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

[silpersurfer]

Did you watch yesterday's match between Norway and Moldova? In my opinion, it was a very exciting match because Norway scored a lot of goals. Norway won against Moldova with a score of 11-1. We saw that the Norwegian players played really well, which ultimately made it difficult for Moldova to break through Norway's defense. Of course, the player who scored the most goals against Moldova was Haaland, who netted 5 goals and provided 2 assists. He performed exceptionally well and consistently capitalized on opportunities, which ultimately enabled Norway to score numerous goals against Moldova.

Fortunately, I bet on Norway's victory in that match, which ultimately earned me a profit. Did you also win your bets on that match? I saw that Norwegian fans were very happy because the team they supported won the match. It seems that now, any team that faces Norway must be careful because Norway is certainly a strong team. Now, Moldova must truly improve their performance because, of course, Moldova fans want to see Moldova perform well and always win when they play. Now, Norway is undoubtedly very happy because they won with a good score.

The Norwegian national team has truly demonstrated its dominance in the European Zone Group I World Cup qualifiers. Erling Haaland and his squad have not only managed to sweep up three points in the five matches they have played, but they have also achieved remarkable victories, especially in yesterday's match against Moldova. The outcome was predicted beforehand that the Norwegian national team would easily defeat Moldova, but I never imagined the final score would be 11-1.

Haaland delivered an outstanding performance with five goals in that match, but equally impressive was T. Aasgard, who came on as a substitute in the 64th minute to replace Horn Myhre and went on to score three goals in the match, achieving a hat-trick.

Erling Haaland is a beast in front of the goal post he makes efficient use of his size to intimidate defenders at every goal given opportunity he has.

Contributing five goals in Norway 11-1 victory on Moldova Haaland now has scored a total of 310 goals in 378 games in all competitions, and 48 goals in 45 games for his own country. No way this isn't amazing goal ratio.

With Haaland performance in this Norwegian team they will be a squad to watch in the world cup tournament cause they proving to be a strong team that can play against any opponent  and overshadow them.

Now, Norway is undoubtedly very happy because they won with a good score.

I did see the highlights and, yes, goals are fun, but I could not get rid of the feeling that it was a mismatch right at the very beginning. Norway is confident. They have defeated Italy 3-0, Israel 4-2 away, and then they whop Moldova 11-1. That is a team that is rolling through qualifiers with 15/15 points and no sign of slowing down. And, quite yeah, I enjoyed Odegaard pulling strings as much as Haaland scoring. Two assists and one goal of his own, he effectively controlled the pace while Haaland simply tore holes in the backline

I do sympathize with the players and fans of Moldova. Their club team had already lost to the first ever win of San Marino in Europe only a month ago, and this was enough to demoralize them. You could see the collapse coming when they conceded at the beginning of Oslo. They must be rebuilt on a new level: defensive form, communication, trust... everything is lacking. Their coach walked away afterward, no wonder

Long-term, Norway looks scary. However, I will not hype until they can demonstrate it against top-10 countries. They have historically dominated minnows (San Marino 10-0 in 1992, Armenia 9-0 in 2022, now Moldova 11-1), but have not been able to transfer that into World Cup appearance. To bettors and fans, that is the most important: do not simply buy into the scoreline, look at who it is versus

That's an interesting performance goal scored in a single match, Erling Haaland is indeed a good striker and a goal scoring machine both for his country and the club side, even when during his stay at Borussia Dortmund to current stay at Manchester city, Haaland has never slept in the front of the goal, his a very active striker when it comes to scoring goals, and always in a hungry for goals.

Anyway, it will be good to watch Erling Håland in FIFA World Cup. Last time Norway failed to qualify and therefore he missed out. But this time, qualification seems guaranteed. They were placed in a tough group along with Italy and Israel, but even then they managed to get on the top of the points table. Three more matches remain for Norway, but irrespective of the outcome of these matches, I don't think that the standings are going to change. 3-0 win against Italy on 6th June proved to be very crucial.

[Gost ms]

Argentina's overall gameplay was not good in this match. Losing against Ecuador was definitely a failure for Argentina. Otamendi's red card in the 31st minute of the match had a bad effect on Argentina's overall gameplay. Anyway , at the beginning of the second half , Ecuadorian midfielder Caicedo was sent off after getting a red card. After that, we did not see a good performance from argentina's players. Argentina's players did not play well in the second half. The interesting thing is that Argentina could not make a  single on target shot in this match.

