The first matches of the day are about to start in the World Cup qualifiers. The matches that are important for me are the ones in Group E though.

• Türkiye - Bulgaria
• Georgia - Spain

I'm expecting us to get a huge win against Bulgaria once again. In the previous one we won by 6-1 away. We really need a big score in this to keep our GD as high as possible for gaining an advantage in playoffs by being one of seeded teams.

Yamal won't be playing for Spain in their remaining group matches. However I don't think they will lose points today anyway. They are still strong as a team even without him.

The Turkish team are in the right frame of mind to beat Bulgaria which is not what we should not be worried about, they did it in the first meeting and that should be a motivation to repeat it is a grand style.

The second match Georgia-Spain I'm vouching for a win in favour of Spain in the absence of Lamine Yamal which should have been an added advantage for the Spanish but this is a squad that plays as a team and do not depend on one key player to always make the day.

Georgia is a new force for soccer growth but in the world cup qualifiers this time they have really changed drastically after they did quite well in the euro but for the world cup it seems like they are really struggling and Kvaratskhelia is not able to make the situation good for now.

The first half against Spain they still look bad as they are even 3 goals down at the moment.
Although we know that in the end this is a normal situation when Georgia is still unable to balance the squad with the previous series of defeats but I still think in this match they gave a good fight but the results are really chaotic for them now.
With the conditions in the first half it looks like they will go through this match with another defeat which makes the chance could be even more closed for the World Cup.

Carlos Ancelotti and his players at Emirates Stadium London leading by 2–0 in international friendly game against Senegal after securing their spot into FIFA World Cup now they are preparing for mega event and it's perfect result for them Neymar is already out of squad which is called a good move for Brazilian soccer.

Casemiro and Estêvão score goals for the Samba which is trying to have good depth as this World Cup is going to be amazing with 48 teams and three countries are hosting which will give great entertaining games and this team needs to be had their best because they are losing their depth and things are looking not favourable but Don Ancelotti always expert in magic which bring good results for teams.

There's nothing specialy from Brazil's game against Senegal. The only positive things is that Estevao is starting to blend with the club and Casemiro is not yet a washed player despite getting older. Don't forget how garbage Richarlison is. He's deserves to be dropped off from the squad.
The game is ending with two nil. It's fulfilling our expectation if they would win it.

But the starting eleven and the formation played are still weak 4-2-2-2. And Rodrygo at Real Madrid never plays or is rarely played, yet he is made a starter. Cunha at Manchester United is also lackluster when made a starter. Or Brazil currently doesn't have a competent number 9 striker. Even though in the Brazilian league, many local Brazilian players score a lot of goals. One example is Victor Roque, a former Barcelona player.

Even before the games started, we all know what the results would be and currently, they just ended halftime while warming up for the second half. Spain is leading Georgia with 3:0, while Turkey is leading Bulgaria with 1:0. I expect Spain to score more goals in the second half, likewise Turkey because both opponents are not strong enough to repels attacks, so they are likely to concede more goals.

Spain is good to go without Lamine Yamal, so his absence means nothing to the squad as they can still perform honorably without the Barcelona right winger.

My country's national team lost, but if my country's team had played with more seriousness, perhaps they could have managed a draw. If even my country's team caused difficulties for Morocco, then I doubt Morocco will go far in the World Cup. They will probably also lose immediately against opponents outside of Africa.

The result looks better for Mozambique than Morocco because we are talking about the African nation that ended fourth in the World Cup in Qatar three years ago. I agree with you about the future of Morocco and even all African teams in the upcoming World Cup. The level of these teams is weak comparing to those playing in UEFA and CONMEBOL. Maybe they can get a chance against the other Asian, Oceania, North and Central American teams.

Ancelotti is a genius coach; he can change players' positions and get the best performance out of them. This characteristic of his is something the Brazilian national team needs. That's why I think it was the best choice the Brazilian Football Federation made in appointing Ancelotti as national coach.

Knowing that Ancelotti knows European football and the great European players very well, he will know how to handle each national team in the World Cup. I don't know when the World Cup groups will be announced, but Brazil could probably be in the same group as Senegal or Japan.

The performance of the African teams was a disaster; I wonder what on earth they'll do in the World Cup, because it seemed to me that they have great difficulty beating teams from outside Africa. Morocco chose my country to play a friendly match, and the result was as expected:



My country's national team lost, but if my country's team had played with more seriousness, perhaps they could have managed a draw. If even my country's team caused difficulties for Morocco, then I doubt Morocco will go far in the World Cup. They will probably also lose immediately against opponents outside of Africa.

