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

Anyway, apart from that, Brazil will face Scotland today, there is no doubt that Brazil will definitely win the match, and I am really excited about that Neymar might play today.

I am not having high hopes for Brazil in this World Cup considering how they played the first match. Neymar is returning to the team after an injury and I am curious to see how he performs and how the team revolves around him.

Switzerland Vs Canada: Draw.
Morocco Vs Haiti: Morocco
Scotland Vs Brazil: Brazil

My prediction for this Scotland vs Brazil match would be GG because both teams are not quite in their best form though Brazil has the upper hand for a win in this game.

Switzerland vs Canada is also a GG or Over 1.5 outcome for me.

I don't think that your prediction will be fair because their goals will be more than 1.5, it was the initial time the FIFA World Cup was not being predictable and whatever we expected was going contrary but I think matches have started officially many countries are not performing a way they started from initial... at first it was draw all over but in the recent matches we are recording winning and also recording over 1.5 so I agree with your prediction

[xzone]

England failing to beat Ghana, Spain failing to beat Cape Verde, at this point we are seeing way too many shocking results and there were some more. I think it's clear that we are going to see group stages always being shocking. Like last world cup, Germany failed to even get out.

So group stages are not perfect places to bet, it ends up with not good results and you end up with bad bets that you lose. Afterwards is easier, at least by quarter finals you know which team is the better team and unexpected results happens very less. Not that it's impossible to have lower, it can still have some lower but it is not as common and should not be something that we can focus on that much, it can be done a lot better if we wait.

We can always see surprise results in World Cups; we watch hundreds of different players from all over the world, and tactical mistakes can happen because teams aren't used to playing against each other. On the other hand, footballers are under a heavy psychological burden; national team matches are always stressful.
I think that's why the World Cup is fun; it gives us the chance to get to know unknown players

[Akbarkoe]

The match between Canada and Switzerland has started, and I am really in complete uncertainty about this match, because both Canada and Switzerland are very good and strong teams, so whatever can happen in the match is completely uncertain, both teams are performing at an equal pace, so it is very difficult to say who will win the match. I cannot be in favor of anyone in the match, there is a also good chance that the match will be a draw.

The match is currently led by Switzerland with a score of 1-0 goal scored by Ruben Vargas, what I see is that Switzerland is much more able to play well, they play a lot of balls and dominate the match so well that it is very difficult for Canada to attack, but they are quite clever even though there are few opportunities that they can maximize, while this guess leads to the Switzerland goal from Canada, it just hasn't produced a single goal, Canada can turn things around if the Swiss players start to lose focus, and it could be with a quick counterattack.

[Ruttoshi]

The both teams have had a fair share of the ball tonight in front of goal but it's just that the finishing killing finish is missing and it's not gonna be long again before one side breaks the deadlock and it's looking like Switzerland but they would need to be careful too because Canada are looking very dangerous anytime they counter with the ball and in a game like this a one good chance can change the whole faith of game for any of the side who feels they are performing more or holding more possession of the ball.

What a surprise from Switzerland as they have already scored two goals in the first 12 minutes to make the scoreline is 2-0. The first goal was scored on the first minute of the second half by Vargas and the second one was scored by Manzambi on the 57th minutes of the game.

Switzerland has taken full control of the game and they've become a big threat to their opponents. Canada is the only host country that's finding it difficult to win their matches in the group stage. Can Canada come back from two goals down because there is still a lot of time for them to get an equaliser is they are able to the task.

The World Cup is just surprising, and it’s kind of difficult to predict matches most especially when the top teams are playing. I don’t know how England ended up playing draw against Ghana. It’s a match which I was thinking England were just going to humiliate Ghana, I was expecting England to score more than 2 goals in the match, but the match ended as a draw, England couldn’t get even a goal in the match which is really embarrassing and shameful.

Ghana played well in the match, they completely blocked their defense, they didn’t give England any opportunity to score in the match. England completely dominated the match, but Ghana made their defense so strong, they just wanted the match to end as draw, and they were able to achieve that.

I think what happened in this game and I stand to be corrected is that , England must have underestimated Ghana. Just like Portugal may have done with Congo in their first match. Ghana was the underdog because for some people they had already give match to England, happy that it wasn’t the case. Are we going to see a repeat of Ghana in 2010 World Cup where they got to the semi-finals?

[hyudien]

Wow I'm just noticing something, if Portugal should end second in their group they are likely to meet with Argentina in the quarter finals, interesting I'd really love to see that happen, it's definitely gonna be one heck of a match it will certainly be the most viewed match for this year FIFA world cup, and I'm actually expecting Argentina to win that game because the Portuguese team is not really that well organized like that of the Argentine, though Portugal has got more formidable squad than Argentina but they are not corporate.