Red cards are one psychological drain most time for players and even the coach mostly if the person getting the red card was supposed to be a key player or has a role for that particular game, the teams rhythm will be distorted and they may in some cases result to been more defensive and I suspect that was the case with Argentina but they still have a chance at the world cup so it is not so much of a problem for them.they will only have to improve for subsequent games so that they do not get to suffer such again.

Yes you are right. If a good player of a team gets a red card it will create a very bad situation for their whole team. Because if that player is an offensive player, then there will be no one to play in his position, even if another player is called in his place, he may not be able to do anything as good. A red card can completely change a team. For example if the best player of the team gets a red card then the team will not be able to do anything very well and the good player will not be able to play the match.

Norway is a very strong team now. We have seen them perform well in the World cup qualifiers. They won 4-0 against Italy. They even won 4-2 against Israel. And they won 1 - 0 against Estonia. The interesting thing is that Haaland has scored in all three matches. He is in great form and has become the most important player in the Norwegian squad. I do not remember the last time I saw Norway lose. We have seen a well-organized game from them in every match. Norway has a chance to do well in the next World cup.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Is gonna be super strange to see Norway again in a world cup after so many years, and to be complete honest i think they have right now his golden generation, they never have this high level team, they have a good one back in the late 90 and early 2000 when it was Riise,Soljkaer, Flo and Solbakken, but know they have really top top players in the squad.

Why shall we feel so strange by seeing Norway finally achieved their wish to play in WC again? Man, that's a good news, and seeing Haaland plays in WC is one of my wish. They will be fine with their current golden generation. They obviously can compete with other football house nations in WC. I hope they will give a fight to the football house nations to prove they're worthy opponent.

[retreat]

Brazil's defeat to Bolivia suggests that Brazil's current form is no longer the dominant one of previous years, characterized by high creativity and exceptional player skill. They now appear too rigid and tend to resemble the playing style of European teams. Coupled with Ancelotti's ineffective strategy, Brazil's performance has fallen short of expectations. This is quite disappointing, especially for those accustomed to watching the Brazilian national team perform brilliantly, and now they appear to have lost their style and are playing without a soul.

[Adiljutt156]

Brazil vs Bolivia match very bad, Brazil had 3 shots in the whole match, while Bolivia managed to have 10 shots in total, And Brazil lost today against Bolivia by just 0-1 goals,. but main think is that, Brazil is currently in 5th position, so since they were safe, so they probably didn't give much importance to the match, And that's what happened to Argentina, since they were already in first place, they didn't need to win the match, so none of them gave much importance to the matches.

We expected excellent effort by Brazil national football team but they could not perform well as have expectations and Brazil team lost last match as that team could not do any goal in this match and opponent team did 1 goal in this match and we saw difficult match but at the end Bolivia  football team won the match because opponent team score was zero at the end.  The possession percentage of Brazil team was excellent which was 58 percent and passes of that team were also more in number.The possession percentage of Bolivia  team was very low in this match which was 42 percent and passes of that team were low in this match which were only 308 but they got opportunity and did goal at 49 minutes at penalty.

[IjawMan]

Erling Haaland is a beast in front of the goal post he makes efficient use of his size to intimidate defenders at every goal given opportunity he has.

Contributing five goals in Norway 11-1 victory on Moldova Haaland now has scored a total of 310 goals in 378 games in all competitions, and 48 goals in 45 games for his own country. No way this isn't amazing goal ratio.

With Haaland performance in this Norwegian team they will be a squad to watch in the world cup tournament cause they proving to be a strong team that can play against any opponent  and overshadow them.

Watching Haaland score all that goals in a single match I reflected to the Sunday derby match City will be playing with United in the, and I was wondering that Haaland returning to the league from the int'l break with this form it will be a big battle for United defenders to curtain him. I'm careful on the one hand not to undermine United, last season City had a winless derby with united in a 0-0, and 1-2 result to United victory.

Norway is a very strong team now. We have seen them perform well in the World cup qualifiers. They won 4-0 against Italy. They even won 4-2 against Israel. And they won 1 - 0 against Estonia.

I do not remember the last time I saw Norway lose. We have seen a well-organized game from them in every match. Norway has a chance to do well in the next World cup.

Magnificent Erling Holland score 9 goals as Norway is having 24 goals in 5 games with 15 points clearly indicating their spot into FIFA World Cup 2026 their next game is against Israel at home with this having game against Italy is also challenging but most chances they will be gone directly into main round.

