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

[Abbatty]

Brazil with their tradition and a lot of expectation of winning a World Cup trophy, actually under performed and created a lot of disappointment for their fans.

That’s why Ancelotti is under immense pressure as coach, and perhaps that has had some impact on the players’ performance on the field. The fans really want Ancelotti to lead Brazil to the World Cup trophy, because it has been a very, long time since Brazil last won the World Cup, or even reached the final. And that has become a tradition for Brazil in every World Cup. No matter who the coach is, they will inevitably be expected to lead Brazil to the final and win the World Cup trophy.

Honestly after watching Brazil, with that performance I don’t think they will make it to even the semi finals. For me they really under Perform and even created very little chance in that match. Morocco really played well and created much chances, they Should have won that game for me. Now they are really under pressure, but I still have the believe they will qualify out of the group stage.

The World Cup have been very Interesting, So far only Brazil have been the big nation that have drop point in this first wound, though some are still yet to play but I still think most of them will win their matches. I so much anticipate to watch Portugal.

I thought that Brazil would play well in this world cup with the help of ancelotti. But Ancelotti did not get the opportunity to  work enough with the Brazil squad. Even then, he tried his  best to make the team more powerful. After ancelotti took charge, brazil has played 13 matches. Out of these, they have lost 3 matches and drawn 3.
Brazil's performance against morocco was not good. If they perform like  this in the next matches too, then they should not expect to win the World Cup. Hopefully , their performance will improve in the next match.

I am very convinced that Brazil aren't going to win the world Cup, what you should be saying if they would or could manage to reach the quarter finals, or semi finals at most, not wishing them any bad luck but Brazil won't make it to the finals not to talk of or even imagine them winning the world Cup.

As for their performance against Morocco, well, I would say that it's just the starting of the world Cup tournament and most national teams playing are still just warming up, they haven't stepped on their high gear yet, maybe soon when the game will hit and some nationals teams start packing their bags back their country, every national team playing in this world Cup will start putting in their best to win their games.

This is not something I consider very serious to discuss but just for fun, I think this man will have alot of explanation to give to his wife and family when he returns back to them from the world Cup 😂😂

Watch the clip here - https://x.com/i/status/2066438665937576149

These camera guys will put someone into a big problem. The guy was not just looking, he was fantasising. The commentator also didn't help the situation, as he mentioned that the guy had been caught. The guy would be safe if he had no girlfriend or wife. He would be in deep shit if he were not single because some women could be very jealous. Some women could take it as far as to divorce because of this incident.

One of the clips I've seen so far from this 2026 world Cup
😂, it's a video clip where a man instead of cheering for his national team to win the match, he was rather busy feeding his eyes and brain with someone else as we all can see in the screenshot above..

Maybe this is why Brazil could not beat Morocco and that lead to me losing four different parley bets where one of the legs was Brazil to beat Morocco in their encounter last week.

I watched the video clip on my brother's WhatsApp status. Fivestar4everMVP, with the way the Brazilian female fan dress to kill, all I can say is that the Brazilian male fan was just admiring the beautiful hand work of God.  Most men will do exactly the same thing the Brazilian male fan did. I just feel sorry for the man because if he has a wife in Brazil, he will have to answer some questions when he gets back to Brazil.

You just can't help but look, it’s a massive attention grabber. He was just unlucky to get caught red-handed on camera, but honestly, who doesn't look at someone attractive? It might not even be a lustful stare, just appreciating something truly beautiful. I don't blame the guy, I’d look too lol

Haha Any man would have looked at her like this, the way he looked at her attracted her a lot. Since he was caught on camera, it is being shared on social media all over the world and it has spread even more, which we also enjoyed a lot. The way he looked at her, of course, even if there were other men here, he would have looked at her like this, the way he attracted her is really funny. The boy has nothing to do with it, but he must have been feeling a lot from inside, the way he looked at her, if there was any man in this place, this is how the attention would have gone haha.

Take away your eyes Buddy. LOL
Ahh it seems I also know now why Brazil can produce disappointing matches, I complained about the draw, it turns out that there are many things that make not focus, good discovery, thank you for that.😂

but honestly my parlay is also a mess because of this Brazil, and the next match has no hope anymore, and I seem to have to make new predictions, if you want to continue the hunt for the world cup, a difficult one for me is the Iran match against New Zealand, what do you think, please give me a little leak.

[Sandra_hakeem]

So what your opinion about Spain team starting line up its really good formation or Luis de la Fuente make experiment for the first match several rotation without playing full main player.