The Moroccan team played very well in the 2022 World Cup, finishing in 4th place, but I haven't been following the most recent games closely and don't know exactly how the team is playing.
I'm sorry that your country didn't qualify for the 2026 World Cup when it lost to Guinea. It would be nice to see Mozambique competing in its first World Cup

I remember memorable African teams, such as Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, and even Ghana, but for some time now, I haven't been able to see the consistency and level they played at a few years ago
With nine teams playing in the 2026 World Cup, maybe one of them will make it to at least the quarterfinals
I was surprised that Cameroon and Nigeria had to compete in the second round to try to qualify for the playoffs, and that Cameroon had already been eliminated

Morocco national football team played last match against Mozambique national football team and that was match of excitement because both teams were in good position and that was friendly match and we saw one goal in this match but players of both teams were warm to win this match because they want to be famous after this match because these match Could give them fame in less time .Mozambique  football team could not do any goal after the performance of all players as they did not attack from the start of the match and thought that they will win this match with attacking on opponent team. Morocco  football  team was good side and they won this match.

What a win by Portugal! But of course I know it was a piece of cake for them. They even looked better without Ronaldo.    All kidding aside, he really should be more careful in the World Cup. They will need him especially against tough competitors there.

It will be his last World Cup at the same time... An end of an era for a legend but for now I doubt he can finish his national career with a WC trophy. I wonder if it will be Messi's last one also. I would love to watch him longer at least.

It was a massive win for Portugal against Albania, they really trashed the Albanian side winning them 9-1. I think Cristiano Ronaldo really missed out on this party of goals, he’s a lover of goals and like scoring goals, I’m sure he will be gutted at this moment not to be involved in this game because I know for sure if he were to be involved in this game and with the number of goals scored he would have scored a lot of them especially the three penalties scored by Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo would have been the one to take those penalties if he was in the pitch. It would have been a massive boost for him to add to his goal tally as he chased his 1000 career goals.

Portugal is a great football nation so I don't expect that the incident of Ronaldo would weaken them especially when they're playing against Albania, with out without Ronaldo their team is good, just that the presence of Ronaldo makes them tougher.
 True, he ought to be more careful not to repeat such misconduct in he world Cup, he might be old but he's still an important figure in the team we can't say he's not relevant yes he's. Portugal should count themselves lucky that asides Ronaldo they still got players like Bruno, Bernardo silva and Mendez, Felix, the rest player are good too but these ones are more outstanding.

So the final result was Angola 0 - 2 Argentina.
The victory of Argentina national football team was expected. Well I assume some people expected more goals in this game. Lautaro Martinez and Lionel Messi assisted themselves and scored a goal each time.
The fans of both clubs enjoyed seeing Messi more than the match tho.
In the other friendlies, Japan and South Korea won their games against Ghana and Bolivia respectively. Canada just got a draw in front of Ecuador. Egypt lost vs Uzbekistan! and Ivory Coast lost in front of Saudi Arabia! It is true that it isn't that serious matches but Egypt and Ivory Coast really surprised me..

In the 2022 World Cup, Morocco's performance was very fantastic. If the top star players from the 2022 World Cup are still active and playing, Morocco's performance in the 2022 World Cup could possibly be repeated in the 2026 World Cup. In the 2022 World Cup, Morocco was able to win their group, eliminating two group favorites, Belgium and Croatia. They then eliminated Spain and Portugal. In the semifinals, they were stopped by France. Reaching the semifinals alone was already a very extraordinary achievement for Morocco.

Portugal 9 - 1 Armenia!
Portugal scored like half of the goals of all games in just one match. Mind you Cristiano Ronaldo was not playing due to the red card and I assume he is really pissed right now because he needs these eady goals in order to reach the 1k in his career. Do not worry he will not repeat his bad attitude in the World Cup.

It will be his last World Cup at the same time... An end of an era for a legend but for now I doubt he can finish his national career with a WC trophy. I wonder if it will be Messi's last one also. I would love to watch him longer at least.

Yeah Portugal is not one of the contenders, at least not now. There is Argentina indeed, maybe France and Spain too.

It was an amateurish action by Ronaldo. As an additional information that was the first ever red card in Ronaldo's national matches. This also makes me think that he wouldn't make the same mistake in the World Cup.

