Today was a World Cup Qualifiers match between Argentina and Colombia. The result of this match ended in a 1-1 draw. Argentina played very well in this match, but could not attack enough. Enzo Fernández was shown a red card in the 70th minute. At that time, I thought that Argentina would not be able to equalize, but Thiago Almada scored a goal in the 81st minute to equalize the team 1-1. I will praise the Argentine players, because they equalized by 1 goal despite being one player short. I had bet on Argentina in this match, but my luck was bad.

On the other hand, in the Brazil vs Paraguay match, Brazil won 1-0. Brazil played as expected in this match. Brazil won and came 3rd in the points table.

You have to take on consideration that Argentina has nothing to win in case of victory and nothing to lose if they drop points because they are already qualified first in CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers. Thus, betting on it is considered riskier than usual, although Argentina is considered almost a safe bet before.

On the other hand, in the Brazil vs Paraguay match, Brazil won 1-0. Brazil played as expected in this match. Brazil won and came 3rd in the points table.

Brazil did good winning this match and I suppose Ancelotti is feeling more comfortable with this victory especially that Brazil got a qualification ticket along with Ecuador.
Otherwise Uruguay and Paraguay will qualify soon and Colombia will follow normally. The problem will be limited between Venezuela and Bolivia for the intercontinental play-offs.

Argentina and Colombia is always a cracker and it always a hard fixtures and this game has not produced too many goals because these two teams know each other very well and has mastered to play each other a draw is not a bad result because Argentina is definitely going to qualify for the world cup because they have the quality to do that been the world champions

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?

Paraguay national football team performance was very bad in this match and that team could not do any goal in this match.  The shots of Paraguay football team were less in this match and these were only 5 and only 1 shot was on target. The possession percentage of that team was very low in this match and that was only 27 percent in this match and players could not hold the ball for more time and opponent team players tried to do goal and they did one goal in this match. The pass of that team were very low in this match and these were only 215 and passes of opponent team were 580 .Brazil national football team performed very well in all point of views and that was the reason they won the match at the end.

Today there have been a few matches of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Did any of you bet on the matches? I bet on two matches today. In the match between Argentina vs Venezuela, I bet on Argentina and the result of the match was as expected. Argentina easily beat Venezuela 3-0. Messi scored 2 goals, but missed a few goals towards the end. Venezuela was a weak team as an opponent. The Venezuelan players had no chance to attack.

In the match between Brazil and Chile, I bet on Brazil. Brazil easily won 3-0. Chile did not do well this season, losing one match after another. Today also lost by a big margin against Brazil. Chile are at the bottom of the points table.

This international break has been interesting and nearly going as predicted. My today's interests will be going to the game between DR Congo and South Sudan. This would be a game between the top and the bottom of group B table. Dr Congo is seated comfortably at the first position with 13 points while south Sudan occupies the 5th position with only 3 points. South Sudan would need to win this game to keep their hope alive but I fear that DR Congo may not be ready to gamble this game too. I think I would admit the reality that DR Congo would beat South Sudan by 2 goals margin to strengthen their stay at the top as Senegal and Sudan are just 1 point behind them.

Ironically all matches ended up with 3 goals to 0 except a draw between Paraguay and Ecuador.
Among all games, Brazil doesn't look superior to the other teams winning by 3 goals margins because Chile is indeed out of the competition. It is the weakest team in the competition along with Peru with Peru.

Did Argentina win even give nice amount of odds?    Because as far as I remember, it had really low odds. If I bet on the match I guess I'd go for a surprise result such as double chance on Venezuela which must have had 4-5 odds.

My bet was still going to lose but anyway... My reasoning would have been Venezuela's trying to stay in playoffs zone. They are lucky Bolivia didn't get any points last night. But still things are heated over there before the final round.

I also bet on Brazil to win, I bet on Argentina to win, but because the odds were very low in case they won, I opted to place a parlay that only had Argentina and Brazil games. Even so, the odds weren't very good, they were around @1.47, but since the risk of losing the bet was low, I didn't hesitate to bet.

Watch the Brazil game. In my opinion, the coach from now on should use today's squad. If he puts Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo and other players in addition to today's, then I predict disaster in the World Cup. If they really want to go far in the World Cup, then they need to play with the same squad they played today.

Just less than 50 minutes before Ukraine vs France game to start. I placed my bet for under 3.25 goals. My reason is that Franceh was rarely scoring a lot against Ukraine in the last two games. They often get 1-1 draw against Ukraine, which makes me think they most likely to get the same result.
They obviously have greater chance to win let's say 65% - 35% Ukraine, but i predict that won't be massive score. My prediction even if they will win, it will be 2-1. My bet is kinda risky, but i take it. Do you guys also betting on this game?

