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

[Altryist]

Türkey hopes of advancing to the next stage have been dashed. As we know, Turkey possesses considerable footballing stronger however, in this match against Paraguay, I felt their defense lapsed in concentration failing to shut down M. Galarza’s movement in the second minute which ultimately led to the goal. Despite launching attacks and creating various chances, The anticipated equalizer failed to materialize before the end of the first half furthermore, Paraguay received a red card after M. Almirón covered his mouth during a heated argument a new rule being enforced at this World Cup.

However, in the second half despite Turkey playing with greater freedom following the red card received by Paraguay and creating several chances, alongside the substitutions made by V. Montella, still yielded no results by the time the match ended after 90 minutes plus seven minutes of stoppage time. I consider this their worst performance of this World Cup a huge disappointment for them, certainly.

Turkey somehow managed to lose two matches in which they controlled the game, dominated possession, and produced a huge number of shots. Against Australia, they registered 30 shots, with 8 on target, yet failed to score a single goal. Against Paraguay, they had even more attempts 32 shots in total, but only 5 were on target. By the way, the gap between total shots and shots on target is enormous. I think this is something the coach needs to pay close attention to.

Turkey's conversion rate has been very poor because, despite controlling possession and dictating the flow of the game, they have been unable to score. Some may call it bad luck, but I think it is either a lack of finishing quality or excellent defensive performances from their opponents.

Turkey still have one match left against the USA. I don't think they will be able to beat them, so I believe their World Cup campaign may already be over.

Watching this Turkey Paraguay game just made me realize that Turkey are among the worst performing team in the competition inspire of having world-class players! And this game Paraguay plays with a man down which makes it difficult to play against them and am sorry don't see more goals coming from this game.. let's go team South America 

In the two games Turkey played, they had 62shots but no goals. This shows that they have a good attack but they were not clinical. They also dominated in the two games they played, having 71.6% possession in the game with Australia and it was 78.5% against Paraguay yesterday.

I thought the red card against Almiron would make them win the game, but I was wrong because they kept on missing clear chances. I never expected that Turkey will be one of the first countries to be knocked out of the World Cup. They seem to have a team that is comprised of some good players.

[$crypto$]

Everyone is asking Turkey why they lost to Paraguay?
Even though Paraguay played with 10 players in the second half, is this Turkey's worst performance? Only winning from possession and other statistics while not scoring with many chances? This is really bad luck for Turkey.

Almiron was shown a red card for saying something while covering his hand, which we know is a new rule to prevent racism against other players, do you think Almiron said racist things to the Turkish players?

Yes, Türkey lost their qualification for the next round in this World Cup with Paraguay and they were eliminated. Although they would have had a chance if they could have won against Paraguay, they were not lucky enough to have failed to win despite being strong. The Paraguayan team had a good defense system due to which they easily suppressed the Turkish team's attack and they won by just one goal until the last minute. Even though the Paraguayan team players felt a little weak after receiving a red card, they confidently resisted the Turkish team's attack. The Turkish team attacked until the last minute but they could not finish properly due to which they had to leave this World Cup by conceding a goal. However, in this match, we think it was lucky that they went to Paraguay and defeated the Turkish team, and if they win the next match, they will have hope for the next round.

Turkiye's performance really bothered me. I watched both of their  matches. Turkiye's players dominated in both matches. We saw that  they were able to  attack a lot. But they  also missed a lot of opportunities. The attacking players could not score a single goal  in both matches. The opponent was not very strong. We had high  expectations from Turkiye's team. But it is not possible to do well with such a weak attacking team. We saw USA play great in both matches. They are able to take home advantage well. USA will undoubtedly be the favorite against turkiye as well.

Looking at the quality of the players, most people will clearly choose Brazil because they have many young star players, and it's proven that Brazil can win decisively in this match. Haiti couldn't score a single goal against Brazil, and everyone will also look at the country's FIFA rankings before placing bets. Brazil only needed the first half to score three goals against Haiti through two of its star players, Cunha and Vinicius Junior.

It's not even about Brazil having many young players will make them favourite over Haiti. Brazil are known for their quality performance when it comes to football. If you see Brazil, you have seen football. Haiti hasn't made name for themselves in football and they're no where to Brazil in football. I'm not surprised that Brazil dominated the game and defeat them with a good number of goals. Winning with three goals on a clean sheet isn't by mistake.

This is exactly what I was expecting from them, I actually had a normal football arguments with my friends concerning this Brazil performance on thier last match, that hasn't been Neymar were present in the match played against Morocco they wouldn't have ended the match as draw on thier first round, I know quite alright that Neymar is a great player that performs vary accurately to sme extent, but even with his absence the Brazil can still be doing fine and perform accurately, when we still have some key players Iike Rahphian and Vinicius, thses players can still take over every opportunity to produce a goals and achieve the victory for Brazil.

Well, I was impressed with the Haiti performance in this match against Brazil, despite they were not opportune to achieve the victory, but they really tried, Well done played to Brazil on this nice turnout. BRAZIL-3 HAITI-0

Brazil really dominated the match and won with 3 goals, a result they truly deserved. But I think Brazil might need to be more creative in building its attacks. That would be more useful when facing teams that tend to play strong defensive games. In the match, I saw several times that they struggled to find options for passing.

Haiti is a very weak team. It is a team that has qualified for the World Cup after 52 years. First of all, they are very backward in  football, secondly, they are a very poor country. They do not have the ability to resist a team like Brazil. They also lost against scotland in the first match.