Italy is also doing good under new coach Gattuso they score 10 goals in 2 games, but their consistency is till questionable with their defense also needed to be had something proven they conceded 4 goals against Israel which is surely problem for them against big teams. After losing last 2 Word Cups again they are hanging into balance but if they are able to keep this momentum surely they will be able to have spot into main round of FIFA World Cup but currently stopping Norway is looking not possible for any team.

[Despairo]

They will be fine with their current golden generation. They obviously can compete with other football house nations in WC. I hope they will give a fight to the football house nations to prove they're worthy opponent.

Because is heavily carried by Haaland.

Norway players have a big gap between each other, some of them played in top teams and consistent, while some of them played in mediocre teams in their own league. Norway never able to beat a team with a good well round team e.g. Spain, Norway only able to beat mediocre team and since they have a good strength, that's why we see Norway can score many goals.

Brazil new era is already started under Carlos Ancelotti who is doing good job in 4 games have 2 wins 1 draw and 1 lost mean they are improving even still its long way to go for having good results in world cup but now with this level of performance things are turning into positive.

Their attack is having not good depth which is their biggest problem with their defense is doing impressive job as they conceded on 1 goal in 4 games now they have nearly 9 months for preparation which are surely not enough but as Don Ancelotti have track record something good can be expected because he is creative coach who always keep things on balance and also understand how to fix issues.

I dont see it in that way. They have asome other super players, Haaland can be more close to a legend for them but Odegard is still a TOP player he is the captain of Arsenal.
Sorloth is  also a top player he is the number 9 of Atletico Madrid, Ryerson is a A class player, Oscar Bobb is a young promise, Nylan is the goalkeeper of Sevilla.

Haaland is one of the few players that I really likes based on his goal scoring abilities because when it comes to goal Haaland is not one player that is stingy, as he is known for scoring a lot of goals so scoring five goals in a single game is a good one and this performance of Haaland scoring against a team like Moldova is expected.



Haaland is just one of the few player's strikers that don't struggle when it comes to goal scoring , because he does it with the who of  his heart.

[Alpha Marine]

Brazil new era is already started under Carlos Ancelotti who is doing good job in 4 games have 2 wins 1 draw and 1 lost mean they are improving even still its long way to go for having good results in world cup but now with this level of performance things are turning into positive.

I'm not expecting much from Brazil. Nothing about them has impressed me. I'm not saying this because of their loss to Bolivia, because Bolivia is a very good team currently, and I expected them to take at least a point from that match before even playing, and they didn't disappoint. I'm saying this because Brazil have not been convincing. Even in the matches they won, I was not convinced. They won Chile 3-0, and people talked about how good they played, forgetting that Chile is one of the worst teams on the continent currently.

Going to the World Cup with this performance will be a disaster. Neymar used to be the only one to bring life to the team, but since his loss of form, they have been lukewarm. There is hope for Neymar to make it to the world cup, but I don't think it will make a difference except the old Neymar will come back and I don't see that happening.

Håland is more like a one man army. In his team, he is the dominant player, by a huge margin. And if Norway qualifies for the next edition of the FIFA World Cup, Håland will be responsible for that. But at the same time, it is really difficult for Håland to carry the burden on his shoulders, because he almost never receives enough support from his team mates. Another factor that works against him is that the opposition players swarm around him, as he is the main goal scorer for his team.

I do not know what was exciting in this match except we saw a one sided game but yeah, one could have witnessed 12 goals in a match, which is very rare these days. Moldova had no answer to the Norwegian aggression.

If we check the match stats, more than 70% of the game was in control of Norway team. By control, I mean the ball possession was mostly with Norway and they made the best use of it. You can see the difference between the two teams as Norway had 14 shots on goal while Moldova had only a single shot on goal in the entire match.

Five goals and two assists in this match brought his tally to 48 goals in 45 appearances. This is certainly a fantastic achievement at such a young age. Haaland is a predator always hungry for goals and in this match Haaland also received a perfect 10 rating.

Hopefully Norway can maintain their consistency so they can perform even better at the upcoming World Cup. I also see the current Norwegian squad as a golden generation, with almost all of their lines being strong. This will certainly be a good asset for next year's World Cup. With a solid squad like this, they are predicted to make further progress in the World Cup. Moreover Norway missed the 2022 World Cup, so they will be giving their best at next year's World Cup.
