CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (South America)

[mammusu]

Brazil are still finding their feet, but I really believe they will beat Paraguay today, given Brazil's history of beating them and the current form of the Brazilian team. I hope Vini Jr wants to play today and that our midfield is more resilient than in last week's match.

Everyone thought that Brazil would win this match, most people bet on Brazil. I also had a belief that Brazil would win this match against Paraguay, but it was completely the opposite. Vinícius Júnior played, but still failed to score a goal for the team. It is a pity for Brazil that they lost the match against a team like Paraguay. After conceding a goal in the 20th minute, the Brazilian team could not come back, due to which Brazil left the match with a result of 1-0, however, it is fortunate for them that they qualified for the next round.

Brazil has a long history of glory in football and it could even be said that the era of modern football actually started with Brazilian football, but we can see how their performance in recent years has experienced a significant decline in performance and even some of their legends such as Ronaldinho actually doubt their abilities from Brazil young squad currently has, I think Brazil's performance and failures in the previous Copa America are proof that Brazil is no longer as great as it used to be so we can't expect much from them anymore.

A few days ago I read in several media that the Brazil (Dorival Junior) coach was quite confident that they would be able to reach the 2026 World Cup final, but in fact today we can see how Brazil lost to Paraguay with a score of 1-0, which made them have to Satisfied with being in 5th place at the moment and which is still not safe for them to get at the end of the South American Zone qualifiers.

I personally don't expect much from the Brazil team right now. Because the performance of this team is very weak for the last few days. Especially I am not happy with Brazil's match strategy and team selection.

I don't know why Brazil coach Dorival put an inexperienced player like Endrick in the most important position in his squad. Endrick is talented no doubt. But he is not yet experienced enough to be in the starting XI of a big team like Brazil. Dorival could have used Endrick as a second-half substitute. If Antony or Raphinha were kept in the squad these two players would definitely perform better than Endrick. Brazil should change their coach if they want to improve their team.

I don't think he can go very far with Dolivar Junior in Brazil.
The Brazilian squad is quality but not productive at all.
 They lost 1-0 to Paraguay and they had only one clear position in the match and they could not capitalize on it. With 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in the qualifying group
They are in fifth place. There is a risk of not being able to participate in the 2026 World Cup. If they lose points in 1-2 more matches, it will be even worse. I don't know if Brazil has ever participated in the World Cup in its history.
There would be no world cup without Brazil.

The game against Paraguay was yet another embarrassment that Brazil has been collecting in recent years. It is incredible that Paraguay's starting striker is the same striker as Cuiabá (a small team in Brazil) and Paraguay's goalkeeper is Botafogo's reserve goalkeeper (a Brazilian team). In other words, the Paraguayan team is much inferior to the Brazilian team (in theory)... Dorival Junior will not be able to stay in the position for long, the team is very poorly trained. The probability of being left out of the World Cup is real.

When the players are compared one by one, Brazil is very dominant, but there is no motivation in the Brazilian team.
This is not just a situation specific to this match. He has been playing bad football in the previous matches as well. After the failure in the South American Cup, I think Dorival Junior should have been sacked, but it wasn't. I think he has two more matches at most. If he loses points in two more matches and he does not resign, the Brazilian Football Federation will dismiss him. Let's wait and see...

Argentina team is currently the strongest and their place at the top position of the points table. But we saw that Argentina could not win the match against Colombia, they lost. We know that currently everyone's favorite teams play their games following their performance which is really interesting. However, the match they lost against Colombia was not that important for them as the Argentina team topped the points table and qualified. Moreover, in this match, although Argentina tried hard to win the match, Colombia played well and did not let them press the ball. Colombia battled Argentina to victory, and qualified, with Colombia and Argentina currently occupying the top two positions in the points table.

[rdluffy]

I'm completely disappointed with the Brazil team

I had the displeasure of watching yesterday's game and it was an example of how not to play soccer
With the Real Madrid trio on the field, Endrick, Vini JR and Rodrygo, they couldn't even score 1 goal, there was no creation, there was no quality soccer
Seriously, I don't know what to say right now because I was so displeased with yesterday's game 

I don't blame the coach alone, the 11 players (plus those who took the field after) are all to blame for the defeat, after all they didn't show anything good yesterday, maybe now it's time to change hald of the team and get new players with more desire to play

That's weird to see how Brazil being so clueless in the game against Paraguay. And i'm wondering what's their issue? they seem to have a good selection of players who some were superstar. They have good players on their defence (Allison and Gabriel). They also have good attackers who started for RM (Vini Jr and Rodrygo).