Brazil played really well in this match. Their performance against Morocco in the first match was messy. But in this match , the players played very well. I was very  surprised not to see a talented forward like Cunha in the squad in the first match. Ancelotti gave Thiago a chance. And his performance was very weak.

In this match, ancelotti changed his strategy and  formation. Brazil played in a  4-3-3 formation. Due to the extraordinary  performance of Cunha and Vini, Brazil was able to score  three goals in the first half.

It's a very big question that we need to ask ourselves because they played better than Paraguay, and most of the time possession does not really matter when you are possessing and you are not bringing in goals  then it's a waste of possession even with the shortage of players, they could not win that is just very embarrassing because even if they did not win, then they should be able to equalize the game at least.

Almiron was shown a red card for saying something while covering his hand, which we know is a new rule to prevent racism against other players, do you think Almiron said racist things to the Turkish players?

Almiron was given a red card, and it was as if nothing had changed because they still won the game. Players can be crazy at times, and that is why I like how the officials of the game are handling everything the way they are, because that is the only way things can be done right.

What a disasterclass from Turkey, and once again it shows that despite having a much higher squad value than Paraguay, individual quality is nothing compared to teamwork and a bit of luck in World Cups. Turkey can now pack their bags and prepare for a shameful ride home after the match against the USA.

[shinratensei_]

To begin with, i wanna tell my disappointment with Turkiye performance. They obviously break another new low by leaving from WC with 0 point collected. I also think they deserve not even single point because look at their stats above. Imagine they did 62 shoots, but not even a single goal scored.
This is also the reason why the better they go home earlier. Their performance has been downgrading like there's no bottom on it.

Many of their players played at top club, even some are at the best club in the world. However, they can't even build a better team that could deliver improved performance compared to their euro.
I think this becomes a generational banter to their nation.

Nobody call them as a dark horse anymore.

[Tonimez]

This game for me is going to be the toughest game of the Group E and the results of this game can decide the entire group group standings at the end. These two teams are leading, and I'm still almost certain that Ivory coast will still beat Curacao in their next game. This game is going to be tough even though Germany looks more fierce and has higher chances of winning the game. However, I think that Ivory coast will go very defensive and target getting a draw which will increase their chances of topping the table. If Germany draws this game, there will be high chances of drawing with Ecuador which will place them at the second place.

I don't know about the quality of the teams' lineups, I think Paraguay's defense played very well in this match, and they managed to score a goal, so there are no complaints about their attack either. As for Turkey's attack, there are a lot of complaints there, and they concern not only this match but also the match against Australia. So I don't think Turkey has anyone to blame but themselves. And yes, this World Cup will likely be over for them.

At this point, going three goals up and not conceding till the end of the game is something that is worth celebrating because we have seen that there no underdog in this world cup. you have to play to win and if you are able to score as much as three goals in a single game, it is surely a good game for the boys. After drawing against, all they needed to do is get this kind of result to prove that they are in for something big and for vini jnr that has scored in both matches, it is really going to be an exciting one for Carlo Ancelotti.

Paraguay's defense was very strong, but that was not the case. Turkiye's attacks were not  good. We saw a similar performance from Turkey against Australia. They were able to attack a lot in the first match as well. But, they failed to score against Australia and lost 2–0 . They also made  30+ shots against paraguay. Turkiye  also controlled the match. Even then  they were not able to score a single goal. We knew the Turkiye team to be  strong. But their  performance disappointed everyone.

[changaa]

That?s all about football it?s unpredictable a teams that you didn?t expected them to perform well will later bring out a positive results, let use today?s match between Portugal Congo DR as an example who expedited that Portugal will play draw against their opponents? Because everyone knows that their stronger than the Congo DR, but look at what happened at the end of the match they got a draw; and even in the statistics Portugal where dominated the entirely games.

I knows that a-lots of gamblers will lose their bet because most of them bet Portugal straight winning, and that?s why not all the time we can underrate weak the teams.

I can tell you that in the World Cup the patterns change a bit in the initial groups, in the end the players want to show themselves for many reasons, one of which is to get signed with a better salary perhaps by prestigious clubs.
So i expect. ultimately some surprises.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This World Cup games are something else, Turkey had an opportunity to get something against Paraguay with a man down but they couldn't find a way, the red carded country was even playing as if they are complete on the pitch. I don't know about the other games but you see Turkey and Scotland, they don't need to come back to play the next world cup again until they rebuild themselves and start playing something interesting because all what I saw was terrible, no wonder Morocco made a joke out of Scotland same as the Paraguay side against Turkey, what an annoying display by both nations (Turkey and Scotland).

[bitLeap]

I never expected Turkey to be eliminated from the World Cup so quickly. They failed to score in their last two matches. Four national teams have now been eliminated Africa, Qatar, Haiti, and Turkey. We might be surprised if Portugal fails to win their second match. Any disputes between players must be resolved quickly, and they must play for the common good if they are to qualify.

[blomen]

turkey lost the match against paraguay, which they had to win to advance in the world cup, after conceding a goal in the opening minutes. both australia and paraguay played with similar tactics against turkey, and both managed to win their matches solely through counterattack goals by playing a tight defense for the full 90 minutes. as a result, despite being a team with high potential in its group, turkey became the team guaranteed to be eliminated without scoring a single goal. it will play its third match against the united states, but that will be merely a formality, as the united states has already secured first place and turkey is guaranteed to finish last.
