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

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

Ghana was able to achieve a goalless draw against England because they played defensive football from the beginning of the match to the end, which makes it so difficult for England to find Ghana's net, but if Ghana had played attacking football as England played, England would have won Ghana with at least 3-0. But as for the Croatia vs Ghana match, both teams will play attacking football and since both teams are aiming to win the match, the match will never end in a goalless draw. The match will likely end 2-1 or 3-1 but I don't know the team that will be victorious in the match.

I was looking up to the Brazil Vs Scotland match. I was waiting to see the official line up. Now I have seen the official lineup and discovered that Neymar is on the bench, I am very happy. Atleast, he will have a playing time today. I have really missed the star boy and his flare in football.

Brazil needs a win in this match and they'll have to get it. I am surprised to see that Raphinha is injured already, that's not a good one for the Brazilian side. And they have benched Igor Thiago and prefered Cunha over him. Cunha is used to play the top 9, who knows if he has found his new role in this world cup and will Michael Carrick consider to use him same way?

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.

To be honest the 3 teams that qualify from this group won't make it past Round 32.  I am 100% sure they will all be eliminated at the Round of 32 because the way they play each other is quite boring. The teams in that group looks very average, even Switzerland that I expected them to perform well are finding it hard to win in that group. I just want to Congratulate Canada for qualifying to the next round, I I was even thinking that Bosnia and Herzegovina will be the one to occupy the second position but they proved me wrong. Since it is only eight best 3rd place team that will qualify and sure that the 4 points Bosnia accumulated will be enough for them to make it to the round of 32.

We had a big clash in group B today. The two strongest teams faced each other and Switzerland managed to secure a 2-1 win over Canada, which means they won the group with 7 points.
In another game, Croatia got a modest 1-0 win against Panama. They've earned a much-needed 3 points, but the style of their play does not spark much optimism about their ability to advance very far in the tournament.

The remaining two games of today are to kick off shortly, these are, together with odds by Winna.com:

Scotland x9.60 Vs Brazil x1.31; Draw x5.80
Morocco x1.22 Vs Haiti x14.00; Draw x6.60

Scotland is a massive underdog, to the point that I'm considering betting on them, simply because of the value of the bet. Brazil is not a powerhouse it used to be. Then again, Scotland is also far from their prime.

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.

Yes he is indeed a great player that we all know, but basically he is Messi's true rival he is a great player even though both are old but deserve to be compared, I am also a Ronaldo fan but I also recognize Messi as a very great player both now and in the past.

But yes most people expect too much, even though both of them are very old sometimes scoring goals sometimes not at all, it has become a common spectacle for me, so let them play without giving a negative view by comparing them. I think the debate will never be finished because some of them are a tool to attract attention.

Brazil squad is very good without Neymar and  Raphinha, there is no need to play Neymar he has injury and risky him to play is not advicable, he has won the world cup together Brazil he needs nothing to prove again. He was called up because of the fans and their yet to watch him play. If he's lucky the coach might just give him a chance in the die minutes to play.

As for Cunha he works so hard for this opportunity, the move to Manchester United was a blessing and he's enjoying it today, all kudos to Michael Carrick the Manchester United coach that brought the best out of Cunha, Cunha is now a hit man in the Brazil squad. They will win tonight against Scotland, and top the league.

Brazil will surely win this game and probably top the group depending on how many goals that they score. Scotland is a good team but coming up against a team like Brazil I don't see them surving in ninety minutes on the field of play. Brazil has to win this game if not it will not send the right message when it comes to their world cup hopes.


It's been awhile since Brazil won the world cup. So it time for a footballing county like Brazil winning the world cup. Brazil first game was not that great against Morocco, even in the second game I didn't see any much improvement against Haiti which I expected a much bigger scoreline but, Brazil could only end up scoring three goals so going into this game, I expect a much better improvement from this Brazilian team.

[Mayor of ogba]

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.

After Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, we got lucky to watch Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi play against each other during the 2020/2021 Champions League and after then we haven't seen both players face each other again, so it will be a privilege to see both players face each other for the last time before they end their professional football careers. I don't think that we will be privilege enough to see that happen in this World cup, because Portugal will win Colombia and ruin the possibility of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi playing against each other.