Also, don't forget Brazil has some Premier League players, like Paqueta and Guimaraes. That's weird to see they played so pathetic, they have no gameplan, and they performed so poorly.

I can only guess that the main problem was with their coach. A club like Brazil should have hired a professional coach instead of keeping Dorival.

The way he is managing the club is so bad.

If there was any magic in football, it was under the control of one of Brazil's players. Especially in 2002, when they were last world champions, there were quite a few surprises among the players. The way Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo have delighted the world's audience is no longer seen in today's football. Brazil's performance in recent times has been so bad that even playing against a lesser team, they lose. And one big reason behind this is that the players of the team do not care much about the game of their own country. They are more focused on club football. It will be difficult for a new player to do much good for the country if he hears the sound of big money offer right after starting the game. Most of the young players are focused on league games. Brazil's recent performance has been very poor. How can anything good be expected from a team that loses to a team like Paraguay.

[Slow death]

Honestly, I don't see the squad being very strong. It's true that they have some players who are very popular with the big teams in Europe, such as Vinicius Júnior (who hasn't scored many goals for the Brazilian national team), Rodrygo and Alisson Becker. But the rest of the players who started Brazil's last game are not very popular with the big clubs. Honestly, I don't see the squad being very strong.

But the rest of the players who started Brazil's last game are not very popular with the big clubs.

I partially agree with you. Brazil squad has a lot of talented players. Vinicius Jr is the leading ballon d'Or winner this season. But this talented player is not able to perform well in the national team jersey. A talented player like Raphinha is not being kept in the squad. Also every player in the Brazil squad is performing well in club football. But these players are not performing well in the national team jersey. This is definitely due to the weakness of the coach.

As I said in my last post, the Brazilian national team doesn't have many popular players playing in the big teams. Let's look for example at the squad that played yesterday:



and we ask 50 people from Europe:

- how many players in this photo do they know?

People will say that they only know Alisson Becker because he plays for Liverpool, and he is very popular there. They will say that they know Rodrygo Silva de Goes, Endrick and Vinicius Júnior. But in the past, 15 years ago, the Brazilian national team was made up of more than 11 players who were popular in Europe. It was a squad in which the coach didn't need to teach them anything because they were already good at what they did. But now things are different, they no longer have a squad of more than 11 famous players in Europe. So they need a good foreign coach who has won big titles.

In yesterday's game, for example, they had 71% possession, had 3 shots on target, but they failed to score at least 1 goal and lost because they conceded 1 goal. In the last 4 games, the Brazilian national team has failed to score more than 1 goal in any of the 4 games. This means that they have problems in attack. But it's funny that the Brazilian coach keeps putting the same attackers even though he sees that they are not performing well.

Brazilians have become accustomed to winning
If you go further, the periods from 1994 to 2002 were the best years for the national team in the more recent era post-Pelé
In 1994, even with difficulties in qualifying, they won the World Cup, in 1998 they came second only to Zidane's France, and in 2002 they won the World Cup again with all the merits and without question.
Times of Ronaldo, Romário, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Taffarel, Dunga and others who commanded great respect against any opponent.

But unfortunately it's over, the level has dropped and the other teams have improved a lot

It seems that Brazil's glory is just history. Currently, Brazil is very bad at playing and also without direction, Brazil does not play with a team but plays individually not for the team. If we compare Brazil today with Brazil in the past, it is very different, even now other teams are no longer afraid to face Brazil.

If they play for the team seriously, they can score many goals. The only Brazilian player who really plays well is goalkeeper Allison, the rest, nothing. What Ronaldinho said is true, Brazil has great players but they have the worst squad and individual egos are too high. In addition, what made them fail to win may be because the Brazilian players think that they feel that there are many star players so they like to underestimate their opponents.

In addition, Brazil's current midfield can be said to be the worst midfield of all time, only relying on Lucas Paqueta who was dumped in Milan. So it's no wonder they failed to win against Paraguay, if Brazil used to have a good midfield.

If there is no improvement, there is a possibility that Brazil will not qualify for the 2026 World Cup, perhaps if that happens then it can be said that the next World Cup will be the first without Brazil.

