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

[Nahl]

Tunisia has worst performance in group F that because, they are the only team who failed to earn points even from 3 games Yunisia have lost and conceded 12 goals from those games.Besides that i am amazed to Japan because they have successfully to ended group phase with unbeated record, this result too makes japan can go to 32th stage along with Netherlands.
For Sweden i think they have done well too that in the last game yesterday draw result from Japan makes them can qualified too.

Germany's 2-1 defeat against Ecuador was a real surprise, especially in today's match, where most people had bet on Germany. Ecuador qualified for the round of 32 with a win in today's match and their great performance helped them beat the strong Germany. Germany tried hard to equalize in this match but they could not succeed in their efforts and had to leave the field with a loss. Most gamblers lost bets on this match today, they had bet more on Germany to win but it was a surprise at the last minute. However, Germany did not attack so strongly in this match because they had already qualified, so they did not have much interest in this match.

Those who are smart gamblers did not bet on germany winning this match. There was no doubt that germany was very strong. Even the fact that Germany would lose this match was unthinkable and  unexpected. One of the reasons for avoiding betting on this  match is that this match was not important for Germany. They were  able to qualify for the knockout round long ago by winning the first two matches. It was also certain that Germany would qualify  for the next round  from the top of the table. So it is natural that they will not  give their full effort to win this  less important match. Even then, it is difficult to accept that a giant team like Germany will lose against Ecuador.

Games like these are always tricky because Germany already secured a spot in the knockout stage, and they were not taking any risks with having a rotation policy to keep their players fresh. This did not work for them, and Ecuador took good advantage to give their best for securing their spot in the knockout as well.

German performance was not good against Ivory Coast as well, but still they managed to win, but in this game they were playing not as they did against Ivory Coast, and at the end they pay the price for this as well, but still they are at the top of their group with the most chances they will have an opponent, which could be not challenging for them, and their spot is going to be cemented for the round of 16.

I think the results is a good reminder that no games is easy in the tournament football Germany may have had qualification secure but once the intensity drops any motivated club can punish one , Ecuador wanted it more on the day and it shows the good things for Germany is They still have time to regroup before the next game.
Germany has already got their qualifications move so i still believe that Germany can still come first in their group stage.

Turkey have woken up too late in this World Cup.
They beat the USA 3–2, but it changes nothing: the Americans have already qualified, and the Turks are heading home deeply disappointed.

Today there will be other matches whose outcomes are already a foregone conclusion.
France v Norway will simply decide who finishes first and who finishes second.
But the Senegal v Iraq match will be more interesting. Depending on the result, the winner could progress to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams.

It is a pity that Turkey's last match played well but in the previous two matches they did not move at all and could not even score goals, indeed Turkey's victory will not change anything.

France vs Norway, we definitely choose Mbappe's team to win.
Iraq vs Senegal, these two teams have never won, I see Senegal will win the match and it's not like they will be in the top 3.

[Jossque]

Ecuador managed to defeat Germany. The first half ended 1-1 after both teams scored goals within the first 10 minutes of the match. In the second half, Ecuador defeated Germany with a goal by Gonzalo Plata and finished the group stage in third place with 4 points. This loss doesn’t matter much for Germany because, even with the defeat, they still finished the group stage in first place. Germany didn’t quite live up to expectations in this match, but we can say they are already looking ahead to their next match.

I expected Germany to win against Ecuador because Ecuador managed to earn a point after playing two matches but even as Ecuador won Germany 2-1 I wasn't surprised because Germany has lost dominance in football. Ecuador chances of qualifying for the round of 32 was slim since their last group stage match was against Germany but their hard work and determination helped them beat Germany and get through to the round of 32.

Yup and finally Ecuador managed to do it very well, imagine if Ecuador only draw today then their chances of qualifying are very low and now Ecuador is in 2nd place as Best 3rd Placed Teams, yeah there is a possibility of shifting because 6 more teams are still waiting to play. Previously I also said that Germany would not force itself to win because we know they are safe also avoids the risk of injury. In another match we also saw the same effort from Türkiye and they beat USA unfortunately it can't change anything, yeah Türkiye came out early even though I predicted they could qualify for the next round.

Ecuador's biggest mistake in the World Cup group stage was failing to beat Curacao. That was a team they simply had to take three points from. Had they won that match, they would have qualified for the knockout stage directly. Instead, they now have to hope they finish high enough in the ranking of the third placed teams to advance and then play an additional match for a chance to reach the playoffs.

It was a big victory for Ecuador yesterday after they defeated Germany and had hope to participate in the playoffs. Germany didn't need a win if not, you would have seen the best of them which was the advantage that Ecuador had over them. However, it's a message to Germany that they should sit up because the competition is full of surprises.

Iraq vs Senegal, these two teams have never won, I see Senegal will win the match and it's not like they will be in the top 3.

The win would seem like a lose to them cause it came when they barely needed it to remain in the competition, well it's better than leaving the competition without winning any match, if they had managed a draw im one of their matches it would've helped them cross to the next round.

