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

[Rabata]

I don’t know why, but I see Germany, who previously performed impressively against Curacao, now seem to be struggling more against Ivory Coast. Germany still has decent possession, but Ivory Coast’s defense is really tight. My prediction is that there will be a strong push in the second half, and if they still struggle to score by the 60th minute, I think Germany will only win by a narrow margin.

The most surprising thing is that Ivory Coast are leading 0-1 in the first half. Germany seemed to be the favorite to win from the beginning of the match, but now it seems that the fight is going to be very difficult for Germany. Ivory Coast's defense looks very strong today, maybe they will try to hold on to the 1 goal lead and maybe they will be able to in the end.

The match has already become difficult for Germany, I now expect the match to be a draw or I expect Ivory Coast to win. However, Germany still has a big chance to come back. The main problem is Germany's performance, so far their performance is very bad. If they can improve their performance in the second half, then maybe Germany can finish the match with a win.

This match has started great, I want to see Germany win by a big margin, they will absolutely destroy their opponents if they get the chance. I am very confident about this match that Germany will definitely be able to beat Ivory Coast. Germany is a much better and stronger team than Ivory Coast, so Germany definitely has a higher chance of winning this match. The match has started and Germany is trying to create attacking opportunities first, I hope we will see Germany score a goal very soon.

The Ivory Coast national team’s performance tonight was unexpected, where they managed to score a goal in the first half that gave them a one-goal lead over the German national team. That goal left Neuer speechless. I’m sure many people didn’t expect this result by considering that the German national team was supposed to be the clear favorite for this match. But they seem to be struggling trailing by one goal against the Ivory Coast. I personally think Germany still has a great chance to turn things around in the second half. And they’ll use the halftime break to refine their tactics even further.

Omo, Ivory Coast scored first today in Toronto against Germany. This is unbelievable to me. Now I believe that football is full of surprises. Jessie opened the scoreline on the 30rh minutes to take the lead as the scoreline is currently, 1-0. However, there is enough time for the Germans to get an equaliser. This match isn't looking easy for the Germans like their first game.

The first half is over, and Ivory Coast still has a one-goal lead. This is truly a huge surprise, and if Ivory Coast can maintain this score until the end, they will automatically qualify from the group stage.
Actually, this isn't a big surprise, as Ivory Coast are indeed strong at the moment. In fact, I question Germany's strength, as I don't think the German team is particularly good at this year's World Cup.

On papers it should be an easy win for Germany, but Ivory Coast is a really good team that plays with an aggressive approach. Nico Schlotterbec is having some issues with his fitness, and hopefully he will be alright.

Germany should win this one based on the way they are playing. However, Ivory Coast is always looking for a counterattack and it would  be funny if they get through one time and take the lead.  .

Damn, this is one hell of a prediction. Ivory Coast scored the first goal. I was expecting Germany to score at any moment and taking the lead, but then all of a sudden Ivory Coast counter attacked and scored a goal. This is a big turning point in thematch.    

I placed a huge bet on Germany to win and if they do not score an equalizer soon, the pressure on me will increase just as much as it will for the Germans.  
 

Fuck man!!! It was really unexpected, as soon as they came on the field after the hydration break, Ivory Coast took the ball forward through an attack and scored 1 goal, it was really unexpected. I never expected Germany to end the first half 0-1.

But the first half of the match is only over, there are still many chances left, Germany will never lose the match so easily, they will definitely come back in the second half, and control the match in any way. I am still hopeful that Germany will win the match, they will definitely do better in the second half.

Ivory Coast are currently leading and may end the first half with the lead but the second half will be more intense for them, Germany will be pushing to get an equaliser and possibly more goals but this might be hard if Ivory Coast are able to hold on to the lead, defending well and possibly utilising any other chance they might get.

If Ivory Coast can hold on against Germany it will be another African Nation holding on to another top Nations, making us more remarkable.

Ivory Coast defense is very strong and unbreakable for the Germans in the first half. They tried all their best but they could only get two goals that was ruled out. The Germans dominated the game and played better than Ivory Coast but that goal opportunity from a rebound puts Ivory Coast upfront and made the difference in the first half.

It doesn't look like my boys would be able to score a lot in this game. Except for a few smaller moments that carried some hope, this wasn't a good halftime for Germany. It is going to be an even tougher second halftime as Ivory Coast exactly knows what to do now. They will defend and to be honest this is what they are good at as they have proven against France for a very long time. And Germany isn't France

The funny part about football is the fact that the second half that Germany is planning to come back into the game and probably equalize the goal and win might even be worse than the first half, because their opponent have had a little bit of solid defence, but the German team don't have a solid defence and I wonder why the coach did not introduce Rudiger in that German central defence from the beginning. The German team have good attacking approach, but poor defence mechanism and it has affected them throughout the first hal, how they are going to deal with that in the second half is what we are waiting to see in this second half.

The Germans dominated the game and played better than Ivory Coast but that goal opportunity from a rebound puts Ivory Coast upfront and made the difference in the first half.

Good game from Ivory Coast  in the first half they are trying so hard to withstand the attacking force of Germany by not letting them to have control of the game but now that they managed to win 0:1 in the first half they have a better job to do in the second half because Germany players will be out to break their defense to look for goals which will also give Ivory Coast the opportunity to score more goals if they will utilize their opportunities very well in the second half.

