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

[Churchillvv]

I am expecting more goals from Ronaldo because the match looks very easy for them since the Portuguese came with full force this time around. The first half will soon come to an end

The second half has started; I hope Ronaldo scores a hat trick in this match. Judging by how the game has unfolded so far, with Portugal dominating play, I predict Portugal will beat Uzbekistan 4-0.

This is the prayer of all Ronaldo fans, yeah I agree with the idea of 4-0 or anything above as long as Portugal wins but however why is it so important for you guys Ronaldo fans to get a hat trick? Just to continue with arguement or to prove something? Well I hope Ronaldo himself does not fall in for the trap of competition which is predominantly set by his fans over the performs of the his fans self acclaimed opponent.

Argentina managed to defeat Austria thanks to goals by Lionel Messi. With his two goals, Messi became the top scorer in the World Cup. Although he missed a penalty in the first half, he still managed to score before halftime. Messi once again decided the outcome of the match, scoring in the final minutes. Argentina has secured its place in the knockout stage. Whether Austria will advance from the group stage will be determined in their match against Algeria.

Messi performance was great in the last match because he did 2 goals in this match and opponent team score was zero in this match because they could not do any goal in this match. Messi was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 38 minutes and he gave good start to his team And after that goal there was fear on opponent team players and they did full effort to do goal in this match . Players of Austria national football team should try to do attack on opponent team and their shots were 6 in this match and 1 shot was on target and possession percentage of that team was 46 percent in this match which was low in this match and their pass accuracy was also less in this match.

Just unfortunate that politics almost stole the headline for a sport that is loved around the world, otherwise the worldcup is unfolding wonderfully  

The goat 🐐 Cristiano Ronaldo competitive as always could not allow Messi and company to steal all the thunder without having a say in this.. of course not strong opposition but a goal is a goal .. maybe 4goals will be scored in the current game against Uzbekistan

Lets go team Portugal 🎉🎉

Portugal has now scored a total of 4 goals in this match. i hope Cristiano Ronaldo can score again in this match and complete a hat trick. This would make the World Cup even more exciting, as two legends, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would have each scored a hat trick in the same World Cup. Or it would be even more incredible if CR7 scored 4 goals in a single match.  

With plenty of time left in the second half, I think there will definitely be at least one more goal in this match, because Uzbekistan seems to be losing focus, and they’re also running into a wall with every attack they build.

This game seems to show that Cristiano Ronaldo's form has returned. If that is the case, Cristiano Ronaldo can score a hat-trick like Messi in this World Cup and it is very likely to happen. Nuno Mendes scored a great goal. Today my prediction is that Portugal will score 4 and Uzbekistan will score 1. Now let's see what happens in the end.The fans were very critical of Cristiano Ronaldo's performance and Portugal's performance at the beginning of the World Cup, but today's game gave a fitting answer to those critics. I hope Cristiano Ronaldo will give the best performance of his career in this World Cup.

[Frankolala]

Ronaldo has just scored his first goal in this world cup on the 6rh minutes of the game with a magnificent finish. He becomes the first player to score in six consecutive world cups. Ronaldo is also the oldest time player that has scored in the world cup. Ronaldo has just arrived at the world cup and I'm expecting more goals from him.

Portugal 1-0 UZB

He needed to score against World Cup debutants like Uzbekistan, Ronaldo is a top player and players of his capabilities are supposed to shine in the World Cup. The pressure was getting to much on him and he needed to silence his critics. I’m glad he has got the first goal, I pray he gets a brace or hat trick in today’s match.

I was hoping for the same thing. And that hope finally came true. Portugal played to their full potential in this match. And I’m glad Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score two truly impressive goals in the end at this World Cup. Bruno Fernandes’ assist was also incredible. He really is a player who shines when placed in the right position.
And it seems that whenever João Félix is brought in early, the team always has better luck. Even though Félix didn’t record an assist, his presence seemed to throw the opponent’s defense off a bit. This kid really should be played more often. He often brings good luck to the team and to CR7 as well.

Lolz. Portugal is playing with a weak team and it's not because Joao Felix is in the field early than expected that brought good luck to the team. Ronaldo started the game well and his early goal gave the Portuguese more confidence that he's at their back with his full support. Joao Felix is a good player and his impact is good for the team to move forward in this game.

