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

[Myleschetty]

Egypt has scored their second goal. The goal was score by Mostafa Zaki Abdelraouf, Haissem Hassan did the assist. It is 65 minutes to the end of the match, it is very possible that Argentina has also lost just as Brazil lost. This recent matches are very surprising. Even I was not expecting Portugal to lose yesterday.

I completely didn't anticipate Argentina's spectacular comeback, which took them to score two goals in 4 minutes and completely alter the course of the game since the Egyptians had scored two goals in 67 minutes.
In my belief before, Argentina should pack up and leave the 2026 World Cup after 67 minutes of the match.
Edit
Argentina just scored another goal

It was cosmic justice that USA didn't just lose, they got humiliated and dominated, and it was so fun to watch. Obviously Americans will figure out a way to celebrate this too, no idea how they will do, but I have seen online on twitter already that "we are so good people are happy when we lose" type of defending themselves lol.

No, the real reason is that USA as a nation got spoiled from the start, from causing trouble to teams on TSA checkpoints, to allowing or not allowing teams based on whatever they want, to even recent red card chaos, like Infentino has made it his point to make sure USA and Trump is happy, which of course made us hate USA even more (not like we hated them any less lmao) so of course people are happy when someone who doesn't abide the rules of the game.

I am happy Africa is proving them wrong.

The match is ending like a magic, just like Senegal match. From 79th minute to 90 + 2 minutes, Argentina scored 3 goals. Egypt lost to Argentina. Cristian Romero, Lionel Messi and Enzo Fernández consecutively did the work. So sorry for Egypt.

[skarais]

I can't believe what Egypt showed today. Egypt were very good at defending and preventing Argentina from scoring, even when they were 0-2 up I thought it was all over, but a glimmer of hope began to set in when Cristian Romero opened the first goal for Argentina. I was sure that Argentina could equalize and then Messi answered the despair of the fans with his brilliant goal.

The confidence of the Argentine players began to improve after successfully scoring the first goal. They didn't give up, the second goal opened up more chances, then Enzo's goal was something that would change everything. I think it's an epic comeback for Argentina, of course it's because Egypt really aren't that easy to beat.

[Amphenomenon]

Oh my world! What is going on! The Egyptians are running rampage on Argentina could this be the end of the road for Messi and Argentina.

Three legends retire from international duty on the same World Cup round. What an incredible performance by the Egyptians. This saddens me as I’m an Argentinian and Messi fan right now but pharoahs have shocked us.
So now Messi have to say his goodbye to the World Cup too….. he’s done it all, let the young lads take over.

You are indeed a fan without sentiment. I wonder why many Africans are supporting Argentina over Egypt. A win for an African side brings more respect and prestige to the continent. Many sports commentators and analysts criticised FIFA for increasing the number of African slots. I am happy Africa is proving them wrong.

I hope this will not be a repeat of the game between Senegal and Belgium, since Argentina have made it 2-2. Thanks to Lionel Messi.  

Egypt did disappointingly just like Senegal today, letting a two goal lead slide is annoying. The run still continue for Argentina, at the final minutes African teams have not been doing well. So Morocco is still like the best team in Africa.

Their AFCON behavior will be a stain on them. Africa teams needs to do better, I doubt Nigeria could have fumbled a two goal lead. Let Africa prepare better for the next world cup and hopefully Nigeria will qualify.

I think this match will be very intense, just like the Mexico vs. England game, which was equally intense. But I think there won’t be many goals scored. The score will probably be just 1-0 or 2-1 at most. Both teams will likely play more cautiously, and their style of play usually isn’t very aggressive. But I hope I’m wrong, because I’m hoping for an aggressive match that creates plenty of exciting scoring opportunities.

Mexico tried their best but they didn't manage to get what they wanted they lost 2-3 from England in the RO16. Jude Bellingham scored brace in the 36th and 38th minute. Mexico conceded zero goals in the entire tournament but it only takes 2 minutes to score brace for Bellingham. Julian Quinones scored the goal for Mexico in the 42nd minute and bought the scoresheet to 2-1. In the second half England won a penalty in the 60th minute and he scored. In the 69th minute Mexico won the penalty and Jimenez scored that. The match ended 2-3 . Mexico dominated with 67% possession ,1.88xG , 2 big chances created and 20 shots. England will now face Norway in the Quarters final.

This is unbelievable, I can't even believe it even when it's happening right in front of my screen. How do you allow this kind of come back in a FIFA World Cup round of 16 game. Egypt played more than they've ever played since the start of the tournament, they should've held firmly but somehow, they allow Argentina come back and win the game.

Argentina came back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2.  Egypt which had initially taken the lead, will likely be deeply disappointed because they ultimately lost despite holding a two-goal advantage. but still, this proves that Argentina seems capable of going even further, just like in the previous World Cup. But I’m confident that in the Switzerland vs. Colombia match, Colombia will emerge victorious. and that means Argentina will face Colombia. I think the match against Colombia will be much tougher than the one against Egypt, so a tougher test awaits the Argentine team.