Ukraine vs France

Ukraine XI: Anatoliy Trubin, Yukhym Konoplia, Ivan Kalyuzhnyi, Heorhiy Sudakov, Oleksiy Hutsuliak, Artem Dovbyk, Illia Zabarnyi, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Yehor Yarmoliuk, Oleksandr Zubkov, Mykola Matviyenko (captain).

France XI: Mike Maignan (goalkeeper), Lucas Digne, Dayot Upamecano, Jules Kounde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Kylian Mbappe (captain), Michael Olise, Desire Doue, Manu Kone, Ibrahima Konate, Bradley Barcola.

Despite the matches are starting at the same time, I only want to focus on this particular match because I see it as most interested much for me tonight because they are a lot of players which I want to see their performance tonight especially in the France team. It is always difficult to predict when it comes to game like this because they don't always play often like they did in the club that's why we find it difficult to predict. I know France has a lot of good players but despite that I still have doubting their Victory, let's see how the games  end.

There is know doubt your prediction can come to reality due to the fact that in  football unbelievable things happen  at all time due to little mistake and other related reasons but for this one, i don't think it can come to reality because Ukraine have a very weak defence that gives room for conceding enough goals even when not expected they make it happen. As for France, they have a dangerous attacking line that are capable of forcing hell out of any team because of the presence of high quality players available in  the team currently. Although your prediction can still manifest but the end shall justify

France continued their away victory against Ukraine, scoring their second goal through Mbappe. Mbappe's goal, following Olise's, was a huge relief for the French. In the other group match, Iceland held a five-goal lead over Azerbaijan. They currently lead France on goal difference, but France could easily beat any team in this group.

France are seen as the favorite in that group not even Iceland, like France had to dominate the group, get pass every countries that came their way but with what I saw, is not how I pictured it. France have the players but it seems like they are all about playing a fancy style of play which denied them up to 3 goals in the first half, imagine if what happened to Netherlands had happened to France, like the Ukraine side getting an equalizer to level the game, they were lucky.
At half time France could have buried the game by scoring more than a goal, let's say like 3 to 4 goals but they had every opportunity but useless all of it amd they were comfortable just because the home side wasn't as strong as they are, fornnow I can't say the France side are good to go until they play against a more stronger team.

Ronaldo... 40 years old and still cooking at national team. 

2 goals scored in an easy 5-0 win against Armenia. Their group is really comfortable for them. They are most likely to finish the qualifiers with the highest goal difference.

England still don't look convincing. Only 2 goals against Andorra. 11 shots in total. Tuchel's arrival hasn't also changed things much yet.

[Lida93]

Brazil did good winning this match and I suppose Ancelotti is feeling more comfortable with this victory especially that Brazil got a qualification ticket along with Ecuador.
Otherwise Uruguay and Paraguay will qualify soon and Colombia will follow normally. The problem will be limited between Venezuela and Bolivia for the intercontinental play-offs.

it was a well deserved win for the former world champions and a result in the right time which would at least help the coach gain the confidence of the Brazilian because it was beginning to look as if Carlo Ancelotti wasn't the right pick for the position of the coach of the Brazilian side due to some flip flops of the teams when he took over as the coach of Brazil but with this win I believe the entire nation would begin to look up to their team with much respect.

Only wondering where are those people who wanted Ronaldo to be dropped. I guess they should have regretted it. He's still performing, though he's 40 years old. Portugal also being so clueless with finishing after losing him after he subbed off at the 2nd half. I see him as a leader in the club.
I see no reason not to play him. There's nobody in the squad that can replace his leadership. The better they trust him more.

Portugal could profit from Cristiano Ronaldo as much as they can but for how long? and who is his replacement? They will change their strategies to adapt his absences?
All these questions and a lot more needs answer because yes Cristiano Ronaldo is the best there and they could use him even for half an hour in a hard game to avoid losing him for an injury. No need to let him in the benches when he could still score for sure. Portugal has to prepare themselves in the era after his departure.

His a goal machine and I'm still not surprised his still having numbers like this at his age, 40+ and the man is still playing like his still in his prime. His RPG leg, the way he launched the shot as if it was a rocket, the keeper could only get a fraction of the ball before it found itself at the back of the net. As for England, I wasn't expecting a mere 2 - 0 win against a team like Andorra.

I don't think problem with Cristiano Ronaldo although he was 40 years old but keep consistent scoring goals for Portugal national teams, last night scored two goals and helper Portugal secure three points at World Cup qualifying match. I can't believing how second goals scoring out penalty box, looking for Cristiano Ronaldo performance last night I think he still around 29 to 32 years old.

England still confidence at the top performance after winning against Andorra, not really problem only scoring two goals but its enough for leading the top standings position of Group K. So far England won 4 of 4 games and looking forward have four games left at World Cup qualifying matches keep unbeaten and easily for qualifying to FIFA World Cup 2026?
