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

[programmer3666]

Lolz, Germany really destroys their opponents in a very bad way, every team really has to face such a bad situation against Germany. Germany has scored a total of 5 goals in 70 minutes, the whole match is full of their attack, they have made a total of 23 shots, which is a very big amount of attack, there are still 20-25 minutes left in the match, they will still be on the lookout for goals, they will try to score more goals, their performance is really crazy, they only think about scoring goals, and no matter which team comes against them, they destroy them very badly, I think Germany will score more goals. 

Germany is just far too superior to their opponent and so I too was not expecting anything less from them, I just knew they were going  to defeat this people in a flawless Victory right from when I saw the fixture, I knew they were not even going to have any mercy on their opponent.  So far in the competition I want to believe they are the team with the highest number of goals in a single match so far. I would live to see the make it to the semi-final if possible.

Honestly, this result is not really a surprise. We already expected it to be a walk in the park for the German machines. Once Germany gets into their rhythm, they can make even decent teams look average. What impressed me most was not just the number of goals, but the way they kept attacking even after taking control of the game. They never looked satisfied and kept pushing forward. If they can maintain this level of performance against stronger opponents, they will definitely be one of the teams to watch as the tournament progresses.

Curaçao suffered a very humiliating defeat; it must have been very sad for them. They conceded 7 goals and only managed to score 1. I don't know if they will be able to recover psychologically in time for the next game. Before this game started, I had high expectations for Curaçao, something like they could lose but without conceding many goals. I didn't imagine they would be defeated in such a humiliating way. Honestly, I don't know how Germany, against whom I didn't have high expectations, played so well today. Maybe they can really go far in this World Cup.

The surprise 1 goal in the first half for Curacao seemed to pave the way for Germany to play more aggressively but indeed this victory was a sure thing for them and I was not too surprised even though I did not expect the score to be so big in this match because I only predicted Germany to score 4 goals maximum in this match.

For now they look much more convincing but since the opponent is Curacao which is far below Germany I will consider this as a very natural thing.D
One team that might make it to the knockout phase quickly is Germany given their current confidence and a group that looks pretty easy for them. The Netherlands other match against Japan looked like a one-sided affair but the Dutch didn't have much attacking quality in the first half.

[Cassius55]

I expected much more from netherland they are moch slow and very poor passage and assist are served to Malen, in my opinion Reijnders is not good this evening he committed much error maybe is better de roon. Japan national team play very fast and demostrate a good unity and mnemonic game, Ueda is a very good player he scored 25 goal this season feyeenord.

The Netherlands vs. Japan match is currently underway and has reached the 20th minute. however, it seems the Netherlands is dominating this first half. Japan is still frequently seen losing possession of the ball very quickly. Japan is usually more disciplined, but this time they’re panicking a bit too easily.
The Netherlands are playing more calmly but are still able to put pressure on Japan’s defense. However, so far, few good scoring opportunities have been created. It looks like this match won’t produce many goals, perhaps just one or two, or there might not be any at all.

I do feel Japan's type of play isn't possession type of game, unless they are playing a low Cadre of team but against a team like Netherlands, surely it is expected that that Netherlands will dominate the ball possession wise. But the stats doesn't tell you that Japan was playing very good at the beginning part of the game and there ball carrying ability is just phenomenal. Whilst Netherlands struggle to work an attack through there limp offensive plays

Japan has the highest goal attempt so far, in this game. I think, the game is balanced and both teams are somehow, equal in strength. On the other hand, Netherland are playing pretty good and almost break the deadlock but Suzuki denied them that chance. The first half is over and none of these teams were able to find the back of the net to open the scoreline.

Both teams seem to be evenly matched. it’s just that the Japanese players seem to be misplacing their passes more often. Their passing accuracy isn’t as good as usual. They seem to be feeling the pressure, which is causing them to make some rather frantic passes at times.

I think the teams’ playing styles will become clearer in the second half. Japan can sometimes break through the Dutch defense when building an attack, but they rarely get those opportunities. Meanwhile, the Netherlands continues to build attacks but is struggling to get closer to the Japanese penalty area.

[dezoel]

35 minutes of play gone with no action from both sides after a slow start. Now the Netherlands is having a better attacking strategy, but Japan is playing with a fully defensive mode. This is helping them keep the Netherlands silent, which is having a good squad, and their history in the World Cup is also impressive.