Someone say Remontada!!. This is the best come back. Much better than the Senegal game if you ask me. You can't come from missing a penalty to scoring the leveler if you're not Messi. Shit, this is football and I must say that this is the second time Argentina are coming from behind to win a crucial game and while Cape Verde were careful but unlucky, Egypt were just too confident and careless and now they are paying for it with a ticket back home.

I think the Norway Viking row celebration is somehow becoming some sort of a lucky ritual for the Norway national football team. Ever since Norway started their first Norway Viking row celebration over a win against Senegal as they progressed to the round of 32, they had managed to beat both Ivory Coast and Brazil and the Norway Viking row celebration continues. I truly wonder if we will see a fourth Norway Viking row celebration once Norway completes their match against England in the round of 8.

Watching the match, I still can't pinpoint where it went wrong for Egypt, honestly I thought the highest that could happen was Argentina getting a goal but dumping 3 goals in space of 12 minutes is no joke.

After playing through the match insignificantly and even missing a penalty, Messi really turned up at the dying moments of the game, it felt like all the energy he was conserving was unleashed.

Instead on of the greatest comebacks you will ever see.

[BIT-BENDER]

What a game, and again Argentina gave another team reason to feel proud of themselves. This was a very electrifying match and I am very impressed with both teams, Egypt played different from how they played against Australia, I believe if they played like this against Australia they should have actually won that match without needing extra time and penalty.

Again Messi scores in conservative world cup match, but to be honest I think Argentina fans shouldn't not get their hopes up too much and just enjoy the ride.

[EarnOnVictor]

That is what you get if you couldn't defend what you've got. What a shame on Egypt team! I watched that match with annoyance, and I knew that Argentina would win even without scoring a goal yet. It's all psychological issue among those Egyptian players players; nothing less. That's why they lost their guard so much, and in just a few minutes to the end, Argentina scored a whole 3 goals. Massive!

The second goal was 4 minutes apart, while the last one was 7 minutes apart. I knew this would happen since the tactics and dominance have changed. Instead for Egypt to measure up, they became still. So annoying!

Another African team showing weak mentality. This just reminds me of the game between Senegal and Belgium,  how would you be 2 goal up for that long and still lose the game. I was thinking that the game is over after Egypt scored the second goal, but I guess I was wrong. Argentina came back and scored 2 quick goals and they scored the final goal to win the match. I was really disappointed at how Egypt allow this to slip their hands, but I will also give kudos to the Argentine team for now giving up and coming from behind to win the game. Congratulations to them anyways.

[dezoel]

Oh man, USA game was late in the night here, so I didn't get to watch the whole game, it would have been so fun to see the whole thing, shame that I couldn't watch the whole thing.

However, I was quite happy to see what they had in the end, we should be considering how this was a bad situation to be in and I think it's quite clear that USA was a disgrace to world of football along with FIFA, finally seeing them lose is a great feeling, I am glad that they got destroyed by Belgium.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This is something that made me feel like crying, imagine the pressure especially when all hope is lost, there comes Messi w d his warriors fighting to stay alive in this FWC... Can't say much, I think this should put the debate to bed.
Egypt is the version 2 of Senegal, leading and losing the game. Can't say more on this guys (Egyptians) because they are the cause of their own eviction.

America was terrible against Belgium they were practically invisible on the field, that's how bad they were. The USA at least scored a goal, they responded quickly, and their energy was good, but the difference in level of football was obvious. The USA is a promising team, but this was the best they could do in this tournament for now. They gained a lot of experience from this tournament, and I'm sure they will prepare well for the next cups.

I couldn't believe Argentina staged such an incredible comeback, In just over 10 minutes, they scored three goals, putting them through to the final, where they now have to wait for Colombia or Switzerland.

Argentina's final counterattack goal was a mistake by Mohamed Salah, who didn't control the ball well, Egypt ultimately conceded a goal, Argentina, however, deserved to be considered champions.

Some people might think this is insignificant but facts, mutual celebration like the Viking Row helps connect players and fans, it also promotes a sense of purpose and the history the Norwegian team is fighting for.

But still we need to study the mentality of the players and how they blaze through challenges like they did in the England match. Since the beginning I've always sounded this Norway team and once again i have the conviction that they would trash England

[GbitG]

Here we go guys...
Argentina made a history...
Never forget Messi is Messi....

Ahhh that's absolutely insane guys.... I am literally super emotions like am super shocked. To be honest I never expected this kind of challenging battle. However match was super competitive like initially Argentina was bit sloppy and due to this they conceded two goal and even Messi penalty make more stressful moment but that's God at King Lionel Messi made beautiful assist as well as spotted a bangers goal in dying minutes.....

However congratulations to Argentina to moving into advance stage of the world cup. Now they will face Colombia which I think little bit difficult challeng but let's see what happens next.
