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

[LUCKMCFLY]

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.

The advantage of this World Cup is a constant: the African teams have surprised many, and that's undeniable. The chances are slim, but these teams are strong, they don't give up, they fight until the end, and that's something I love about football. There's nothing worse than a team surrendering completely to another, especially when they know the other team has more history and a much higher pedigree.

And currently another negative news for the Belgium team and that is Nathan Ngoy one of their good defencer receive the record from the referee. I think now it's going to more harder for the Belgium to win even I think this match could be also a draw.

IfIran plays their card very well, they should be able to win the game instead, of ending it as draw. This is because short one is a good advantage for the Iranians but Belgium has immediately, made a substitute and bring in a defender in other for them to play a defensive game to stop Iran from penetrating their defense for a goal.

Spain is one of the favorites to win this World Cup. In the first match against Cabo Verde, they failed to score, so the match ended in a draw. However, they managed to score four goals against Saudi Arabia today, a team that also won a match against Argentina last season. What a comeback for Spain. People were trolling Spain last week, calling it a mini-Barcelona team, yet they failed to win a match against a weak team like Cabo Verde. But Spain won the match today and proved who the boss is.

Another new hit me yesterday that the fans of Ronaldo even commented on Diego Jota's instagram to pass the ball without even knowing that he died last year. I understand that the fans might be fraustrated because the Portugal players aren't passing the ball to Ronaldo, but you guys should know who has passed out already.

Belgium was strong on paper in today's game, but we can see that the Iranian team is playing with a lot of determination and talent. In fact Iran had a chance to win this match because a Belgian player received a red card in the 67th minute, so it seems to me that the Iranian team might be able to defeat the 10-man Belgium team. One thing to note is that each team in Group G of this World Cup has not lost a match because they have drawn all of their matches, in that context, after watching the game between Belgium and Iran today, it seems like it could also be a draw, if Iran wins this World Cup match today, they will be much ahead of Belgium.

It's been more than 10 minutes after one of the Belgian players got a red card, but Iran still hasn't been able to make good use of this situation to score a goal, even that advantage doesn't make a big difference at all, because Belgium is still able to dominate the game with only 10 people, maybe Belgium can still win this match, but it seems that a draw is indeed a result that looks quite likely to happen, after all the iran defense here is very solid. Their group is quite interesting, all teams still have a chance to qualify automatically.

With what I saw in that edition of the AFCON, I don't think the Africans are putting in the numbers that I expected, there defensive plays are superb but find almost all of then in the threshold of drawing or losing and it's wild, the lost irritating one was the yesterday's match where they managed to hold on to that lead for long and ended up losing the match, that's the areas that needs improvement

I haven't seen anything so far that would justify Brazil's odds at this world cup. BTW, Stake has downgraded their odds to win the trophy. Latest odds are:

1. France: 4.50
2. Spain: 7.00
3. Englnad: 7.00
4. Argentina: 9.00
5. Portugal: 11.00
6. Germany: 13.00
7. Brazil: 13.50

Previously, for both Brazil and Argentina, the odds were same (11.00). Argentina moved up, while Brazil went down after the initial set of matches. Same with France and Spain. France has moved up, while Spain got downgraded. 

After watching the qualifiers and the recent 10 games of Brazil and Argentina, assuming that they have the same odds were the mistake to begin with. Yes it is not the same now, and yes Argentina looks better, but I would put Brazil even lower if it was me who decided these odds.

But yeah, looking at the results, Germany doesn't look like they have that much high chance neither, neither Portugal. I feel like those three teams together do not have a combined chance as much as France or Spain does.

Spain really put on a big show. But I'm sad about their not showing the same performance against Cape Verde before. I also had a bet placed on that match. Now I didn't bet on this one and we watched 4 goals.



Meanwhile Belgium are really disappointing for their fans. They couldn't score for a long time and with a red card things are even harder. Lukaku has been too bad for 2 matches as well.

This is because short one is a good advantage for the Iranians but Belgium has immediately, made a substitute and bring in a defender in other for them to play a defensive game to stop Iran from penetrating their defense for a goal.

Iran was trying their hard but they couldn't be successful actually here I think the main reason is the striking format of Iran is not much stronger but they were also not getting any goal because of their strong defence especially right now I am seeing another shot from Belgium team but unfortunately again the goalkeeper make a great save.

If I talk about the goal attempt then Belgium tried 18 time and on the other hand Iran tried only 6times. And there is only 3 minute to left even if referee gave the extra time then it could be 8 minute total and I don't think Belgium will be able to score one goal.

Looking at the odds that was given to Spain I wasn't even interested in placing the bet as I knew it was close to worthless, I dislike playing Spain's match because there odds are always too small and you cannot even give there opponents to score a goal because there defense is also terribly strong. But still the biggest difference from that Spains last game and now is simply LAMINE YAMAL !!!

This is another reason why I believe that odds don't play the game a team can be see as the favourite to win on paper but changes do happen in the field and that's exactly what's happening in this game tonight, Belgium was supposed to have taken the lead in the first half after dominating the game and making good attempts but the Iran goal keeper and his defenders had been very smart to defend and stop
Belgium from scoring. Iran is at advantage now since a player from Belgium was given a red card it will be an advantage if Iran can manage to score before the final whistle it will put them at the top of the group now.

