⚽ International Football Prediction and Discussion Thread ⚽

[snipie]

The last minute banger by Vinicius Jr was amazing!    But it was so extra you know. Brazil can do much better than this. We are talking about a country full of talents. I think their squad can be built up better than this as well.

Football have shifted from Brazil so much that they are no longer seen as a threat in the world stage unlike before when they dominated international football and was the team no one want to play. I'm talking about the era of Roberto Carlos, one of the best defender we have known in the history of football. Not Argentina is more feared than Brazil, maybe because Lionel Messi is still playing and there are still other great players that can subdue any national team as we have it now.

Indeed Brazil was one of the worst opponents to face in any fixtures. Playing against it is a guaranteed defeat, almost. Nowadays, Brazil is far from being the best team, they are weaker than most top European nations and I would say even nations in AFC, CAF... could win against them.
I cannot imagine Brazil receiving 2 goals in less than 15 minutes of the game. The other teams that surprised me a lot is Ecuador, they were able to collect more than a point. Same for Uruguay, they could do better and get better results.

I agree with you but is like these players don't play for the glory of the game anymore, they only go after individual display other than team coordination. Back then Argentina can't defeat Brazil just the way they did, instead it will be Brazil making life a living hell for Argentina and the players in the Brazil national team then are world class not these set of players that hardly show signs of seriousness in the team and this is another reason why I feel Vinicius Jr lost the Balloon dor to Rodi, in the national side he is terrible, if he's the captain of the side he can't bring them together rather he'll be making the whole situation on the pitch about him, even if they qualify for the World Cup I can't imagine them reaching the quarter finals.

From the Asian zone WC Qualifiers group C, Japan is confirmed to be 1 participant in the 2026 world cup. They have a perfect 20 points. After 8 matches without losing and 2 matches remaining. In other groups of world cup subscription countries such as South Korea, Iran is still at the top with a very big chance to represent Asia in the 2026 WC. Meanwhile, for the 2nd place in groups A, B, and C, there is still the potential to change.

I highlighted Indonesia in group C, they seemed very excited to qualify with the program of the descendant players. I see Almost every game there are always new additions. Their coaches are also experienced from the Netherlands Kluivert and Alex Pastor. Currently, Indonesia is in 4th position and it is difficult to qualify directly for the 2026 WC by finishing in 2nd place. It seems that Indonesia must return to compete in the 4th round. What do you think?

Have you seen Brazil vs Argentina match? I watched the first half, Argentina led 3-1 in the first half. So I didn't see the second half game, in the end Argentina won 4-1. No one expected Brazil to play so badly. Everyone thought the match would be competitive. Argentina took the lead early in the game. Argentina scored 1 goal in 4 minutes and 1 goal in 12 minutes and 2 goals in 37 and 71 minutes. However, Argentina played at home so the Argentinian players got more advantage. Argentina won and is number one with 31 points. On the other hand, Brazil lost and dropped from 3rd to 4th in the points table.

Perhaps most of you have witnessed this match, that is, the match between Brazil and Argentina. We have witnessed a great performance of world champions Argentina. I disagree with your point that Argentina got the most advantage because they played at home, in fact their opponents were not able to stop Argentina in any way. I did not know some of the Argentine players well but they performed yesterday with great foresight and some of them scored goals. Maybe this is what the world champion can be a team feature.I think the Brazilian team is also weakening and is currently being widely discredited. The Brazilian team's comeback is undeniable, with many discussing that Brazil might be able to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

analyzing the situation of these two teams you can notice the big gap that has existed for some years between Brazil and Argentina at the moment in fact Argentina seems to be going through a good moment with the victory of the world cup and the copa america Brazil, on the other hand, does not seem to have found the solution yet and this was also seen yesterday

The poor form of Brazilian players at international level has come under increasing scrutiny ahead of the 2026 World Cup, with them shining at club level but their performances falling far short of expectations when wearing the national team jersey. In my opinion, the only reason they were embarrassed by Argentina was because the players were more concerned with individual achievements than the team's results. As a result, they were unable to cope with the aggressiveness and speed of the opponent's attacks and their attacking line still had problems with productivity. I also don't know if they were under pressure playing for Brazil, but overall their performance was very bad.

The problem with the Brazilian national team is not the players, but the coach. Take for example the positions in which the Brazilian players were playing:



At Real Madrid, Vinicius plays on the right side, while Rodrygo plays on the left side. In the case of Raphinha at Barcelona, ​​he plays on the right side because the coach realized that he performs better that way. In the case of Matheus Cunha, he also plays on the right side at Wolves and had not played for 2 consecutive games. That way, there is no way to perform well in attack. There are many good Brazilian players, but Brazil still does not want to hire a foreign coach.

