But in the end, in the second half, in the 50th minute, Saudi Arabia scored a goal. Then I thought there would be more than 1 goal. but it turned out that until the end there was only 1 goal. And China is currently ranked at the bottom of Group C. And that means China's chances are really hard to say they have a chance. But their points are the same as Bahrain and Indonesia, so that doesn't mean the opportunity doesn't exist. It's just that it's really difficult and the chances are slim that it's almost invisible.

Japan, Korea, Iran and Uzbekistan seem to be the 4 teams that have confirmed their seats in the World Cup. And regarding South Korea and Japan, it is not surprising because both of them are always at the World Cup at almost every World Cup held.

[Mate2237]

Great goal by oshimen as Nigeria has already taken the lead with in ten minutes of play this is the way to go about it because nigeria is really playing very well with a good control of the ball, am really impressed with the way the new coach because watching the difference in the way that the super eagles has played so far you can see that there is a big difference in the team


Even though that this the first game of the manager am really impressed because the team is really playing well and first impressions matters a lot too plus many Nigerians where not Happy with his signing as manager so he has to prove everyone wrong

[PremiumcryptoHub]

Before I had a blind belief about the Brazilian team that they wouldn't be able to win against Colombia, but they have already managed to win.Actually, their team has star players, but they can't play like that when they get to the national team.I mentioned earlier that Rafinha is currently playing very well at Barcelona, so if he were to come into the team, he might not be able to play like that anymore. But my conversation about this player was not correct because he scored the first goal against Colombia. It is satisfying for us that Brazil is making little progress in the World Cup qualifiers. In my opinion Argentina may celebrate a great victory against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifying match tomorrow.

Competition between Jordan and Iraq is very interesting. These two are not the teams that you would expect to be seen at the FIFA World Cup. But this time during the AFC Qualifiers, both the teams have done well. And in Group C, I agree that it is a direct fight between Australia and Saudi Arabia for the second direct qualifier spot. The crucial match will be played on 10th June, between Saudi Arabia and Australia. The winner of this match will probably qualify for the world cup, while the loser will progress to round 4 of qualifiers.

Brazil team has taken the second position in the points table, Brazil has performed exceptionally well against Colombia and they have won and collected three points. If Brazil can manage their game properly then it is definitely possible to reach a good stage this season and be able to compete with Argentina. Since Brazil is currently four points behind Argentina, since Argentina and Brazil will face each other in the next match, the team that wins here will have the advantage. If Brazil can win this match, then I think we have changed a lot in the game of Brazil and they will be able to compete.

i am confident that Brazil can do well, even if i honestly give them a negative outlook. I think Argentina win easy this match.
Let's hope they can at least play a decent game against Argentina and show their worth on the pitch, we're not asking for much.

[irhact]

After all the crisis and unsure assertions around Brazil, they have been able to qualify after a 2-1 victory against cloumbia today, vinicius jnr and raphina scored the goals that kept Brazil at the leading position in that game and further brought them up to the second position behind Argentina in that game, the game was almost looking balanced but Brazil were the better side in all, they had a really strong performance as Statistically they appeared like they took some dominance at some point because they had much more possession than their opponent and made more attempts than their opponents,  both teams did qualified but congratulations to Brazil.

I am not very confident about Brazil performance honestly. They are fluctuating a lot and a victory today doesn't mean they are back on track. They will qualify for the World Cup but they are weaker than many European teams and Argentina.
The problem in Brazil is happening for other nations too with a younger generation taking the place of the older ones without having their qualities.

Honestly, I don't see the Brazilian national team improving at all in the future. They may be able to win games with some luck, but they will hardly be able to play well because they have limitations in the national coach, on the other hand, Argentina is not doing well either, with Messi injured.

With Di Maria retired, the Argentine national team has not yet managed to have quality players who can replace Messi and Di Maria, so I see the Brazil vs. Argentina game as being a game that could end in a draw and it will not be a great game.

Brazil always finds a method to qualify for the World Cup, they always give their all, and they have many crucial players in the country who can assist the country win numerous championships. Vini Jr. really saved the day for Brazil and helped them qualify. What a great goal! I expected the game to end in a draw because I saw Colombia defending because they thought they could no longer win the match, but sadly, Vinicius Jr. showed up in the game and gave Brazil the lead. Let's see how Argentina performs tomorrow, and I'm confident Argentina will be the favorite to win the game. They have key players and will do their best to qualify for the World Cup next year, and they will most likely win the trophy again, but it will be difficult because I don't think they will force Argentina to win it back-to-back. The rest of the world will try harder to stop them if they get the chance to qualify against Uruguay, but they will almost certainly qualify.

Well it is worth noting something, the match yesterday Brazil were very lucky, a genius of Vinicius was the one they could take advantage of to win, otherwise the match would have been tied, to be Brazil I would say that they have to throw out the Coach, they played very badly, the only good thing was to see the first 10 minutes of Brazil, and then after the 90 minutes plus the 10 minutes added, but this Brazil is not the dominant Brazil we know, they have to do something and urgently.

However they have to integrate Ney, even if it's just to give morale to the team, they have to do something different.

Brazil back in the days were a side no team wants to play against but today it's just in the shambles that all of that has become history despite the quality of star players they have across different leagues in Europe. Their 2-1 victory over Colombia was clearly a narrow escape with the 3 points. Colombia had many shots on goal than Brazil but lacked the grit to convert them to goals.
Perhaps the Brazilian coach too is also not doing great in his position to spur this boys to high performance which I think something should be done about that because the world cup would be much tougher than what we have now in the qualifiers, and with this performance rate, Brazil would definitely not go far near the semi's.

[Jossque]

South Africa managed to beat their opponent Lesotho and increased their points to 10.We can say that they did not have much difficulty against Lesotho.South Africa was the dominant side from the beginning of the match, but the goals came 4 minutes apart in the second half.
Rwanda, on the other hand, could not win at home against Nigeria.Nigeria, who won with Osimhen's 2 goals, managed to get their first win in the group and increased their points to 6.
The matches to be played in 3 days are important for both teams.Benin will face South Africa while Nigeria will play Zimbabwe.Nigeria needs to win this match for sure, seeing the struggle of the top 2 ranked teams as an advantage.

[iBaba]

Today in the African qualifiers Nigeria will face Rwanda in a must win game because any thing short of victory will see them not having a chance of making it to the world cup, Nigeria has not been convincing because after three matches of play they have only three points so they have to win this game to stand a chance of qualifying for the world cup.


Rwanda has been fantastic in the qualifiers as they are second in the group and will like to consolidate on their standings by getting a good result at home against the super eagles of Nigeria this will not be an easy task as the Nigerian team is talking tough concerning this game

The Nigerian Super Eagles have made me proud this evening with the two goals that they secured in today's match. Nigeria was able to stand the pressure of securing a 3 points as they sit in the bottom of the table standing. Despite the Super Eagle guys taking the game home to Kigali, they still lashed the Rwanda players. I expected that the super eagle guys would be stronger than the Rwandan squad, so I was expecting more goals, nonetheless, they have won with two goals scored by Osimhen both in first half. I hope the eagles will still be stronger than they are because they haven't shown that strength of a team who wants to take the trophy home this tournament.

Congrats to Nigeria. Honestly I'm surprised that this is only their first win in 5 matches. South Africa is natural favorite in their group but I think Nigeria should be in second place here. They had 3 draws and a lose against Benin which is pretty surprising. This Rwanda win will be the start of their winning series I believe. Osimhen started to score, they have great attackers like Lookman and Iwobi. They'll collect more points.