If these two teams reach the quarterfinals and meet there, it will be a match that everyone is looking forward to, which will be a big moment, like an el clasico, the spotlight will be on the two legendary stars Ronaldo and Messi and most likely this will also be the last meeting for them which makes it even more special, but to get there, they need to prove it by beating their opponents in the last 32 and last 16 which will not be easy.

Can Canada come back from two goals down because there is still a lot of time for them to get an equaliser is they are able to the task.

Switzerland played very well in today's match and that made it difficult for Canada to show their dominance like against Qatar in the previous match.
In the second half the tension changed and this made Canada struggled with the rhythm of the Swiss game so they continued to be pressured in this match even though Canada's counterattacks can still be said to be quite good but when there are still no goals they have managed to create I think they will still be quite depressed in this match.

Currently they still have a chance to be able to equalize the score because time is still there and what they have to do is create goals as quickly as possible so that their confidence increases in the remaining time.

Edit :
Canada managed to score and reduce the deficit this time
 
Switzerland 2-1 Canada
They still have a chance in the last 10 minutes.

My prediction for this Scotland vs Brazil match would be GG because both teams are not quite in their best form though Brazil has the upper hand for a win in this game.

Switzerland vs Canada is also a GG or Over 1.5 outcome for me.

The prediction looks pretty fair to me and also the meaning of over 1.5 is not that they would score below one gaol but however what the prediction is saying is that there would be more than a goal on the match so it doesn't matter how many they score but so long as is not a goal, Sammye3 prediction will have win on his bet. From Sammye3 prediction on Switzerland and Canada he has already won the game because they have already played GG and also above 1.5 has been scored because Switzerland is wining 2:1 against Canada and he also have a good chance to win the Scotland.

It  may likely happen this is if Columbia draw or win against Portugal on Sunday, but i don't think Portugal will want this to happen too soon because definitely one of them will be eliminated so Portugal will want to win Columbia to avoid this clash. I have known the Argentina as a country that usually comes to the world cup with a more quality players than the Portuguese maybe it's now that those quality players are not much in Argentina even as that i still see them as a team that has more better players than Portugal, but if this happens i believe it will be the most watch match in the this year world cup.

[allthebitandbobs]

Ronaldo showed once again why he deserves to be in the same discussion as Messi. While I am a Messi fan over Ronaldo, it's clear that Ronaldo is a great player too.

Some Messi fans act as if he is not even top five, but lets be real, the only reason why we love Messi, is because he had someone to compare him to, in a world where Ronaldo did not existed, Messi's achievements would have been lesser, he wouldn't push himself too much, he would have won so easily and would have been simple. I like Ronaldo, he is great, kudos to him for doing this at age 41.

It’s a match which I was thinking England were just going to humiliate Ghana, I was expecting England to score more than 2 goals in the match, but the match ended as a draw, England couldn’t get even a goal in the match which is really embarrassing and shameful.

Ghana played well in the match, they completely blocked their defense, they didn’t give England any opportunity to score in the match. England completely dominated the match, but Ghana made their defense so strong, they just wanted the match to end as draw, and they were able to achieve that.

This is just how I expected the World Cup should be. No team had too much time to train and fix themselves especially the big teams that's why they still struggle a bit to win some matches. England deserved to win the game against Ghana but Ghana came with the preparation of defending the game till the end and it worked out well for them. England didn't do well at first, they didn't take risks and didn't create chances but towards the end they had some decent chance to take the lead but sadly they failed to take advantage, even Harry Kane missed a pretty decent chance.

I never expected Ghana to play this well, they also had their chances but couldn't make use it. This was the result Ghana wanted and they got it but England wanted more but couldn't get it.

[Obim34]

I don't even know who to pick for that final fixture for Group L, Croatia meets it bad as Ghana is one of the worse teams to meet when they are at the advantage like what they did with England. If they could play a draw game with England's terrifying attack, I don't know what is installed for the Croatian team. I didn't expect this type of performance from them

It won't be a goalless fixture both sides will find the back of the net. Ghana was mostly defensive against England, if they kept a balanced defense and attack at equal length, England would have taken advantage and scored the winner.

Croatia is not only a weaker side, so i will give them a benefit of doubt to be able to score Ghana since Ghana wouldn't want to settle for another draw, in order to score, they have to attack more and it could be an advantage or disadvantage depending, but a comfortable option for me is an over 0.5 or both sides to score.