 France vs Norway would be very entertaining cause it's a battle between two high profile strikers, the best in the world currently but I'll definitely support France, not cause of Mbappé but the love I recently developed for Olise, he's contributed to Mbappé's goals and could still do same in this match.

[bastisisca]

Morocco managed to secure a high-scoring victory over Haiti. Haiti scored the first goal, and the first half was truly exciting. The first half ended 2-2 with both teams scoring. In the second half, Morocco stepped up the pressure and scored two more goals to win the match 4-2. Haiti didn't play poorly; it's just that their squad wasn't strong enough, but I think they put up a good fight against Morocco. While Haiti finished the group stage without any points, Morocco finished in second place thanks to this victory.

One of the teams most closely monitored is Morocco.
In addition to having considerable physical strength, they are starting to have quality game and legs.
This combination makes them a really complicated team to face.

France vs Norway, we definitely choose Mbappe's team to win.

Turkey are late to play well whereas if they can make a difference in the second match then maybe the opportunity is still there but for now even if 3 points can be obtained but it is only able to provide a temporary smile as a tribute to its supporters without being able to do much because they cannot get out of the bottom of the table.

France against Norway will be a very interesting match even though in the current conditions France remains the favorite but it cannot be denied that Norway is not an easy opponent for them to beat especially now that the performance of both teams is in a positive trend in the group phase.
I find it difficult to bet on 1x2 in this match but it would make sense to try to bet on over 2.5 or 3 if you look at how they are performing and the goal productivity they have at the moment. For higher probabilities stay at BTTS yes just that the odds are not too big.

Germany are first in there group though they had same points with ivory coast but they scored more goals than ivory coast, I was expecting Germany to win all matches in the group stage but unfortunately to lost 2-1 to Ecuador yesterday which no body saw this coming because Germany was first to open the net before Ecuador came from behind to win the match 2-1, but the good news here is that qualify despite their defect to Ecuador last night.

Ecuador woke up too late, yes it's possible that this victory only happened because Germany had already secured their place in the knockout stage. On the other hand, beating Germany is never an easy task, regardless of their level of motivation. Germany are obviously a much stronger team than Curacao, and I think Ecuador have only themselves to blame for the situation they're in now.

Today, Norway will face France. I think France are the stronger side overall, but Norway's attack has looked very impressive, that's why I believe both teams have a good chance of scoring in this match.

Well, I did watch the first half of the match and the way I saw Ecuador team playing  I knew it was going  to be a difficult  match for the German team to get a win, I slept  of and didn't get to watch the rest of the match waking up this morning  to see the score line in favor  the Ecuador  didn't surprise  me so much. From the quick reply to the early goal conceded  by lory sane you could tell that the Ecuador  team was ready to take the challenge  and not juct give up easily. Before  the match no body would have though  of the result of the match  being  like this.

German fans must be happy there team has qualified for the next round finally. In world cup 2022 and 2018, the German team was eliminated in first stage. Germany vs Ecuador game was entertaining as both teams scored goals in first 10 minutes and Plata scoring the winning goal for Ecuador in 77th minute. The goal from Plata not only helped his side in wining the game but also helped Ecuador in securing a place in next round.

Though I never expected Germany to lose to Ecuador in this game, but I also knows that Germany as a team wouldn't put too much effort in this game, since they have already qualified.
 It was an interesting game of football that would have gone also in favour of Germany if they were not complacent after the early lead, but what stands out in the game was that the ecuadorian team show more intent and will than the German team by a mile, since they knows that they need nothing less than a victory in this game, in other to qualify to the next round of the competition.

[paco92x]

From their first match, even though they lost, I could see they had a physical advantage. In some moments, they won duels against the opposing players. But in terms of team play, they are still lacking in cohesion. Anyway, they advanced, and that's an achievement in their history. And South Korea, which was thought to have an easy time in the group stage, actually experienced difficulties.

I must say, not just South Africa, but all the African teams have totally surprised me with how physically good they look. We all know that this is not something new, but rather than new, I think it is better or more evolved. They outrun their opponents and clash with them with ease. And when you apply a dose of aggression into a playstyle, it looks absolutely good by my standards.

[wmaurik]

I expected Germany to win against Ecuador because Ecuador managed to earn a point after playing two matches but even as Ecuador won Germany 2-1 I wasn't surprised because Germany has lost dominance in football. Ecuador chances of qualifying for the round of 32 was slim since their last group stage match was against Germany but their hard work and determination helped them beat Germany and get through to the round of 32.

Ecuador is in the next qualifier and must win again if they want to advance to the round of 32, as they are currently third in the group. So, Ecuador still has to fight in their next match because Germany is generally very safe to advance directly to the round of 32. So, Germany's loss to Ecuador doesn't matter much to Germany because Germany is still at the top of the group. And today there's a much more interesting match, Norway versus France, both teams possessing very strong players.

Not just African teams. All non-European underdogs basically.
Oceania, Latin America etc.

Probably could just say Europeans severely underperformed (so far) to be honest.