Yesterday's match was really an unexpected match, I never thought that Argentina would lose the match. I agree Colombia is a good strong team, but Argentina is the best world cup winning team in the world, but everyone is very disappointed to lose this match, but just because Argentina won the world cup it doesn't mean they won't lose any match, this match Colombia showed really great performance , also Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni is commenting that the Colombians have won by playing well. Anyway, Argentina is still at the top of the points table, after that on October 11, that is after about 1 month, Argentina vs Venezuela will face.

A very bad result from Argentina. I know qualifiers don't mean much. But this proves that if the current lineup (without Messi and Di Maria) can't do much against a strong team.

Scaloni needs to rethink using this lineup as his call-ups in the upcoming games. The youngsters need to be used more, and some of the old players need to be gotten rid of from the club.

I'm also very disappointed. They played without Messi and Di Maria. Still, Scaloni refuses to play Dybala.

Although Argentina are number one in the points table, it is unfortunate for them that they lost to Colombia because they have shown themselves differently in the football world for the past few years. I would consider Nicolas Otamendi's foul in the D box to be one of the reasons for Argentina's loss against Colombia. The foul earned Colombia a penalty and James Rodriguez scored from the penalty to give their team the lead after 60 minutes. Basically, that goal was the reason for Argentina's defeat. Otamendi is currently the oldest player of the Argentina team, moreover, he is the captain of the Argentina team. He was as getting hot at the last minute which resulted in a foul and maybe as a captain he should play with a cool head. We've seen fouls from him many times in the past that were enough to defeat Argentina.

Argentina's loss against Colombia is unfortunate. Because last few years we have seen great performances from Argentina players. So everyone expected Argentina to be able to maintain their winning streak. But unfortunately Argentina lost the match 2-1.

Several wrong decisions by the referee were responsible for Argentina's loss of the match. This is my personal opinion. Every referee's decision went against Argentina in this match. It can also be called Argentina's misfortune. However, I would say that luck was not on Argentina's side so Argentina lost. But I would have been happy if the result of the match was a draw. But we don't see good performances from Martinez in the past matches. Martinez's own performance needs to improve.

This Colombian team is one of the best in South America, if I'm not mistaken they managed to go 2 years without losing a single match, that's something very rare to achieve today... So defeating Argentina is something totally achievable, I don't see anything surprising in that.

This Colombian team is very skilled and very talented with a huge hunger for performances with their national team and this makes very dangerous for any opponent they face. I also think Columbia has real chances to actually catch quarter-finals in 2026 as long as this team will still be capable of playing modern offensive football.

On the other side , we have probably the worst team of Brazil in the last 2 decades and if nothing chances within the squad , then I'm afraid Brazil will struggle to actually catch 2026 WC groups. This national team need to regroup , reinvent and start playing their signature football.

Argentina vs Chile

Argentina vs Chile this match will take place and here we know that Argentina is currently the strongest team. The Argentina team is at the top of the points table, and they lead Argentina with the most points in this World Cup Qualifier CONMEBOL 7. Moreover, Argentina is leading with the maximum points and has qualified for the 2026 World Cup, they will not have to play with so much pressure in the next matches. And since Argentina is facing against Chile, in this case we will definitely see an interesting match here and Argentina are favorites here.

Chile national football team could not perform well against Argentina national football team and Argentina   team did well in this match .  Mac Allister did first goal in this match and he was good performer in this match because he  was in full confidence and after that team got rhythm and team did back to back goals and Alvarez did second goal in this match and after that goal ,Argentina  team was very close to win .  Argentina Football team is at top and it has good points on points table and also they have positive GD and they will be more strong in next matches . I am huge fan of that team due to that kind of performance because all players are hard working and they did not lose heart in any case.

I would have been happy if Argentina could have drawn this match. Because in this match, Colombia has a lot of advantages. And this Colombia squad was also very strong. Colombia's players were also confident in the home match.

Although Colombia won the match, it cannot be said that the performance of Argentina's players was poor. Argentina's players tried hard to score. But in the end they failed. However, Argentina was defeated not long after. However, Argentina will not suffer any loss as a result of this defeat. Argentina are still at the top of the FIFA World Cup 2026 CONMEBOL qualifiers points table. Argentina team has won 6 matches out of 8 matches and has occupied the top position of the table. On the other hand, the Brazilian team has managed to win only 3 matches out of 8 matches. Brazil's position is fifth in the table.