You want to know my opinion? First of all, I'm not trying to underestimate any team here but does Spain think this is a ballon d'Or tournament? What's the point of building a squad as solid as this against poor Cabo Verde? They only appeared in the world for the first time in 2022, so this is their second trial, with a limited experience. 5-0, 4-0, 7-2 is that what you want. I don't know a single player from that country that knows ball, so this is already a walk over match for Spain.

Ancelotti is just to experienced to be affect too much by the supposed pressure, i want to believe that he will still deliver his team in every case, it is just a matter of time, they are just at the group stage and they are not doing so badly if you check so they will just have to be allowed the more time and they will be able to put smiles on the faces of their fans.

They may not win the world cup but they are very likely to go far beyond just the group stage in the world cup.

There are very few people who know the Cabo verde team well. I have checked their past match statistics and watched some  match highlights. It would not be right to think that this  team is too weak.

They may not have the ability to win against spain. But Cabo verde has  been undefeated for a long time. They even won 3-0 a gainst serbia and Bermuda in the two friendlies before the world cup. I hope Spain will not make any mistakes in this match. My prediction is that  the match will end 3-1. It is  unlikely that Spain will win by a margin of  6/7 goals.

[passwordnow]

Ivory Coast got that 1 goal. Good job to them, although my bet has lost. That's okay and this is just one of the many for this world cup. I'll try to check some bets and will look into predictions on which one is a good one. Nice try for me I guess for thinking that it would be a draw.

Seriously before the game I know how Ivory Coast was actually a strong side too but Ecuador are a team coming into this tournament with the best defensive record, having lost in the last 12 games and I wasn’t expecting them to lose though I was expecting at least a win or draw for the Ecuadorians, which almost came to pass until a very well taken goal by Ahmad Diallo. This is seriously a great win for the Ivorians and definitely a mountain to climb for Ecuador

Yeah, too bad that I have to lose on that bet as this gives me a streak for the respective bets that I've bet. But that's okay, I'm not taking it with a heavy heart. Just like the others, they're all excited for the games and this side bet that I did also made me happy to see how Ivory Coast got that goal.

[SquallLeonhart]

It cannot be denied that Turkey played very well in this match, as evidenced by their excellent ball control. They also had numerous opportunities. Unfortunately, they were all in vain, unable to convert those opportunities into goals, ultimately losing 2-0 to Australia. I think it's a real shame,, as you said, Turkey deserved to win this match, as they dominated everything. But perhaps Turkey was too hasty in this match, and they ended up conceding, allowing Australia to score.

So,, I hope Turkey doesn't repeat the same mistake in their second match. It's clear from the second match that it will be a crucial match for their position in the standings. Therefore, Turkey must win their second match. Because that's the only way they can advance to the next phase. Furthermore,, Guler played exceptionally well in this match, so hopefully he can maintain that form.

Turkey is a great team with some great players, there is no doubt about that. But at the same time they do not have that final touch, that final goal scorer that could turn all of this into a great momentum. They have a good goalkeeper that I admired this season at UCL, he played very well, they have known defenders, not that big names, but known, they have backs on both sides playing great in Europe, great midfield with Hakan Calghanoglu and Kenan and Arda as wingers, so like they actually have amazing team.

But they do not have any strikers at all, and I mean none at all. This is causing them to be not that good, even though the team is good, the lack of striker causes them to have hard time scoring in the end.

Brazil is a strong team. They didn't do well in the previous world cup. We blamed brazil's manager. But in this world cup, they have a strong s quad and an experienced manager like ancelotti. So everyone had high expectations from the team. But we saw their very poor performance in the first match. Such poor performance was not expected from a team like brazil. Although I am not a Brazil fan, I still thought they  would play well and win against Morocco. But in this match, morocco's performance was undoubtedly better than brazil's. Even if Morocco had a striker on the same level as Vini or Raphinha, brazil would  probably have lost this match.

[shinratensei_]

Spain national team have released starting line up against Cape Verde for the first match in Group H, one interested for this match Spain team playing without Lamine Yamal at starting line up and he started from the bench. Many unpredictable rotation from the head coach Luis de la Fuente by playing Gavi since the first minutes and he play as left winger position. Arsenal's goal keeper David Raya indeed winning Premier League tittle and reached the final round in Champion League but can't guarantee get the main goal keeper and he started from the bench because unai Simon always become the regular goal keeper.

So what your opinion about Spain team starting line up its really good formation or Luis de la Fuente make experiment for the first match several rotation without playing full main player.