[red4slash]

So in my opinion, the most exciting part of Group L is the battle for second place as both teams face each other and must defeat each other. First place is certainly England especially since the final game will see them face Panama a weak team.

Group L points are the same as those in Group C and Group F although for Group L I agree that England will remain top of the table but 1 thing is for sure the 2 groups below them are likely to still qualify as the next phase for the best 3.

This will add to the excitement of the match because in the last match they will make a greater effort to secure the position.
Ghana has hope after they managed to hold Brazil to a draw but facing Croatia is definitely not an easy task especially since Croatia can always make a difference when they are pushed and let's not forget they are semi-finalists in the 2022 world cup.

[Mayor of ogba]

My prediction for this Scotland vs Brazil match would be GG because both teams are not quite in their best form though Brazil has the upper hand for a win in this game.

Switzerland vs Canada is also a GG or Over 1.5 outcome for me.

With the way Scotland performed against Morocco I don't think they will be able to score a goal against Brazil even though Brazil aren't quite in their best or Brazil aren't playing like the Brazil we used to know, so I think playing the Scotland vs Brazil match BTTS would be a bad option in my opinion. Brazil are better than Scotland and they we win Scotland so as to top group C. Playing Brazil to win Scotland would have been the best option to bet on.

[Majestic-milf]

Ronaldo showed once again why he deserves to be in the same discussion as Messi. While I am a Messi fan over Ronaldo, it's clear that Ronaldo is a great player too.

Some Messi fans act as if he is not even top five, but lets be real, the only reason why we love Messi, is because he had someone to compare him to, in a world where Ronaldo did not existed, Messi's achievements would have been lesser, he wouldn't push himself too much, he would have won so easily and would have been simple. I like Ronaldo, he is great, kudos to him for doing this at age 41.

I'm a neutral person but please enlighten me on how Ronaldo is in the same conversation as Messi? How many take ons did Ronaldo get that led to goals? So because he scored two goals it now makes him in the same line? If he were that great, we should have seen his doings in the DR Congo game. He scores against Uzbekistan who only have two known players, Khusanov and Shomorodov and he's happy to say "he's back?" Like he left or something?
Messi has displayed master class football, kept a cool head even after missing a penalty but should that have been the case of Ronaldo, I bet you, we'd begin seeing classic tantrums only him can give. I'm happy Ronaldo scores yesterday but in the same discussion? Yeah, he should score 3 more goals and equal Messi's 5 goals in two games and then we'd see.

[Agbam]

The group B of the World Cup should have been the group G cos they’re giving us lots of goals and it’s a tough group as well, Look at Bosnia Herzegovina winning and still at third place because Canada won Haiti by a very high margin that’s their Savior tonight.

Bosnia have really tried so I think they still have a chance of qualifying to the next round of the competition. Soon we’ll see the Group C last games. Morroco will have a field day with Haiti but the Brazil and Scotland game will be a bit tough. I’m waiting to see the outcome probably Brazil winning.

[Cryptoprincess101]

I would even love to see that clash of Portugal versus Argentina because it will be a very thrilling match to watch. Talking about the El Clasico experience when Lionel Messi was still in Barcelona and when Cristiano Ronaldo was still in Real Madrid, it makes me to remember the good old days because both players make football exciting to watch so a return of that rivalry in the world cup will make a whole lot of sense. If both countries meet it will be hard to predict which side will win and when a match becomes difficult to predict, it means that both teams has almost equal strength in terms of players capacity.

[AYOBA]

My prediction for this Scotland vs Brazil match would be GG because both teams are not quite in their best form though Brazil has the upper hand for a win in this game.

Switzerland vs Canada is also a GG or Over 1.5 outcome for me.

Are you sure of this your prediction between Scotland vs Brazil. Because Brazil are in a little form which I’m expecting more than 1 goals from them, it will be very difficult to lead Scotland to draw games but let wait and see since the football is unpredictable everything is possible to be happen; we can how their game will goes tonight.

For your second predictions I can see that the match between Switzerland vs Canada ended and from the results given the match end 2-1, which proves that you’re predictions were correct since is two options you use the outcome has been confirmed and the results of your predictions have been verified as a winner.

[mandown]

Switzerland defeated Canada 2–1, bringing their points tally to 7 and finishing at the top of the group.
Bosnia and Herzegovina won 3–1 but finished third in the group.
In the closing moments of the Switzerland–Canada match, Canada applied heavy pressure and sought at least a draw, but Kobel performed exceptionally well.
Qatar finished last in the group. Canada advanced to the next round as the group runner-up. Bosnia and Herzegovina will likely qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
