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.

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.

This victory for Portugal was truly valuable. Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo's continued scoring throughout his career is another indication that he's still playing at a high level. We see that Cristiano Ronaldo comes to Portugal because he's performing really well. He scored two goals, and he did it over the age of 40. He's arguably one of the oldest players to score in international competition. Had he not been substituted, he might have scored a hat trick and could have broken the record for that as well. He's a truly incredible player, in every way.

It seems no one noticed how Germany is sitting comfortably at the bottom of the table that include Slovakia, Luxembourg and Nothern Ireland. Although, this is like just a beginning because they've only played one match each but it still counts. Moreover, I don't think any of us could have imagined Germany for once at the bottom of the table in a group like this.


The four teams in this group will play their second match today and Germany will face Nothern Ireland tonight. If they failed to win today again, their chances to play in the next World Cup will be dashed further.

It's only one match, but it means a lot. if Germany still played shite like that, believe me, they will finish at the bottom. I know their upcoming fixtures ain't hard, but must be fixing their problem asap. Kinda funny to see them to at the bottom when they being labelled as one of football house, right?

I hope Germany will sack Naglesman if they still played the same like that they against Slovakia. No more experiment, no more unnecessary rotation, and no more Goretzka and Gnabry in their line up. That's enough to see them out of top 9 FIFA ranking caused by the previous defeat.

If they still get another bad result, they may not get a place in the pot 1 of WC.

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.

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.

even at forty Ronaldo is still a big player, scoring two more goals to crush Armenia 5 - 0. He is now the highest scorer in Portugals history with 140 points, and he is also claimed a record the oldest goal scorer. The start of the game was also very emotional, because they were remembering Diogo Jota.

But yes, when he was substituted, Portugal suddenly slowed down, just showing how important he is as a pillar of victory and a great player in the dressing room.

other hand England 2 - 0 win against Andorra was pretty meh, only 11 shots, all left/right passes, then Tuchel's dribbles in tired attacks made the headlines.

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.

I knew it was going to be an easy one... That was from their previous match against Colombia that ended with a 1-1 draw. Argentina played an exceptional game and Messi, once again, for the last time, proved himself!

As for Colombia and Argentina, they've always been strong rivals in international football. Paraguay also played well in their match; the missed couple of changes and dominated the match but luck wasn't on their side I guess because they were supposed to either draw the match or win.

Tomorrow, there will be a few matches of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Argentina vs Ecuador
Brazil vs Bolivia
Chile vs Uruguay
Venezuela vs Colombia
Peru vs Paraguay.

In Argentina vs Ecuador match, Argentina are favorites. But the quarter-final match of the last Copa America between these two teams was very competitive. So hopefully this match can also be exciting. But I will put Argentina ahead. I want to bet on Argentina in this match.
What is your prediction about these matches and which team is the favorite?

UEFA  FIFA World Cup 26, yesterday's results:

I placed two bets. One on Scotland to beat Belarus, and another on Italy to beat Israel. Both bets paid off, giving the small boost to my total bankroll. The Italy vs. Israel match was the real thriller, as Italy managed to score two own goals, i.e. one by Manuel Locatelli and the other by Alessandro Bastoni. In the end, Italy hit the net 7 times, with two of those goals going into their own net.

This current sets of German players aren’t playing quite an impressive football unlike their past Team, the one that was called the German golden generation which included the likes of Bastian Schweinstiger, Mesut Ozil, Podolski, Thomas muller, Toni Kroos etc. this current sets of players really have a lot of work to do, and I think the coach is aware of that. I’m not surprised to see them falling in the hands of Slovakia, but it’s a good thing they tried to get themselves together and bounced back to win the match against Northern Ireland. Hopefully they can build from there and go all out to securing a ticket for the 2026 fifa World Cup.

My bet for the upcoming games. I take Argentina vs Ecuador and Brazil vs Bolivia to gamble with. I'm just doing a small parlay, but hope it will pay off caused by Argentina and Brazil have very good odds to bet.

As for the future outcome, i'm fully rooting on Argentina and Brazil to win their games. Argentina are on fire with Messi who is still performing well. Meanwhile, Brazil is also showing how their new talents could perform. I'm expecting those nations to win with the massive score.
I hope my prediction was right.

After Germany's golden generation, this situation has become frustrating. Everyone knows Germany is a tournament team, but they haven't been very successful lately. Perhaps the players in this era aren't driven by the same desire for success. Still, I think Germany will qualify for the World Cup.

My bet for the upcoming games. I take Argentina vs Ecuador and Brazil vs Bolivia to gamble with. I'm just doing a small parlay, but hope it will pay off caused by Argentina and Brazil have very good odds to bet.

This looks persuasive to me. I’ll likely follow your steps and place the similar bets. Though both teams will be playing on hostile grounds ^{where their opponents will be supported by mobs of their fans}, according to head-to-head statistics, Ecuador and Bolivia are less likely to win. For example, in clashes between Bolivia and Brazil, the latter has won 24 times, while Bolivia has only won 5. Besides, odds for both matches are very attractive.

Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are not playing at home so it going to be difficult match for all side, Ecuador are a very strong side and their last 4 matches have ended in a draw, even the last time they hosted Argentina it also ended in a draw so predicting Argentina to win in this fixture is a hard one. If I am to gamble on this match it will be under2.5

In the Bolivia vs Brazil matches I expected brazil to win this match but since they won’t be playing at home and the weather conditions in Bolivia is always ash they maybe Brazil will struggle but I expect them to win.

Yeah, mate. I also aware both Argentina and Brazil have good h2h against their opponents. I get 6.02 for the total odds from doing this parlay. Even if you're doing straight bet (non parlay) for these games. The odds still worthy as Argentina offers you 2.70 and Brazil 2.23 as per stake's odds. I'm feeling very optimistic Argentina and Brazi to win their games.
Try to take any opportunities while it's still there.

That is mainly because he was playing against Armenia, not someone that great. However, we can go back and look at the world cup a few years ago, and you can see that he didn't do much and they lost to Morocco, which shows that when there is a team that can challenge them, they end up losing.

Ronaldo at 40 is the best player at 40 years old in history of football, no player has ever been as good as him at 40 years old, that is true. But maybe we should stop acting as if he is still great, he is "great for 40 years old", but not great in general, that's different. I wouldn't put him even in my top 50 best players currently playing. There is a difference between being good for your age, and being good, he is only good for his age.

In 2009, a young Dominik Szoboszlai walked out as a mascot for Hungary, standing right beside Cristiano Ronaldo  the man every kid dreamed of being like. He was just a boy then, full of hope, eyes wide open, looking up at his idol in disbelief.

Fast forward to today, he’s no longer the kid holding on to the moment, he's now Hungary’s captain and in less than 10 minutes from now, he'll lead the Hungarian team out to face the Portuguese national team that's captained by the same man he was looking up to 16 years

Football is beautiful like that. It reminds us that dreams are not just fantasies. From idolizing a legend to sharing the pitch with him. That’s the magic only football can create. Can't wait to experience this beautiful moment

[snipie]

-snip-

Dominik played well his match and Hungary resisted Portugal as much as they can.
We cannot compare the two teams nowadays, Portugal is way stronger. Hungary started scoring and at the end of the game didn't enjoyed the draw for long time.
Back to Dominik, kids like him when they go to the stadium to stay near famous players, it is intentionally to inspire them. For him, it was a success story, maybe not associated with a victory for his team but it was a moment that he was waiting for.

Today Argentina could not perform as expected. Have any of you seen this match? I think there was something wrong with the referee's decision. However, Argentina fell behind by 1 goal in the 1st half and Ecuador eventually won. In the 2nd half, Argentina were far ahead in passes and possession, but could not attack. Argentina players have not done well enough. However, Ecuador played at home, so Ecuador took advantage of the opportunity. Ecuador won and they moved up to number 2 in the points table.


On the other hand, the Brazilian players could not play as expected, Brazil lost 0-1. Bolivia played brilliantly and won.

[laspol65]

My bet for the upcoming games. I take Argentina vs Ecuador and Brazil vs Bolivia to gamble with. I'm just doing a small parlay, but hope it will pay off caused by Argentina and Brazil have very good odds to bet.

Your idea is right but if their performance on the field is bad then the gamblers have nothing to do. Although I am deprived of betting in this game I did not participate in gambling, but if I had participated in winning I would have supported Argentina and Brazil teams. I never imagined that reputable teams would perform like this, every team works hard to protect its reputation.
But in this match of Brazil vs Bolivia, although Brazil team lost, I can still console my mind because the number of attacking players in Brazil team is very few. But it is completely beyond imagination that Argentina will lose with Argentina vs Ecuador team. I definitely learned a lesson from these two bets that reputable teams perform very badly against weak teams.

I know lots of people who betted on Brazil and Argentina to win, they believed they're very strong teams and decided to take advantage of the big odds given to both teams but football happened to them, the most shocking is Bolivia winning Brazil, I understand that Ecuador is tough to beat cause they've got quality players in their team but I kept wondering why Brazil couldn't beat Bolivia.

 I understand your pain dear, the kind of squad the Brazil nation have in their team could make you believe they could beat any team so seeing them lose to Bolivia is enough to get any bettor pissed, what I learnt is that football is not about having the best squad and sometimes the odds can be deceiving.

There is no way you won't be attracted after seeing the odd  that was given to Brazil and Argentina to win in the game because they are the better side when you compare the teams they played against, I thought the odd was given to them because they were playing from away and I staked on both of them to win but seeing how both teams were defeated by the same number of goal shows that the bookies already suspected the game to be a difficult one for them.

Brazil and Argentina has good history against their opponent losing the game only shows the level of improvement in the Ecuador and Bolivian team they were the better side and they got rewarded for their efforts.
