⚽ International Football Prediction and Discussion Thread ⚽

We can see that Morocco, one of the best teams in the last World Cup, is under a lot of nervous pressure today against Canada in the Round of Sixteen match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It seems that the Canadian team's defense is very well-trained in today's knockout round match because the Morocco team is not able to counterattack properly in this game but right now we can see that the Moroccan team has taken the lead by scoring a goal in the 50th minute. Therefore it's clear that if Morocco plays more carefully now against Canada, they might be able to win this match and advance to the next round.

Morocco national football team played very well against Canada men's national soccer team because they did more goals in this match And opponent team was light team in this match because their hard work was nothing in this match and they should try to give their best to win this match but they gave nothing in this match and result was in front of us and Ounahi was a top performer of this match because he did 2 goals in this match and he did first goal at 50 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and after that goal one more player did goal in this match who did goal at 98 minutes when match was close to end. Ounahi did his second goal at 82 minutes and his role was crutial in this match.

Canada gave their all to win this match because you can see from the fact that Morocco failed to score a goal before halftime in that Round of Sixteen match. After halftime we noticed that Morocco became much more aggressive and how much they counterattacked against Canada, so they get the results of their hard work in this match of the World Cup knockout stage and qualified for the next round by defeating Canada by a huge margin of 3-0 in that game. However one thing we noticed is that this team's opponent in the quarter-final round is last year's runner-up team, France, so Morocco will have to play with a lot more determination in the final match against this team.

I see Argentina, France, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, England, and Norway as favorites to win the World Cup. One of these teams will be champion. At the moment I'm writing this, France is playing against Paraguay; if they win, they will play against Morocco. Meanwhile, tomorrow Brazil will play against Norway, and Portugal will play against Spain on the 6th of this month.

What a bold prediction! I thought Egypt, the USA, Belgium or Colombia would win the World Cup 
In reality, among the remaining matchups, there is a significant imbalance in only one (Argentina vs. Egypt - I certainly don't consider the France vs. Morocco match an easy one), while it seems like any team could beat any other, the fact remains that one of the favorites will ultimately take the gold.
By the way, the most interesting match today is Mexico vs. England, it will be interesting to see if the high altitude affects the teams' play and whether England survives.

This match between Argentina and Egypt is going to be like two giant fighting in a farm land. Egypt ha good records as they have won the African cup of nations about seven times. This shows how equipped this country is, but game can change, I am sure Argentina would not want to let go any chance Egypt to out shine them in this upcoming match on the 17th July. I don't have anything to predict about it, let's just say Argentina 2-1 against Egypt or the both draws.

I am not worrying about Argentina winning this match against Egypt unless they perform the way they did against Cape Verde.
Egypt is weaker than Argentina and I doubt they could stand in front of Argentina more than 75 minutes. I hope they could go through penalties because it is their only way to win against Argentina.

The matches tonight look really nice!



I think both of these matches will be so competitive. I don't see any clear favourite in both matches truthfully. One shouldn't get carried away with the names of the teams here.

Neither Brazil nor England look great on the recent days.    This gives their competitors a good chance. Norway just need to defend well. Especially against Vinicius Jr!

Sometimes it could be very difficult for the better side to perform very well in the first half but things usually change in the second half, I have seen that trend a lot in this World Cup in several matches, and this could be as a result of the pressure or intensity of the game especially when you have a team with a very good defensive record like the DR Congo or Cape Verde, these teams with very good defense but some how along the line things may turn due to intense pressure hence that was what helped the Morrocans crack up the Canadians in the second half.

I don't know what actually went wrong in that Argentina vs cape Verde game, maybe they probably underestimated Cape Verde and they were surprised by the performance that the team put on or maybe they haven't really actually played a good team in this tournament because from what I have seen from all the teams they have played in this tournament I believe Cape Verde have been the toughest and if Egypt is able to maintain their cool then they might probably shoke this Argentine team too so nothing is impossible to happen.

I don't analyze any games only on their last performance because team might look good at the very beginning of the tournament and end badly on or before end of the tournament, so let us remove our minds from the team that looks so weaker, any thing can happen as far as football is concerned and some teams keeps proofing as they succeed to any stages of tournament, Egypt can decide to more effort to surprise the world that day and why Argentina will thinking paying with Egypt that it is a workover match to them, let us just wait till that deal day when the 90+ extra minutes with determine the faith of both teams.

To be honest, the five-time World Cup winner Brazil is facing many obstacles today against Norway in a crucial match of the Round of Sixteen of the FIFA World Cup. Brazil had a chance to go ahead but i noticed that they missed a penalty and as a result have not yet scored.Watching the Norwegian team play today, it seems to me that they are very strong defensively. It also seems to us that one of the most dangerous strikers in the world, Erling Haaland, is in the Norway team, this player can turn the tide of a match at any time because he is used to doing this at PL clubs as well. Both teams are equally dangerous in attack in this Round of Sixteen match, therefore it seems like Brazil and Norway will have to counterattack a lot to win this match.

Norway is already eliminated Brazil from WC. It's good to see Guimaraes missed his penalty, while Neymar successfully executed his own pen. However, Norway is still stronger than them because Norway doesn't even let Brazil to score from the openplay.

Meanwhile, England vs Mexico is still ongoing, but seeing the way they play, i'd rather have Mexico to win instead of England. The pressure given by Mexico is far intense compared to the England.
Even Mexico almost scored their first goal, but very sad pickford still able to blocked the first goal attempt by Mexico.