The last game against Dr Congo the Portugal midfielders didn't create enough chance they were just passing back pass and it affected the team, not just Ronaldo, the team performance was very poor. Today we see another version of Portugal and attack more and crosses too, that's why Ronaldo could score two goals in the first half.

If they can perform like this they might get to the final answer win the world cup, Uzbekistan is not a good taste for Portugal but Ronaldo needed to score to build his confidence in this world cup, their next match is against Colombia a top side , I'm sure Portugal will definitely win and end at the top of the table in this group. C. Ronaldo has arrived with two goals, he will keep scoring if the opportunity is given.

The most satisfying thing for me in today's match is that CR7 scored his goal and even though he still has a chance for a hat-trick, the team work that was missing in the Portugal team is visible again in today's match. There is a proper understanding between Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates and this is mainly why Portugal managed to score four goals in today's match and are completely dominating in today's match.
There are still at least 20 minutes left for the message to be sent. I hope Portugal can score more in the meantime. Cristiano Ronaldo has already had a lot of good chances but unfortunately Uzbekistan's goalkeeper made a great save.

Like I mentioned in this thread multiple times, you cannot complain that Cristiano Ronaldo did not perform in the last game, just count the number of times he actually received the ball in the last match. The team was not playing properly and their defense was a joke.

Now Portugal is playing like a rejuvenated side, and they are trying to play around Ronaldo, which is exactly what was missing in the first match. Now all the team members are trying to pass the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, so that he can score his hat-trick.

[programmer3666]

CR7 just announced himself on the biggest stage with two stunning goals in the World Cup! The first was a classic finish, the second was pure poetry, ice cold composure, trademark celebration and that leap that sends shivers down every defender's spine. You can see it in his eyes, he is happy. The kind of happiness that comes from silencing doubters on football's grandest stage. And honestly!! we the fans are over the moon. This is the CR7 we know, the one who thrives when the world watches, the one who writes his own script. And the best part!! This is just the beginning. More goals loading, more history to rewrite, more records to shatter. Now we can finally banter in peace, no more he is finished, no more past his prime. The goat is grazing, and he is hungry for more.

Portugal played very well in this match, currently leading by four goals and Ronaldo scored twice. He could have scored more in the remaining time. Portugal performance in this match answered all the criticism that Portugal internal problems were brewing, but in this match, they showed their unity and this was evident in the second goal. Everyone would have expected Ronaldo to take the free kick. The camera even focused on Ronaldo's face. But in a plot twist, Mendes suddenly stepped forward struck the ball with such force that the goalkeeper was helpless.

On the other hand, Ronaldo also made history in this match. These two goals made him the first player to score in six World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2020, and 2026). No other player has ever scored in six different World Cups. That record now stands in his own name.

Both Messi and Ronaldo consistently break records. Messi is the all-time top World Cup scorer, while Ronaldo is the only player to score in six different World Cups.

True in the previous match we couldn't blame the Cristiano Ronaldo for the not winning of Portugal because on that match there is no proper understanding with the others teammate of his. Even I think if his teammates had passed the ball to him properly in that match, maybe we would have seen a better performance there than Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, I am happy today that these imperfections have become perfection today. But I would have been happiest until the last minute if Ronaldo had scored a hat-trick today. I hope he can score another in the remaining 10 to 15 minutes.

Netherlands started well and I thought this match would be very difficult, but the Netherlands won by a big margin where Sweden could not put up any resistance. Netherlands' victory by just 5-1 goals will definitely keep them far ahead.

The Netherlands have so far secured 4 points from the two matches they have played. Of course, the victory over Sweden has given them a better chance of going further in the 2026 World Cup, but there is no guarantee that the Netherlands will easily advance to the next round. The next match will likely be easier, given that Tunisia appears weaker than either Sweden or Japan, but I wouldn't go so far as to guarantee an easy win for the Netherlands in that game.

Netherlands vs Sweden is one of the most important game in FIFA World Cup 2026. Its a huge win for Netherlands with a huge margin of 5-1. Netherlands give a full piece of team work and sequence. The whole team gave absolute a top notch performance and secure their position on 1st position on the table. The defense line make a strong wall and stop opposition strongly and block their attacks . The midfield line also maintain tempo in whole game and make chance and provide striker to strike the goal and striker also performed well. Sweden is now on the 3rd position and in danger and have to comeback strong to reach in next round.the have to taught from their mistakes and have to work on teamwork and discipline. No doubt upcoming games of Netherlands will against the weak teams like Japan and Seweden but in game every team can be treated as an opponent not as a weak or strong team.