It's as if this new crop of Brazilian players don't really understand that the team is a well respected one and even though Argentina is a very strong team, I least expected this number of goals. It just made it look as if they are very amateur. The way this set of players are, I wonder if they can be able to do well if they qualify for the world cup.

Brazil's main weakness in this match was not being able to understand Argentina's match strategy. I would say Scaloni in particular surprised everyone with his new formation. A few days ago, we saw Argentina play in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match against Uruguay. And we all thought that Scaloni would keep Argentina's formation unchanged. Scaloni surprised everyone by creating a 4-1-4-1 formation in this match. And this was a completely unexpected thing for Dorival.



Argentina's midfield was Almanda-Mac Allister-Fernandes -De Paul. Brazil's attack failed to cut through this net. These four midfielders and Alvarez attacked at the same time and kept their midfield strong. And due to such a great performance of the midfielders, Argentina's defenders did not have to struggle much to resist Brazil's attack. Scaloni did not allow the Brazilian players to create many attacking opportunities.

With respect to what you say, it is very true, For me, the Brazilian attack does not have dominance in the central part of the game, Everything is based on long passes and going out to the sides, with midfielders making penetrations through the sides, both on the left with Vini and on the right with Roderigo, taking advantage of their good moment, but by having lateral dominance and not central everything fades away and what happened happens, Raphinha on the left with Vini did not do well, so things now have to improve, because if Brazil continues like this, they will have a very bad time, and even complicate their qualification.

The thing is that it's very easy to mark a team which is focused on playing an attacking pattern on just the wings and that's exactly what Brazil is doing because they seriously lack the players that would give them that midfield possession and creating opportunity to score. Vini and Raphina attacking from both flanks would be only very effective if the attacking force of the midfield see to their gameplay too.

Solution to this problem is to properly learn to manage your bankroll. Completely stop when you already have enough gambling. This way you can gamble with more freedom without thinking to secure your capital first before you play.

Well for me the key to everything is in that, knowing how to manage the money, I personally according to my experience in the casinos and for so many things that I have been through that I learned that anything I win in the casino no matter how little it is I have to withdraw it and see that money in my hands, either to spend it on whatever, but spend it, not leave anything in the casino or to play, after I spend everything, if I want to play what I should do is a new and small deposit and play with that, and that will always be my advice.

That's a good observation,  I also agree with you on this fact, if you have followed the Brazilian team all this while,  isn't that they don't have that quality players and good team but I believe their problem has been a coach that will manage the team well, and the earlier they realise this the better for them. And I wonder why these their retired big name players like KaKa, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Carlos, and many others aren't not seen close to managing their national team who maybe could have done incredibly well with their experience as a player and then Brazilian era.

There are going to be some interesting matches in the World Cup qualifiers on June 6.
Paraguay vs Uruguay
Ecuador v Brazil
Chile vs Argentina
Colombia vs Peru
Venezuela vs Bolivia

I think it's easy to predict the match between Chile vs Argentina. Argentina are in great form, so I will put Argentina ahead in this match. I will bet on Argentina in this match.

What is your opinion about these matches? And which team can be better to bet on?

Brazil and Argentina games are the easiest game to predict so far, while the rest is hard to bet. Argentina is surely winning the game against Chile, and there may be more than two goals to be scored. They will obviously win with cleansheet.

On other hand, Brazil's game is also worth to bet. I remind you Ancelotti already took the charge as Brazillian's head coach, and i believe they can perform multiple times better than what they did under Dorival. No more shitty game play to be showed by them. They will play as good as what they used in the past.

I bet on Brazil, but Brazil did not win, the match ended in a draw. Ecuador played much better than Brazil, Ecuador was ahead in attack.

Yes, Argentina won 1-0 in the end, I was confident that Argentina would win this match, Argentina played as expected. Julián Alvarez scored 1 goal for Argentina in the first half to put the team ahead. But Argentina did not do much better in the second half.

Yeah no surprises Argentina won their game against Chile which is officially eliminated from FIFA World Cup. Just Argentina could score more goals which they didn't do.
Paraguay victory is also not surprising.
Brazil isn't ok at all and Ancelotti has a lot of work to fix the Brazilian team.
Colombia and Venezuela are favourite in the other games

The shots of Argentina  football team were more in number and these were 10 and only 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 67 percent.

Chile national football team is badly sick and the first to be eliminated from CONMEBOL qualifiers. They are playing right now against 10 players from Bolivia and still failing to score any goal in the beginning of the second half and the result still 1 - 0 for Bolivia.
Chile is barely scoring goals and receiving more than twice what they were scoring. It is very bad performance from them. I still recall the team was in good shape many years ago comparing to the failure actual one.