Netherlands chances are high for having a good end in this game, but still they needed to play a counterattack game because with Japan's defensive strategy, it's looking not easy for them to end this deadlock.

A few hours back, Germany did an impressive job now it's time for them to give their best for having 3 points and a good start to their campaign in this World Cup.

[GiftedMAN]

It was very disappointing to see Brazil lose to Morocco, or maybe Morocco is so strong that they can match Brazil, Carlo Ancelotti needs to evaluate everything because in my opinion they are not optimal for the match against Morocco even from the match statistics almost draw, something is wrong here?
Looking at the result of this match I think that Brazil might not qualify for the final round if they don't make changes in their match strategy.

Brazil did not lose against Morocco the game ended in a 1:1 draw but based on the performance of Morocco they actually deserved to be winners because they were playing like a team that was playing against an underdog team which is Brazil cause the domination in the first half was abnormal and Brazil was actually looking for the ball. Carlo Ancelotti  has tried all his best by bringing the best players to the tournament but may be Brazil will dominate when they play against another country but against Morocco they weren't at their best performance.

The one quality this Netherland possess more than that of the Japan side Is there ability to be press resilient and still that same ability that would give them the edge to go ahead of Japan if the Japan players press too high. It feels like there are 3 Frankie De Jong in that mid fielder and that's the reason Japan can't just press them to take possession.

Now it feels like Netherlands attacks has come back to life

[perfect999]

When it comes to football tournaments, whether it was official games or friendlies, Germany national football team or even its Bundesliga clubs like Bayern Munich, have no sympathy over their opponents and they don't hesitate a second to destroy and humiliate them.
The defeat of Curaçao was obvious. Receiving many goals wasn't a surprise for me, even though 7 goals was a bit exaggerated from Germany. What surprised me was to see at some point Curaçao tying with Germany in the number of goals. I didn't expect them to score honestly.

Already enough argument about Curacao and its qualification, but after watching this game, I am not happy with FIFA's system because having teams like this always creates no entertainment; it's just a practice game for Germany, and they enjoyed it well with a good number of goals.

Humiliating defeat for Curacao they are having 2 more games. Both teams are best with things, and things are clearly indicating they are having not good chances of winning any points. Their conceded goals are also going to be in good numbers because their defense is also having not enough depth to stop quality attacks.
Germany is having a dream start to their campaign, and they are surely going to have good motivation in the coming games.

Actually for the Japan there is no other way rather playing the defensive mode in this match against the Netherland team. And I think for the Japan team it actually working at least If they were stick to this then this match could be draw at the last.

For some reason, watching this match reminds me of the Brazil and Morocco teams, where Morocco was able to completely thwart Brazil's attacks with its defense.

And now this is why even if currently 48 minute have been passed but Netherland and Japan both have zero score.

The two teams have not yet opened their score. Because their style of play is similar. Neither the Netherlands nor Japan are playing very aggressively. They are trying to attack suddenly with great discipline and rhythm. The defense lines of both teams are almost equally strong. Before the half-time started, Japan attacked with long passes, bypassing the Netherlands defense and creating almost a one-on-one situation. If Japan can create a few more such opportunities, Japan can win. But the Netherlands is trying to play a little more aggressively. They are pressing the ball and easily forming an attack. So it seems a little difficult to predict the result of this match.

You don't expect Netherland to dominate this game. Japan is one country that you should not take for granted because Japan currently is one of the best footballing teams in the world. I didn't expect anything less from this game, this game is going to be a tough one because the two countries are really good and play a world class football.


Going into the second half, I expect that the two countries will come out to play. So this game is going to be an open one any team that takes their chances is what is going to win the game. Netherlands should be very careful on their defense because the Japanese are very fast when it comes to counter attack.

Maybe Brazil did not meet the expectations of people that's why they are actually making the mistake of thinking that Brazil lost but the reality is that Brazil drew against Morocco.
For me that was a disappointing display but Vini Jr rose to the occasion to help his national team get a goal to draw level in his 50th cap for the Brazilian side.
Honestly I think Brazil can learn alot from that match and moving forward make corrections, they are still a title contenders with the influential figures they have in their rooster.

Honestly, I don't know how Germany, against whom I didn't have high expectations, played so well today. Maybe they can really go far in this World Cup.