Before the game so many of us even I my self expected that Germany will win again Ivory Coast so comfortable without any stress based on their impressive first game, but Ivory Coast showed us that they did not come to Toronto just to play but they came prepared, and seeing the way the match is going am actually afriad of them this year and u I don’t think I will understand estimate them no matter the team they play against next. Tho Germany tried in this first half and I think they still have enough quality and experience to turn up  if they respond well in this second half.

If cote dvoire are going to depend on defending throughout the second half then Germany will not only equalize but they would actually win the game, if the Cote dvoire coach understands something is that you can't defend all though second half, legs would get wick and just some brilliant passes can break the defense.
I am expecting the African side to come out this second half and even try to score so they can take the game out of the reach of the European side.

[Mayor of ogba]

After all the dominance of Germany in the first 45 minutes played, Ivory Coast dramatically took the lead from a goal scored by Kessie in the 30th minute although Germany two goals was disallowed. Germany will be more fierce in the second half in order to win the match at full time, but if Ivory Coast defense remain solid in the second half the way they were in the first half they might likely defend their one goal lead against Germany and walk away with the three points.

[Berry2d]

Senegal was over flogged because what we have seen around from this action, it left for the one with the information that is why you can keeps aside whatever outcome those team place in their up coning games in the world cups and that is the most importantly, so we need to be careful and not jump into conclusions that a team like Senegal will be having issues in they game ahead simply because of how they performed in their opening matches.

Well, Senegal is a team that now has to give it their all. They can't afford to lose anymore. It's a team that has to start now, leaving their heart and soul on the field. I couldn't see it any other way. It's a team that if they don't win, they're out. And if they win, if they win big, all the better, because otherwise it will be very difficult for them. At least they should be able to compete for the best third-place finishes and advance to the round of 16. That's what they can and must achieve. It's difficult, yes, but it's possible.

Even if everything is possible i don't think Senegal victoriously qualifying in this group stage game is what am  sure can come to pass even if they play with 24 players at once In the football.
I will boldly say Senegal where not lucky enough the same way other Africa teams where In this on going world cup tournament, the Senegalise team group stage features is considered one of the most competitive group stage  so far as the champion of Africa will not make it to the next stage of the tournament this season. To start with i will say its quite unfortunate for Senegal as there long hope will be cut so soon.

Notwithstanding, both countries are going to qualify. Ivory Coast needs to win tonight to seal their spot in the knockout phase, Germany are the ones desperately looking for a draw, if Ivory coast can continue playing like all through the second half or add another goal to max the lead, it will help them relax a bit, and make other substitutions, so first team players can rest for another fixtures.

Ivory Coast are missing too many opportunities, even inside the 18 yard box, with still much time, it's enough for Germany to do a comeback, any low effort from Ivory Coast Germany might equalize and lead the score, there is still much to do.

I hate to say this but I doubt it because Germany can't find the right actions for the time being. They are making wrong decisions, one after the other. And apart from that Cote Dvoire is actually pushing if you look at it now. it is only question of time until they will score the second goal and not Germany the equalizer.

Yeah, the match has started and currently now their in the half time, I can see that the first half was little tough for Germany. Because Ivory Coast was leading them by one goal; Germany only dominated the entire ball statistics the high chances of Germany winning this match has failed in the first but we can wait and see how the second half either they will be able to equalize back.

Because I’m very sure Ivory Coast will still hold them tight in order for to secure their goal, and again they will also like to create another opportunities to double their lead.

What the F**k....!!!!
Let me check....

Oh my goodness that's crazy. To be honest Germany is super favorite for victory but unfortunately now we are seeing that Ivory Coastis just dragging then into cage. Literally this is too surprising for me because before the match I call up on Germany with my brother but now when I monitor the POV of match then it's was totally different like Germany the team who are very bright starts at their first match but unfortunately are too sloppy to struggle with a goals....

However, first half was over and ultimately Ivory Coast has took the lead. Germany was hardly struggling for goal but can't find it even they have much more progressive display wehther it's ball possession or it's in shot on attempt but still grab nothing. Let's see what happens next til 90 minutes.

[Woodie]

Looking at how this Germany Ivory Coast game is going, I don't think this game has many goal scoring chances neither will Ivory Coast allow this 3points slip their fingers after being drawn in a very tough group.. And honestly the Germans aren't looking creative for this fixture or maybe they intend to finish in 2nd play and losing deliberately...

Inplay prediction: Germany 0-1 Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast as be defending very well in this second half since they get one goal lead against Germany and they are doing everything possible to end the game with three point and qualify for next around but Germany are doing everything possible to get the draw or achieve the three point but with how the game is going he will be difficult for Germany to achieve three point in this game. I didn’t expect Ivory Coast can get the chance to score Germany but World Cup is different from other competitions you can’t underestimate any team in the word cup.

[Mayor of ogba]

Germany has full control of the game because they had ball possession in the first 45 minutes, while Ivory Coast was busy defending and stopping Germany from scoring but they managed to score a goal against Germany and win the first half. The second half has already started, and Ivory Coast is still playing well they are even pressing hard to get a second goal but they should be mindful of their defense so that Germany won't equalize and prevent them to take the three points.