I think Mexico will be the team to score first.

Hehe, I bet on England to qualify at odds of 1.81, and to be honest I expected a less dramatic game, but as you can see, Mexico, even with the majority, couldn't do anything. Mexico had an impressive winning streak, not conceding a single goal, and the game was held at high altitude, so in my opinion, the odds were heavily skewed in Mexico's favor. England may be serial losers, but the overall quality of their players is significantly higher than Mexico's. As you can understand, I didn’t regret taking the risk

You took quite a risk there, mate, well done.
In the end, England got away with it, but they took a massive risk playing a man down against opponents who failed to capitalise on that advantage. Quansah made a very serious mistake, perhaps down to a lack of international experience in such a decisive match.
I still the point of view that England side is missing Cole Palmer or Mason Greenwood, players who add unpredictability and who could really unleash Bellingham’s creativity.

It seem like Norway did more than that, yes?! Thanks to Erling Haaland for those two goals to put his side up ahead. Andreas Schjelderup came in also as a substitute to deliver two great assist.
My serious take is that, Vinicius junior shouldn't have handed over that penalty to Bruno Guimaraes. That missed penalty was the obvious reason why they lost that game. Brazil national team lost their fear factor, I don't see Carlo Ancelotti winning them the 2030 world still.
Congratulations to England, Jude Bellingham and and Harry Kane buzzing last night.

The obvious reality is that this set of Brazilians is no where near as good as the Brazilians players of old. No flair and skills as they are known for, and what even surprises me the most was that they can't dominate the midfield as a top side should have done, so I believe that they deserves to lose, because if vinicius junior that is their brightest player is running away from responsibility, then it shows that they deserve to lose, because erling haaland will never leave the penalty duties to any other Norwegian player if he is in the pitch.so I congratulate them on a well deserve victory, because the match statistics speaks louder than our sentiment.

Compared to Brazilian players of the past, there is indeed a difference in quality between the current crop of Brazilian players, but the current crop of players is still considered above average, with their quality compared to most other national team players. At the same time, we must also acknowledge that Norway is currently experiencing its best period, much like Croatia golden generation when Modric and several other players were at their peak. This is a match between two evenly matched teams, so regardless of the outcome, neither a win nor a loss should be surprising.

Considering Brazil missed a penalty in the match, they essentially let this game slip through their fingers. Norway seemed to have created fewer chances, but Brazil failed to capitalize on their opportunities and had to go home early. I was expecting them to be eliminated late in South America, but Norway punished them by eliminating them.

From my list of teams that could win the European Champions League, the following remain: France, England, Norway, Argentina, Spain, and Portugal.

Brazil is already out, having lost against Norway. Today, either Portugal or Spain returns home, but even so, one of the teams I put on the list will be World Cup champion. France could be unlucky enough to lose against Morocco, it's possible, but even if that happened, there would still be Argentina, and the winner of today's match between Portugal and Spain. It's difficult to imagine that none of the teams I listed will be World Cup champions. For that to happen, it would have to be a miracle if the United States, Egypt, or Morocco won the World Cup. I think that's very unlikely.

Yeah I get why you wanted them to win. All those who saw that first half did. The altitude, the crowd, the pressing, England was barely getting by. And they were! That is literally what Tuchel planned. He knew his players would not be able to press at 2,240m without gassing out and so instructed them to sit deep and wait. Cold? Sure. But it worked.

Rice got a yellow card at 56 seconds. Before the majority of England had even had a glass of beer, all the midfield aggression had vanished.

The real criminal in all of this is Ancelotti though, not Tuchel. Everyone continues to point at Guimaraes for the penalty miss. But let us talk about that at the 78th minute? He pulled Guimaraes off, the only guy in that midfield actually doing anything creative. And literally 60 seconds later Haaland scores.

I understand that people have mixed emotions about Neymar. But yet, seeing him as a sub, barely fit, come out and kick a meaningless penalty in the centennial minute and just fall and cry? 80 goals for Brazil, done. "I tried and I tried. Now it is over". That got me honestly!

[Just Say]

There is a lot of fighting going on in today's match between Spain and Portugal in the knockout stage of this FIFA World Cup, because we can see that 82 minutes of today's match have already passed but neither team has scored a goal. In fact, I noticed earlier that Spain and Portugal participated in the UEFA Nations League final, where they also fought hard and the match was decided on penalties. We are seeing similar performances from these two teams today, so accordingly it seems that today's FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match may be decided by penalties. From what I saw, Spain counter-attacked a lot against Portugal in today's match, but Portugal played very skillfully, as a result Spain can't score a goal in this World Cup match.

Just to make an update on this game: Spain scored a late goal and passed to the next stage. Portugal players and fans returned home. We might hear officially that Cristiano Ronaldo will end his international career this year. He might keep playing in UEFA tournaments for a year or two maybe.

USA 1 - 2 Belgium.
I will not deny that I support Belgium because of the interference of politics with football. By seeing USA being eliminated, everyone will be less stressed in my opinion. Poor referees might be banned from entering the United States but they will save what left from FIFA dignity.

[W Jr.]

Belgium comfortably defeated the United States 4-1 and are now in the quarterfinals. The United States had come this far very well, but they couldn't withstand Belgium's quality play. Belgium played magnificently in this match. To be honest, I had some doubts about Belgium after seeing their previous matches, but they managed to win without much difficulty. Now a tougher match awaits them in the quarterfinals.
