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

[Varnquister]

In their first match in Group D, the U.S. easily defeated Paraguay and secured three points. The U.S. made a strong start to the group stage by building a lead in the first half and taking control of the game. Thanks to two first-half goals by Folarin Balogun, the U.S. went into halftime leading 3-0; although they conceded a goal, they won the match 4-1 with a goal in the final minute. The U.S. was definitely the favorite going into the match, but I don’t think anyone expected such a lopsided score.

Paraguay isn't the type of team you can calculate how good a team is. Beating them is not an achievement and we should not suddenly start thinking about USA like they have a shot at the title. We all know that USA could beat these smaller teams, but when it comes to bigger teams, USA has zero chance, not even close. Max they could do is quarter finals if they are lucky, and that is only if they are lucky as well.

So we should be considering how they are going to do on the long run and not just group stages. In the group stages USA could do fine, but that is only for the group stages and nothing more. I feel like the best case for the time being would be that USA reaches further than group, and then lose to some bigger team.

I am not expecting Paraguay to be the next round of this worldcup I think the hope is very much low and I think there tournament is over . Other side USA was very good pouchantino make them a mix of Argentina and some kinda USA mixer Ahaha they are very much good in the first match. I didn’t expect USA was that's good but I think it's time to day USA will be through to the next round and if USA top there group they will be face IRAN in knockout stage it will be interesting I love to watch that's match. Where IRAN launch a rocket from the out side of the BOX HAAHA

Brazil will play against Morocco and Brazil is the favored team in this match, but unfortunately Neymar will still be absent from the opening match of the group stage due to knee injury, although Ancelotti has stated that Neymar will recover and train with his teammates next week.
In this match, I will take Brazil at odds of 1.68 because Brazil has superior players compared to Morocco.

Brazil team was strong in the past, but currently they have an unexpected performance. You trusted Brazil team but they could not perform well because Neymar is not present here so Brazil team seems very weak. But Morocco team players are very good and aggressive, their defenders are the strongest and their running speed is also very high.
So even though Brazil team is relatively strong but the performance of Brazil team is very less guaranteed, so I have kept Brazil team away from betting list in this match. However it will never be possible to guess without watching the game till the end, so we definitely need to enjoy the game for the final result.

We can say that Qatar is one of the weakest teams in the World Cup. In my opinion, Switzerland’s squad quality is enough to advance from the group stage. At the very least, I think they have a high chance of finishing in the top two. With Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina having drawn and split the points, Switzerland cannot afford to make any mistakes against Qatar. Switzerland will comfortably defeat Qatar and take the lead in the group. I believe Switzerland has a high potential to score at least two goals.

[Akbarkoe]

Yes Bosnia cannot be underestimated, although indeed Canada has many advantages for the match now because they are the host, but Bonsia is also not a team that can be underestimated, seeing Italy lose to Bosnia is enough to make us think how Bosnia can be better probabilities.

The Mexico match was won, as I said before, which Mexico will definitely win well, and they dominated the match very well, 2-0 for this match.

Perhaps you are right that we should not underestimate a team that managed to eliminate Italy and qualify for the World Cup. However on the other hand, Italy are not a particularly strong team at the moment, and Bosnia only got past them with great difficulty in a penalty shootout. I also think they had a fair amount of luck on their side in that tie. Because of that, I do not expect Bosnia and Herzegovina to beat Canada, but I would not rule out the possibility of the match ending in a draw.

And yes it's true that Bosnia can't be underestimated, they managed to hold bosnia to a draw, and you're right about that we can't rule out that the result turned out to be a draw.
 
How do you measure that? I'm very interested to see how it turns out according to your prediction buddy.
Unexpectedly in last night's match the United States could win the match against Paraguay with a score of 4-1, this is a very good score for them, I thought before that Paraguay should have won 1-0 but they lost badly.

[dezoel]

The third match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 is going to start in a few minutes. Canada is going to host Bosnia & Herzegovina. Both teams are having the same level of quality and performance, but Canada is going to have some good advantages due to the host nation.

Current odds are also favouring them @1.88, but it's going to be an easy game for both sides. Bosnia & Herzegovina usually plays a defensive game; this will create problems for Canada because their attack is also not good enough.