Yamal is just recovering from his injury. I see Fuente does it right by resting him. However, i don't rule the chance for Fuente to start him slowly. Theorically, he can play, but he must be subbed at the late game to ensure he won't get repetitive injury.
Beside that it's also feeling weird we're not seeing Nico william and it's also due to the same reason as Yamal.

I have no problem with Spain's starting line up because they will against a nation that is considerably easy to beat. So their current starting eleven seems enough.
I think they can win this game with pretty good score such as 3-0.

Of course, just like any other player, it is not always that you will have your best days. And it is for me understandable that there are setbacks sometimes. But the most important thing is - you continue and not give up and still doing the best for the team. I believe, that's the heart of any sports. Even if you have failures, you still have the courage to continue and fight for your team. I believe, that's more important than anything else.

[Cossyblack]

Haha, please allow the young man to feed his eyes, who knows if his had a very stressful day and wants some distraction. The good thing about it is that it's free to look. He can look without consent but cannot touch without it. Since there's no consent to to touch let him feed his eyes afterall she purposely dressed like that to be looked at and his doing exactly that. His not the reason why Brazil couldn't win against Morocco, his not on the pitch playing but on the stands with the rest fans.

The young man was watching a different football game and forgot himself. He will laugh over it when he sees the video on the internet.  He was simply admiring the wonderful handi work of God,.he didn't notice she had something beautiful on her chest so when he finally saw it he couldn't control himself but stare lustfully at those two figures. I hope he didn't travel all the way from Brazil just to stare at women because he will get tired they lot of beautiful women on that stadium, he should focus on the real game in the field ,maybe brazil will do better im their next match.  

[StarenseN]

To be fair, Germany is known for winning as much as possible with as many goals as possible. This is not just a national team thing, even clubs are like that, I remember Bayern beating a smaller division team 12-0 once, and they were still trying for goal number 13.

So whenever Germany can win, they attack as much as possible and do not stop after a while and just pass. Because almost every other team I know, would score 3-4 goals at most, and then just try to pass around and let the game end.

[Razmirraz]

Snip.

Your assessment is very realistic. Brazil is indeed facing a tough test and a transition period with a new coach, and their performance record in the last few editions has not been very impressive. In my opinion, reaching the quarterfinals or semifinals is a more reasonable target than setting expectations of winning. Their first step in the 2026 World Cup also faced a tough test, they could only manage a 1-1 draw against Morocco, even though in terms of squad quality, they were far superior. The intense competition in this competition is also the reason Brazil's chances of reaching the final are very small, now European teams such as Spain, Germany and France are now much more favored with the highest chances of winning.

Morocco is a fragile team, they didn't play that well too... Too many mistakes along the field. At same time, Brazil managed to play even poorly, considering they had more skilled players, but still didn't score any further goals.

The problem with Brazil is that they aren't a team. They are a bunch of individual players playing on the field. There isn't a bond among most players. And it has been already said there are inner circles of players inside the national team which endorse determined players, while rejecting or ignoring others.

For an example, if you don't belong to my inner circle, I'm going to ignore you on the field by not passing the ball to you. It totally kill potential offensive plays.

I guess the biggest failure of the coach was to not undermine these inner circles, in order to make players play as a group.

The Moroccan team is much weaker than Brazil. I would say Morocco played better than expected. Brazil, on the other hand, played much worse than expected. Morocco's players will make mistakes, miss passes, it's normal. But it's annoying when a team like Brazil does that. Because every player in Brazil's squad plays in renowned clubs in Europe.
You are right that Brazil did not play as a team. They played individually. The understanding between the players was very poor. As a result we saw a lot of wrong passes. They also missed many opportunities.

[danadc]

Since most of the players in the Curacao team are from the Dutch system, I thought they would perform better, I was wrong.  

They are just beginning to see football at a professional level where everything is very new, but this will teach them many things. They are not in just any tournament, they are in a World Cup, It is difficult to accept that a country like this is in a World Cup and not Italy or one of those that have always been great this is undoubtedly one of the things they see. They still need more games, but I hope they do better.

[Arenga pinnata]

The Spain vs. Cape Verde match has just started. But I think this will be the easiest game to predict the outcome of. Because I don’t think Spain will have much trouble winning this match. And I don’t mean to underestimate Cape Verde. It’s just that there’s a clear difference in strength between the two teams. And I think most of us here would probably bet on Spain without even having to think twice or do any analysis.

And I’d be surprised if Spain doesn’t end up winning this match. Spain is one of the favorites in this World Cup, and I hope they prove it.