I hope this is not the major concern of Cristiano Ronaldo, he has been among the highest goal scorers in some of the world cup tournaments but now what matters is Portugal to continue winning and the number of goals doesn't really matter here rather they keep winning.

The competition is just starting scoring so many goals doesn't necessarily make you the winners, Ronaldo has experienced that, let his team just keep winning that's what matters.

To him , it probably matters. This world cup is the last world cup for him , he needs the trophy for sure but at the same time,   he needs the goalsto compete with his biggest rival according to the public opinions and SM trolls which is also getting sticked to his skulls lol . 

He has two goals already  which is actually a fine start for him . I haven't check the upcoming games but i doubt there're more fixture as easy as Uzbekistan

Brazil is a strong team it's true but how can you guarantee Brazil will win ? Scotland is not a bad team at all so it will not be an easy match for Brazil. Brazil used to play very well and they also have the record of winning the most World Cups but Brazil has not been able to do well for many years. They drew 1-1 with Morocco in the first match. Morocco has been playing very well since last year but Morocco is not a good team compared to Brazil's previous history. So I can't think about winning Brazil yet. But this match is very important for Brazil. It will depend on this match whether they can go to the next stage or not.

Uzbekistan was very unfortunate in its second match in this World Cup, having to lose to Portugal with a score of 5-0. In its first match, it lost to Colombia. Now Uzbekistan still hasn't earned a single point. Yes, what can be done because now everything has happened, and now Uzbekistan certainly must win against Congo if they want to get 3 points. In last night's match, the Portuguese players worked well together and created many opportunities. If all the opportunities could have been utilized well by the Portuguese players, I think Portugal could have scored more than 5 goals.

Ronaldo performed very well in that match because he scored 2 goals. Unfortunately, he also couldn't capitalize on all the opportunities that existed. If he could have utilized all the opportunities that existed, I think he could have scored more than 2 goals. But I'm happy in this match to see Portugal win because I favored Portugal to win when betting, so in the end I got a profit. Did you also win when betting on this match? but I am also happy in this match to see Joao Felix played by Inigo Martinez because in the previous match Joao Felix was not played now Portugal is in 1st place and what is certain is that now I am curious about Portugal in the next match against Colombia, who do you think will win in that match?

41 years old, first guy ever to score at six different world cups. When you really think about it that is crazy. Six tournaments, twenty years.. But also, it was Uzbekistan. Yes the record is true, yes it is saying something. But some are acting like he is back to 2018 form... Nah. Let us see him do that against Colombia first.

Because Colombia are completely different. Díaz at the left hand will be a huge challenge for Cancelo or Semedo. And Nuno Mendes (who was stellar yesterday) pushed himself so far up the field all game that there was... Space behind him. Colombia will find that space. They are not Uzbekistan sitting back and just hoping. When Ronaldo is under pressure, in a tight game, he gets quiet. We saw it in the draw with Congo, literally! In that game, he hardly even played. And that was not because of bad luck.

By the way, Martinez is going down the road after this World Cup. So he is got nothing to lose tactically which is kind of exciting? He might just go for it completely.

I do not have an idea of who is going to win the Colombia game. Which honestly feels right. Going with that uncertainty, that is the way a good match should be.

[Adbitco]

Switzerland 2 Vs Canada 1 FT
Canada will go to the next stage just to fill up the numbers, these guys scored 6 goals in their second match to top the group, I thought maybe they would be able to maintain that momentum. They just showed that if not for Qatar they wouldn't have qualified. They are so far the weakest among the 3 host nations. Mexico and USA is stronger than them judging from the number of games they have played. I wonder Which country will be paired with Canada for the R32, well I just have to wait till after the other teams plays because I'm feeling lazy in checking the Round 32 draw to see who will face who between the teams that came first and second.

[topbitcoin]

Group B has completed its group stage and Switzerland is assured of topping the table followed by Canada.
I quite liked the performance of both teams at the end of the match although I didn't like the final result because my bet was ruined for this match.