Just because of this, for this match I am expecting under 2.5 to be good for betting odds at @1.65, but if someone is brave enough, they can go with Bosnia & Herzegovina/draw as well at odds of @2.1.

A good day in betting both bets won. First, Bosnia vs. Canada, and secondly, the USA hit hard to Paraguay. This was an impressive performance from the host country in their first game today. 5 games are going to be played on 14th June, with the first game being Qatar vs. Switzerland. Here, Switzerland is the hot favourite to win. In the second game, Brazil is having a challenge with Morocco.

This game is going to be interesting because Morocco has a good squad, and they can create problems for Brazil, but still I am expecting Brazil to win this game with the score of 2-1. For the first game, Switzerland winning with conceding no goal is also going to be good; hopefully both will go as expected.

OK guys.. we have the Haiti vs Scotland match today. IMO, that is the only match worth betting on, as the other two (Brazil vs Morocco and Qatar vs Switzerland) are quite predictable. Stake has Scotland at 1.52 and Haiti at 5.60. I would have liked to place a bet in favor of Scotland (Stake says 94% of the bets in this match are for them). But the odds are not that attractive. If by any chance the match ends up as a draw, I will lose money. Brazil is actually given lower odds than Scotland. Brazil is at 1.68 against Morocco. A bit confused on whether to place a bet today or not.

Try going with both teams to score on Brazil vs Morocco — that’s a bet I played. Maybe both teams not to score on Scotland vs Haiti.I mostly like betting on both teams to score because a lot of times I’ve won tickets in the last minute, and you stay alive until the final whistle. But if you’re feeling a little riskier, maybe both teams not to score is for you.
Personally, I would only bet on Brazil.

Both team to score and for Brazil to win sounds like a good bet and it’s probably what’s going to happen, why I believe that is possible is cause I’m not too confident with this Brazilian defense and Morocco is actually a good attacking side and are likely to get a goal but are not sure to overcome Brazil.

Switzerland have a better squad than Qatar so mostly are going to be victors unless Qatar becomes an upset. I think Scotland will have the game over Haiti but that game might be a tough match as Haiti are looking to Make an impact in this tournament.

I assumed that USA would only be able to win because there would be corruption. We have seen how FIFA allowed USA to do whatever illegal thing they wanted to do and that is what we are seeing here as well, hundreds of people got their visa rejected and sent back so far from visitors.

So FIFA allows corruption, we know that and I assumed USA would only be able to win games due to referees supporting them and giving them benefit of the doubt. But even I have to be honest and say that USA won this fair and square, they were just much better than Paraguay for sure.

The U.S. was definitely the favorite going into the match, but I don’t think anyone expected such a lopsided score.

I also didn't expect such a crushing score. perhaps the early goal in the seventh minute had a negative impact on Paraguay and they weren't able to show their true potential. previously Paraguay has been known for its strong defense but in this match their defense was like a walk-through. despite the defeat Paraguay still has a chance to advance from the group although not a very good one. and the USA with this victory practically secured their advancement from the group.

I don't think there was corruption in this win of the USA. They played better, much better than South Africa and deserved this win against South Africa. USA are not a too strong and successful national team in history of World Cup but winning matches is not like impossible with them. Sometimes they can win big or lose big in matches, it's very normal in football.

It's a match when their players performed excellently while South African players did bad enough so together it's a big win for the USA, without corruption, without referee's bad decisions to support the USA team.

Brazil are undoubtedly the favourites against Morocco and simply must win this match. If Brazil want to top the group, they will likely need to defeat Morocco, perhaps their toughest opponent in the group. Brazil are the favourites, but I expect Morocco to put up a good fight against their opponents in this match. If Morocco can secure a draw in this match, anything could happen in this group.

Yes Brazil is the favorite in this match but Morocco won the last match between these two teams so I will not put Morocco far behind in this match. Morocco has won 3 matches and drawn 2 matches in their last 5 matches. On the other hand Brazil has won 3 matches and lost 1 match and drawn 1 match in their last 5 matches. So I will not be surprised if this match is a draw. But in this match I will support Morocco, let's see which team can win.

Brazil are the favorites in this match no doubt but i think this will be by far the most intresting match so far in the world cup. Probobly one of the biggest matches so far and i cannot wait to watch it because will probobly be good. I want to see how the Brazil team will play and if they are that good as everyone says. Most of people say they will win the world cup but i doubt it. There are far better teams then them so it will be really hard for them.