I understand very well that even on paper this 7-1 thrashing look like a huge loss. But I think Curacao's side should be given some credit for this deadly fight. In fact this was their first World Cup match in the history of football. And just 21 minutes into the game Livano Comenencia's sneaky goal equalized the match 1-1. This was the first World Cup goal in their football history

However after that the whole game turned with the power and quality of Germany's players. Havertz scored two goals alone. Also the other players opened the account of the goal celebration. So in this match I will not say that Curacao's spirit has been broken or defeated. Rather I will say why Germany is the favorite to win this trophy, that is what they are roaring on the field and proving clearly

[$weetne$$]

 I began to expect the goals from Germany to reach 10 after Germany scored their 5th goal, this isn't me trolling but just my expectations due to the German team's performance, Curacao where so lucky to score the only goal they had. After they equalized, i was hoping for a suprise from Curacao although they suprised me by conceding 6 more goals afterwards.
 Maybe after this World Cup, that's if they'll even manage to qualify for the next, they'll have to organize their team by developing players in the country or send some out to get experience in club teams around Europe and beyond cause this current team is not ready to represent the country in International level.

This actually does sounds funny, I know almost everything is possible in football but then they are all players and not some dummies against the German side. We know that Germany is far more superior to their opponent, but they have limit to the much they can achieve due to other factors including time that they may not have so much, but the German side did humiliated their opponent in the number of goals they were able to score, 7 goals to 1 was the score margin as Germany got the 7 goals.

[tygeade]

Brazil needs to do far better. Not because Morroco is a bad team, of course they are a great team, but if you want to be world cup winners, you need to beat teams at Morocco level. There is a level above that, I would rank Morocco B rank, and France, Spain, England, Argentina, these type of teams are better.

And if Brazil are failing to beat Morococo, then they will have harder time with bigger and better teams. This is why they should be able to do a lot better and should focus on being 100% and not really lose focus. They looked like they didn't care all game long, they didn't look like they even wanted a win, they looked like this world cup means nothing to them at all, which is the biggest problem.

So it seems a little difficult to predict the result of this match.

The Netherlands finally scored a goal in the 51st minute, making the score 1-0 for now. i think this goal might prompt Japan to adopt a more aggressive strategy, since they have to catch up and equalize first. If they lose this match, it’s not certain they’ll win their other games. It looks like Japan won’t have an easy time of it this time around.

However, if Japan plays with the same boldness and aggression they showed in the first half at the start of the match, they might indeed have the potential to score and tie the game. But the Netherlands will certainly tighten up their defense as well.

I would live to see the make it to the semi-final if possible.

To be honest this match was absolutely bizzar...like Germany really delivered the quality of their commitment regarding through the World Cup. I know before the match Germany was super favorite for the victory but now knew that that how horribly they will trash their opponent. Literally they remember me the 2014 world cup where they banged Brasil with 7-1 as similar to this match....

Besides that it's seem that Germany have a lot of commitment for world cup because this match was their drill trail but they took it like a serious battle. If they continue like this then definitely they can recognize into big stage of World Cup.

Yes, maybe because of excessive expectations so that not a few are still very confident in Brazil and I admit that, and I hope so too that Brazil can re-evaluate to make a better teamwork, however soccer is a game filled with cooperation, if the cooperation is bad then the results will definitely be bad.

The match between Japan and the Netherlands is ongoing, in the first half they were quite strong against each other and did not score a goal, but in the second half the Netherlands got a good chance Virgin van Dijk managed to steal a goal and then was strongly countered by Japan through Keito Nakamura which made the result even, but the Dutch again took advantage and managed to increase the score to 2-1 for the time being.

[Crypto Library]

Now at the end the Netherland team is taking the lead by scoring another goal, it was a good assist by R. Gravenberch and as well a good shot by C. Summerville. But here I will more priase the performance of R. Gravenberch it was his second assist on the first call he was also the assist.
By the way currently we are seeing the exact Netherland team they were getting back their form against the Japan team And I think the Netherlands team will be able to score one more goal towards the end of the game, although the Japanese team is still trying to continue their defense.

The second half is bringing more goals than I expected. Both teams have scored a total of three goals within 14 minutes with Netherland leading the game as the scoreline is currently 2-1. Netherland is really showing the Japanese what they are made of in this second half. Netherland took the lead twice and a superb strike from Summerville gave his team the lead for the second time.