Well, the match is now in the 80th minute. and yeah, one more goal would be great. But it seems like Portugal isn’t maintaining their faster attacking pace anymore. They seem content with the lead they have. So it’s possible the score will stay the same until the end. I’m satisfied with the current score as well.

Now Leao has been brought in to replace Vitinha; maybe this substitution will inject a little fresh energy into the team.

I hope the same happens for the English national team. Because I’m also rooting for England in today’s match against Ghana. The last few World Cup matches seem to have been easier to predict. And I’m sure many have been lucky with their bets over the past few days.

I am just wondering that after this kind of performance from the Cristiano Ronaldo what was the reaction of Ishowspeed I am talking about the popular social influencer who claimed that he was the biggest CR7 fan.
However, the match is slowly coming to an end and there are only five minutes left and if the referee gives another five minutes of extra time, the total can be 10 minutes. And if Ronaldo can score his hat-trick in the meantime, then maybe the missing piece in today's match will be filled up.

[Crypto Library]

Oho,, one more score from the Portugal but currently it is from the Rafael Leão, Personally, I think that if this goal had been scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, we might have seen more crowds in the stadium.
I was actually really expecting CR7 to score another goal today, even though Portugal have had more chances in the last few minutes, but Cristiano Ronaldo has not been able to score another. Now I have only one regret that Cristiano Ronaldo could not score a hat-trick. There are still four minutes left, let's see what happens.

You just need to understand that Cristiano Ronaldo fans want to prove a point that's why they are hoping for him to get a hat trick just as Lionel Messi did. I think that Lionel Messi and Ronaldo rivalry and banter from fans is what is making the world cup interesting. However, both players are great in their own ways. I even want Cristiano Ronaldo to score a hat trick so that we will see more banter between their fans on social media. That's what competition is all about and not when only one person is getting the accolades.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Portugal are doing the exact same thing Spain have done.    A bad start with a draw vs a much weaker competitor and then a huge win against another such team...

But the important thing for them is that Ronaldo is playing much better. He needs to keep this level in the upcoming games also. But I don't know if he can do that like Messi does.


Anyway there is an England vs Ghana game to be played in an hour too. That should be too easy for England especially after watching them play great against Croatia.

[GIF-JOBS]

I am really surprised to see the great comeback that Portugal is showing now, they keep scoring goals, I am especially happy to see Ronaldo's comeback, after a bad performance in the first match, he has come back great in this match, he scored the first goal in the 6th minute, after that Nuno scored a goal in the 17th minute, Ronaldo scored another goal in the 39th minute, Ronaldo scored 2 goals in this match, now Portugal's score is 5 and Uzbekistan's 0, the match is almost over, but overall Portugal has come back great with a really surprising performance, this match was really great.

[icebar]

wonderful performance from Ronaldo he always fine a way to shout those that criticize him up, he may end up scoring a hat trick in this match and when that happens those that always criticize and say he won’t contribute anything in this World Cup will shout up, at his age his still doing very well I’m sure with this goals he has scored in this match he will do well in other matches.
I’m waiting for the second half to start I’m praying and wishing he scores a hat trick so he will be on the race to win the golden ball in this World Cup. More goals are coming .

Ronaldo is undoubtedly a good player. It is not possible to say that he will always perform well. Although his performance was good in the first match, he did not get the chance to score for various reasons. But in today's match, he used the opportunities he got from the beginning. In my opinion, such world-class players should not be criticized unnecessarily for the mistakes of one match. Because players do not perform the same in every match. But the performance of world-class players will definitely be memorable. Although the Uzbekistan team is not very strong, Ronaldo did not play well in the last match, but it is hoped that he will return to form in this match.

[Shishir99]

Finally, his teammates passed him the ball. I predicted that Ronaldo would score and become the first man to score in six World Cups. Congratulations to him. Another thing I was waiting for was his hat-trick. As a Ronaldo fan, I will have a great night tonight. I was supposed to post this during halftime. But I was waiting to see if he could score more goals today. Uzbekistan was totally destroyed by Portugal today!

I would like to see Portugal in the semi-finals, and I expect other Ronaldo fans to expect more from the Portugal team. This will be his last World Cup, and I want him to do something this time. Even if they cannot win the World Cup, they should make it till the semi-final.