Agree with you, we always see Paraguay playing optimally in the last few matches but this time everything looked bad especially after the own goal. USA as the host can take advantage of this moment and increase their self-confidence, yeah at least scoring some goals can help them to get closer to the next stage. I think USA and Türkiye can compete for the top position but they have to win 2 matches. For today's match Qatar vs Switzerland and Brazil vs Morocco, I think we can predict who will win Switzerland and Brazil have a greater chance of securing 3 points yeah hopefully there won't be any surprises with the worst scenario.

Morocco does have a good team who would want to resist Brazil but their depth may not get them victory against Brazil, very true that they may luckily get a goal but they are mostly not getting Victory, I believe Brazil squad will do much better with their performance than Morocco will. The Switzerland Qatar is obviously a clear win for Switzerland land, both teams has almost no ground for comparison as the gap differences is just to obvious keeping Switzerland at all the advantages.

Yes, the public expected that they would win, but not by that big goal difference. I predict that United States will win, but the total goals in the match will not be more than 2,5 goals, which is also the answer I chose in the latest BSFL round. I think I'll start considering picking them in the second match of the group, they will play with Australia, they will destroy Australia just like they destroyed Paraguay.

Despite the fact that Brazil does not have as many great players as they did in the past, Brazil still has more world-class players than Morocco currently. So, even without Neymar, Brazil's squad is still good enough to defeat Morocco. However, the point is that they lack teamwork, and that is what has been disturbing them.In this World Cup, I am expecting great performances from Brazil. As for today's game, I see Brazil as the favorite team to win the match. I don't see Morocco winning the match today, despite how aggressive they may be. I know that Morocco has good teamwork and also has great players, but I don't think their squad can be compared with Brazil's squad at the moment.

However, let wait and see how the match goes. All I can say for now is that the match is going to be tough and interesting. It may not be easy for Brazil to win, but I have more confidence in the Brazil team than in Morocco.Even if I wanted to bet on this match, I would either go for the both teams to score option, but I would never give Morocco a straight win. If Morocco eventually wins the match, luck will have played a big role in the outcome.

[Promocodeudo]

Was it by the beaten of Paraguay you are believing USA to be more than Mexico and Canada?, those two countries haven't also been defeated, Mexico have won and Canada with a draw so actually the two might only be 2 point forward against Canada but first match is very early to no all this, although Paraguay was indeed a country we thought of better match than the lost they got and USA make sure of it by getting hold of there three points but however between all the group of this host countries Mexico are even the country with more form of being a first on there group than even USA or Canada because USA still has Australia and Turkiye.

The matches are just starting, though Paraguay got it hot from USA, it means that USA is far better than them because 4:1 defeat in the world cup tournament shows that they are more Superior than them, I don't know who's better among Turkiye,  Australia and USA for now until they meet each other, it won't be nice to judge football like that, who knows how many goals other teams would've won Paraguay with if they had met this early, USA did well by beating their opponents outrightly in the first leg but that shouldn't be a yardstick for anyone to rate them high for now, there are many matches ahead until they scale through in all their groups matches we can start rating them high.

Switzerland will comfortably defeat Qatar and take the lead in the group. I believe Switzerland has a high potential to score at least two goals.

Of course, Switzerland looks like the clear favorite in this match. Qatar has been putting up weak results lately, even against mid-level opponents, and they haven't managed to win a single friendly match since the qualifiers ended. Switzerland, on the other hand, boasts an experienced and well-drilled squad that knows how to get results in big games. The team's defense is particularly strong—the Swiss rarely make serious mistakes and concede very few goals. That being said, I don't expect a high-scoring game from these two. Switzerland will most likely win with under 3 total goals scored.

Brazil is the favorite in the match against Morocco. I’ve been trying to figure out why Brazil is considered the favorite, given that this World Cup squad feels like a new team—only Casemiro and Alisson have World Cup experience, even though there are players like Vinicius. But that doesn’t mean we should rule them out as favorites.

Facing Morocco won’t be easy for Brazil, even though they’re the favorites to win. Morocco could be the surprise team even in this World Cup, even though this group only has three teams with a chance to compete for first and second place.
Brazil’s chances of winning this World Cup are still slim because there’s still Portugal, France, England, and the Netherlands.