Yeah Portugal is not one of the contenders, at least not now. There is Argentina indeed, maybe France and Spain too.

I agree. I wouldn't count Portugal among number one contenders for the World Cup title either. Argentina, France and Spain all are more likely teams to achieve it.

The last World Cup didn't go well for Spain as they got eliminated by Morocco early dramatically. But they are much stronger than those times now.

In yesterday's international matches, Germany achieved a significant victory with a 6-0 home victory over Slovakia. Leroy Sané was the star with two goals. It was also a match where other players showed their talents. We already knew Germany had a very high-quality squad. This match was proof of that. It was an enjoyable match for Germany. Also, in today's matches, Spain will host Turkey. Spain won the match in Turkey by six goals. I believe they will win the match in Spain easily as well.

Spain played away in Turkey and managed to win decisively 6-0. Especially playing at home in Spain, supported by many of their fans, they clearly were able to win easily.
Regarding Germany, an extraordinary performance after the first match when they surprisingly lost 2-0 away in Slovakia. But playing at home, Germany did not want to repeat the same mistake. They immediately stepped on the gas from the first half and were already leading 6-0 by halftime. Florian Wirtz, who has not yet been able to show his quality at Liverpool, once again demonstrated it in the national team with his contribution of 2 assists to Leroy Sané.

[MykeAdams]

What make me not understand is Neymar, he can play for Brazil, but he haven't play any single game in Al Hilal. Based on few sources I found if Neymar is still injured lol, I think he has no interest to play in Saudi Professional League. Wihout Neymar, Brazil can still able to beat Bolivia to be honest.

There's no any good matches yet, we will see a big match in the next 2 months where Brazil will meet Argentina.

Well actually i agree with you mate, most people think Brazil can't do without neymar jnr meanwhile forgetting the fact that they've beaten Bolivia so many times with neymar. Actually the game of football doesn't really depends on one player to make the best move to make the team successful, bolivia national team can't be compared to that of brazil national team, Brazil has attackers in the likes of vinicious, raphinha, rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus and endrick too as an emerging star.

So looking at it alone the team can possibly do without neymar because they do have that team spirit among them which makes them win some games played out.

Spain played away in Turkey and managed to win decisively 6-0. Especially playing at home in Spain, supported by many of their fans, they clearly were able to win easily.

First meet, Spain easily defeating Turkey over 6-0 but for today match Spain team leaving by several key players who performed well at first meet from Pedri and Lamine Yamal. Actually Spain have secure position for leading top standings Group E and qualifying to World Cup by getting one points only, if loss still not bring huge impact yet because Spain have many difference goals from Turkey. However playing at home and get full support from fans seems easily for winning the match and make Spain unbeaten record in World Cup qualifier round matches.

Regarding Germany, an extraordinary performance after the first match when they surprisingly lost 2-0 away in Slovakia. But playing at home, Germany did not want to repeat the same mistake. They immediately stepped on the gas from the first half and were already leading 6-0 by halftime. Florian Wirtz, who has not yet been able to show his quality at Liverpool, once again demonstrated it in the national team with his contribution of 2 assists to Leroy Sané.

Germany played well last nigh by defeating Slovakia over 6-0, the first goals process scoring by Nick Woltemade so excellent after success heading the ball trough crossing from Kimmich. Florian Wirst performed well indeed has inconsistent with Liverpool but success creating two assists for goals scoring by Leroy Sane, Germany success qualifying to World Cup and Slovakia still fight at playoff round for securing ticket to World Cup 2026.

I'm never expecting even a draw from us against Spain today. I don't think they will do any rotation first of all. Because mathematically their place is still not guaranteed. But logically it is already! 

We already got a horrible score against them before. This time I just hope we don't get a similar one. Our midfield will be weaker as İsmail Yüksek is suspended. Our defending will be less strong without him I'm afraid.

But above all, I see it just as a dead rubber. We are in playoffs for sure.

[rdluffy]

In a few hours, Brazil will play against Tunisia in what will be the team's last game this year
The odds are very low, and Brazil is the clear favorite

Another game I'll be watching today is:
United States vs. Uruguay
I think it could be a good game, especially after the US team managed to beat Paraguay. It's a chance to show off their skills against a stronger opponent

Are you keeping an eye on any other games today?
Any good odds worth betting on?