Time was running out and the score was still unchanged. I think it's going to be goalless until the end because apart from Belgium not being able to find their stride at the moment Iran are also struggling to make the most of the numbers on the pitch at the moment.

It's a hard thing to accept because I thought being in an almost easy group Belgium had a greater chance of qualifying but 2 games and 2 draws is really a downfall for the current Belgian squad.
Even though this is one of the leading teams but it seems that for now Belgium's performance is decreasing even though their squad cannot be said to be ordinary for player material.

[Woodie]

With the Iranian geopolitics going on, I was more than certain that these boys have something to prove after all the frustrations of getting to the USA and all that.. and honestly it would be interesting to have them play for longer just to make this competition interesting..

Otherwise Belgium very disappointed in this team, and red card has nothing to do with this

Exactly as I said, it is going to happen, after three minutes have passed, now the remaining 5 minutes have been added and more than half of that time has passed, still no team is showing the expected performance, but Belgium is trying to attack again and again, but here again, Iran's defense is performing very well, due to which they are failing again and again. However, in the end, Iran played defensively but played amazingly today, especially the Iranian goalkeeper who was there, worked as an amazing savior for Iran.

But in the end, I will say that this match was full of excitement, and when there is excitement, the match is enjoyable.

[BIT-BENDER]

It's looking like Belgium is about to have another disastrous world cup tournament, they have only recorded a point and one own goal from the red card they have taking in this current match against Iran it is looking most likely that they are about to play out a draw.
For me beligum has been very disappointing they should have lost their first game but were very lucky to even get a point from that game, I am certain that they don't have anything to contribute towards this tournament even if they qualify from the group stage.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Brazilian Matheus Cunha destroyed Haiti yesterday with just two shots. With the right amount of pace and timing, he made the brace look so easy for Brazil. I love the fact that Vinicius Jnr was more about creating opportunities for others to score, since he was constantly kept at a close pace marking from that wing. Unlike him, he didn't make the match about himself and he even celebrated during what looked to be a deflected first goal, even though he made the entire run from his wing.
Raphinha also made a few runs, but would either score an offside goal/lose control over the ball right in front of the keeper. They got 39days to decide who lifts this trophy for the next 4 years.

The game as ended in a draw, I can says that Belgium have do there best in the match and if not because of the red card Belgium can get the more chance to win the game. Iran as show that they are good team and both team have miss many chances that can lead to goals what a nice performance for both team since they have share the point, drawing is good for both because if Belgium didn’t defence when they get red card that can lead them to lose the match.

 I can probably said what really self Iran is there goal keeper, he as safe a lot of short that will be goal what a nice performance from him. There last game will be final and if they fail they will be eliminated in the word cup probably.

Even with Belgium having one man down due to the Ngoy red card, the bookies still had them to be the favorites to win the match. If Iran were more attacking afterwards but, Belgium drew a defensive tactic to neutralize their attacks not to yield any effect. When the click was almost running out, they went on the offense and started attacking If Iran a lot more. They had some good chances towards the end of the game but, they just weren’t getting the balls on target. Belgium once more comes out without a win.

[Stavri]

yeah. looking at Turkey's squad depth in the 2002 World Cup, especially the midfielders and forwards, they were truly world class players back then. current Turkish national team doesn't even come close to the 2002 squad.

Everything becomes clearer when we compare it to its own era, but there is one more thing...

When Türkiye finished third in the World Cup, we didn’t face any European teams after the group stage. In other words, we had both a strong squad and lucky draws at the time...

However, the biggest reason for the failure in this World Cup was the lack of a forward. If you look at the statistics, we played much better than our opponents in both matches, created far more scoring opportunities, and had much more ball possession, but we couldn’t score...

yes, Turkey’s 2002 World Cup performance has always been underestimated just because they reached the semi finals without facing a European team. on the contrary they had already reached the quarter finals in Euro 2000 two years earlier. besides 2026 Turkish national team proved that it's not that simple. they didn't face any European teams either and they couldn't even score a goal.

Spain does looked superior from the very on set so seeing them win this game with a good margin did not come off as a surprise to me as I have known they were going to win and that too must have affected the odds, the casino does knew they were going  to win and so gave the small odds and then you could win good if you placed a good bet on it.

The game ended in a draw, it's just what I expected and I'm glad my bet ticket still ongoing. Belgium has been a disapointment in this World Cup and I don't see them going far in the tournament this time. The red card surely has nothing to do with it they are playing badly. Towards the end Iran did quite well and took some decent shots but all stopped by Curtoise.

Brazilian Matheus Cunha destroyed Haiti yesterday with just two shots. With the right amount of pace and timing, he made the brace look so easy for Brazil.

Cunha is far better than Tiago in that role and I am glad that the coach is now aware of that. Sometimes it not just about amount of goals scored but how well a striker can connect with other players and while scoring as well. Cunha is more impactful than Tiago and I think he is the right choice and should be the first choice for Brazil. If Brazil can play as a team then they should be able to last a little longer.