With this result Switzerland and Canada are now sure to follow Mexico, USA, Germany and Argentina to qualify for the knock out phase.
There are still a few matches to be played today and there could be some unexpected clubs even in decent pots later on.
The decider for group C begins and I still expect Brazil to be the group winners in this group stage.

[Decimetre]

The heat is on, I like the view as seen on the TV. Miami owns one of the most beautiful but simple stadium, what a view. Brazil will have to win the game to remain at the first position and Scotland also has to win to be able to qualify. Only Haiti has no option in the group. Scotland will do everything possible to win this game but it is not easy. Vini Jr has scored already, his third game he scored in all. Brazil leads by one goal.

The match has started, let watch. I'm confident Brazil will win this match because I think they are Stronger, and in terms of the quality of their players, They can lead Brazil to victory.

The front line is made up of Vini, Cunha, and Rayan. I think this is a good choice by ancelotti for this match, as cunha performed well in the previous match, and I hope he can Score again in this match.

As for Scotland, They will be trying to get point in this match. They must be ready to block every attack from brazil and capitalize on every breakthrough to score, as brazil defense is very solid.

I thought that Catlo Ancelotti warned Neymar not to manage his injury if he is not yet fit, how come he is among the substitutes. Anyways, watching Neymar doesn't bring any vibes anymore and that's if Ancelotti will play him because his consisten injury crisis has made his appearance in the world cup seem like a joke.
    The match has kicked off and Brazil is winning under 10 minutes of play, looks like we will see a lot of goals in this match. Raphinha's injury is a big blow to the team but I guess they can manage with the available players and make their way to the next stages. For the fact that Cunha is playing in a different position doesn't mean that Michael Carrick will use him in same position when the season games start.

[Adiljutt156]

Colombia managed to defeat the Democratic Republic of the Congo and secured its second win in the group. It’s safe to say they have guaranteed their advancement from the group. Although Colombia dominated the match against its opponent, it struggled a bit to find the back of the net. They scored the goal just as the final 15 minutes began. With the goal scored by Daniel Munoz, Colombia won the match and will now wait to face Portugal in their final game. I don’t think they’ll be able to beat Portugal.

The shots of Colombia national football team were 20 in this match and 9 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 66 percent in this match. DR Congo national football team is very strong team but they could not do any goal till end which gave us idea of Colombia football team success in this match. Muñoz was the only person who took responsibility of the match and he did goal at 76 minutes when it was need of the team and DR Congo football team should try to learn from their mistakes if they want to get upper position on the table and for that they have to perform well in this tournament. The shots of any team matters a lot in the match and possession percentage of any team matters a lot and both of DR Congo football team were less in this match.

Scotland's main goal is to avoid conceding too many goals. they have three points which give them a good chance of advancing from the group from third place. going into the match against Brazil, Scotland have a 1-1 goal difference as they won the first match against Haiti 1-0 and lost the second match to Morocco by the same score. a lot depends on Brazil and their mood. they could score one or two goals and calm down or they could find their stride and score four or five goals.

[snipie]

Brazil will have to win the game to remain at the first position and Scotland also has to win to be able to qualify.

Brazil should have no problem to win Scotland and remain in the first spot. They are leading indeed with a goal for now but they have to add more to avoid a late surprise.
Scotland is not weak and staying in the third position will make their mission hard if they passed this group stage.

Only Haiti has no option in the group.

Morocco 0 - 1 Haiti. Seriously Morocco, you did good vs the best teams in this group then you fail against the only one to return home after this final group stage match..

Scotland is no match for Brazil, although I understand that Scotland have been showing some strength before now, the Brazilian team has a better tactical prowess more than them, the game has just started and Brazil has scored. As for Neymar Jr, he shouldn't have been brought to the World Cup, this is not the avenue for him to heal from his injury, this competition is meant for people that are fit and ready to go, Neymar's space would have been used to carry a younger player that is hungry, because trust me, he is going to be used probably to the end of the games, and he might fully start a game from beginning to end.
